红酒,又被提出来说


看来想长生不老的人很多,《纽约时报》今天又在头版报导红酒有延年益寿作用的文章。

说红酒里有一种元素叫resveratrol,它可以延长寿命。有人用提炼出来的resveratrol在老鼠身上实验,结果能延长它们30%的寿命。

但对此论持怀疑态度的人说:那是因为喂给老鼠的剂量很大才会管用,按照类似体重的比例,一个人一天要喝100瓶的酒,才能起作用。

但试验者反驳说:也许红酒本身还有其他元素,说不定它们和resveratrol在一起的时候,就会起作用。

我要是记者,我一定会问做试验的人:哪你为什么不直接用红酒在老鼠身上做试验呢?

就怕人家很扫兴地回答:早做过了,不管用。

想起JOHN LENNON 这首歌: Beautiful Boy--John Lennon

     

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster's gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While you are busy making other plans,

Beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful Boy,
Darling, Darling, Darling Sean.

Lift Me Up-- Bruce Springsteen

 

   

 I don't need your answered prayers
Or the chains your lover wears
I don't need your rings of gold
Or the secrets that you hold
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up

I don't need your sacred vow
Or the promise tomorrow brings
Veiled behind the morning clouds
I'll take the fate the daylight brings
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up

When the morning bright
Lifts away this night
In the light above
We will find our love, we will find our love

Your skin, your hand upon my neck
This skin, your fingers on my skin
This kiss, this heartbeat, this breath
This heart, this heart, this wilderness
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up

敢吃苦的小甜心


海水对于人,既苦又涩,偶尔呛一口,半天不舒服。

但樱桃小番茄就不同了,它们喝点海水之后,反倒能变得越来越甜。有科学试验证明,敢吃苦的樱桃小番茄同学,个个都是小甜心。

意大利PISA大学的CRISTINA SGHERRI 老师和同事们做了如下试验:用12%的海水浇灌樱桃状的小番茄之后,它们的果实,会比一般常用水养出来的番茄小60%,但味道却更加甜美,含更高的果酸,抗氧化剂(ANTIOXIDENT)和维生素C,E 等营养物质。这项研究成果发表在近期的《农业化学期刊》(The Journal of Agricultural Chemistry)上。

“快乐教授”说快乐


延伸阅读,纽约时报--The Smiling Professor


哈佛大学社会心理学教授Daniel Gilbert被人成为“快乐教授”,在上面的那篇采访中,他谈到以下几点有趣的“快乐”常识:

--试验证明:人们往往不能正确地预料什么样的未来会让他们快乐和不快。事实上,坏事并不象我们料想的那样糟糕,好事也没有我们想象的那样好。好消息是:盲目地往前走,结果并不象我们预料的那么坏,坏消息是:即使你将来中了乐透奖,你也不会想你自己预料的那样快乐。

--我们中的许多人都比较理性。在不好的事情发生之后,我们会找出很多自我安慰的理由,让自己心理平衡。那些有病态忧郁症的人,就是缺乏这种能力的人。

--拥有钱本身并不会使你快乐,拥有物品也不会让你快乐。是你对生活的体验和愉快经历,让你快乐。比如,见你想见的人,去你想去的地方,和另你愉快的家人朋友相处,或者参加一些让你喜欢的活动。

--“快乐教授”自己的快乐秘诀:我爱笑,我的书中到处都是笑话。
