好的人际关系让我们开心和健康

  说它疯狂,因为这是一个跟踪了724个男人,历时75年的研究,经历了4代科学家团队。他们想观察人类,随着时间流逝,从青少年到老年,是什么让他们健康和幸福?
  这样的研究出奇的少,因为一般都只能坚持十来年,有太多人退出研究,或者研究经费耗光了,或者科学家精力分散了,或者他们死了。但哈佛的这个研究,经过几代科学家的坚持和合作,坚持下来了。最初的724个研究对象,现在大约60个还活着,他们大多数90岁了。
  从1938年开始,哈佛的科学家开始跟踪两个群体男人的生活,一个是精英,哈佛学院的二年级学生,他们在二次世界大战中完成学业,大多数奔赴战场。第二个群体是屌丝,来自波士顿最穷的地区,许多家庭麻烦不断,处在社会的最劣势阶层。
  科学家访谈了所有这些年轻人,给他们做身体检查,到他们家里做家访,和父母交谈。724个年轻人长大后,进入各行各业,有的成为工厂工人,有的成为律师、泥水工、医生,其中一个成了美国总统。有些酗酒,有些精神分裂。有些从社会最底层爬到了最顶层,有些则相反。
  这项研究的创始人再疯狂,也没想到,75年后,这个研究还在继续。现在每两年,哈佛的研究成员会给这些男人打电话,问还能不能给他们发问卷。此外,还到他们家里做访谈,看他们的医疗记录,跟他们的孩子访谈,量血压,甚至扫描他们的大脑。
  有趣的是,许多来自波士顿(穷人区)的男人问,为什么你们一直研究我,我的生活没那么有意思。但哈佛(精英)的男人从来不问。
  75年,科学家从成千上万页的信息中得到了什么?
  跟财富、名声、或者努力工作都没关系。最清晰的答案是:“好的人际关系让我们开心和健康。”
  第一,社会联系有益于我们,孤独寂寞则是伤害。那些跟社区、家庭、社会和朋友有更多联系的人,会更开心,身体更健康,比那些少联系的人长寿。而孤独的人更少开心,进入中年身体健康下降,大脑功能衰退更快。
  第二,人际关系无关数量,而是你的“近关系”的质量。研究发现,生活在冲突关系中对生活有害。高冲突的婚姻,对身心的伤害严重程度超过离婚。而生活在好关系中人,温暖的关系是有保护。好的关系是衰老的缓冲,幸福的夫妻说,他们80岁时,身体有疼痛,他们的心情是好的;但那些呆在不开心关系中的人,当他们身体疼痛时,会被情绪的伤痛加剧。
  第三,好的人际关系不仅保护身体,还保护大脑。那些感到有人依靠的,他们的记忆力更持久,而那些缺少依赖的,他们的记忆衰老更早。而且好的关系不会被消磨,有些八九十岁的老夫妻,能日以继夜的构筑他们的关系。
  如此简单的答案,为什么这么难得到,又那么容易被忽略呢?
  沃尔丁格博士说,因为我们都是人,喜欢速战速决,喜欢那些能让生活马上变好的东西,人际关系很麻烦、复杂,不性感也不魅力四射。而且是终生的,从不结束。
  但感觉最开心的人,是主动把工作让位于生活的人。就像我们近些年的调查,许多年轻人相信他们需要财富、名声和巨大的成就。但岁月流逝,75年后,我们会发现,真正活的最开心的是那些有着亲密家人、朋友、社区的人。
  所以,开心和健康的秘诀是:
  一不让自己孤独
  二朋友在精不在多
  三持续耕耘你的关系

对牙齿保健的体会和看法

来源: shanfengdao 于 2015-12-17


(1)刷牙的重点部位,方法

龋齿最容易发生在牙龈与牙齿接合缝处,这里容易留存食物残渣,引起细菌繁殖产生酸性物质蚀损牙齿,引发龋齿,是刷理的重点部位。牙刷要顺着牙龈与牙齿接合缝处刷,动作要轻柔,不可过力压,否则天长日久会刷出牙龈沟来,暴露出齿根部,反而加速对牙的损害!最后一个臼齿的后面要刷净,由于处在最后面,往往忽略。其实牙龈面也要轻柔刷摩,有助于血液循环。

要选用软毛牙刷,水滴都能石穿,别说要用牙刷刷牙几十年了,刷牙过力也是损害牙齿和牙龈的一个因素,这点常常被人忽略。

刷单个牙齿的内外侧面要变动牙刷的角度。牙刷纵向上下刷动时幅度不能过大,以免推挤牙龈后缩,暴露出牙根。

用牙线可很好的清除齿间根部的残留物,而这是用牙刷清除不到的。牙线用起来较麻烦,能每天坚持用的人意志坚强,值得人们尊重,学习。

(2)刷牙的时机

通常人们都是早晚各刷一次牙,即晨起刷牙,然后吃早餐,开始一天的日程。晚餐后在临睡前刷牙。

应该是吃完早餐后刷牙,牙齿更清净,更有清爽感。若是早餐后刷牙,口腔就留存食物残渣了。

晚餐后即刷牙,及时清除食物残渣。

中餐后也应刷牙,不用牙膏也有好效果。

(3)食物

饼干之类的食物既没什么营养,又易粘附在牙床上,是细菌繁殖的极佳温床,少吃或不吃为妙。

可乐之类的磷碳酸饮料的酸性成分,蚀损牙齿的珐琅质,含有大量的糖和化学添加剂,对身体健康无益,同样对牙也无益。我们要共同抵制这些庞大,邪恶的商业帝国,抽砖揭瓦使之坍塌,利在当代,功在千秋。可惜有觉悟的人不多,这些饮料仍在横行。

牙齿怕酸性的东西,吃了酸性的食物后,及时漱口。

喝浓茶,咖啡会有些牙斑形成,特别要注意刷牙时,牙膏没完全清除会形成牙垢。牙垢多微孔,是细菌的藏身处所。用上述的保健牙齿方法,牙斑牙垢少有形成。

牙垢一旦形成,光用牙刷难以去除,要去牙医洗牙。

牙缝粘卡有食物,不要用牙签之类挑剔,会伤及牙龈,用口香糖(只需半颗)嚼几下,以手指抵压口香糖在食物处挤压,很容易弄出来。

3 Keys To Value Investing Success & Financial Freedom


During our interview, multi-millionaire value investor, author, award-winning entrepreneur and founder of the 8I Group Ken Chee said that he was “not smart”. But this is the same person who transformed 8 Investment from a private investment business with $0 start-up capital into a public-listed company with a market capitalisation in excess of S$350,000,000 within 7 years. Apart from years of experience and practice, he also attributed his success to three important mindsets, which he is happy to share.

1) Being Humble and Eager to Learn

“I tell myself that the more I know, the more I don’t know,” said Ken. “In other words, the more knowledge I acquire, the more I realise that there are other areas that I’ll need to understand regarding that topic.” That also explains why he is a hungry learner who likes to associate himself with the experts of the field, constantly asks questions and always keeps an open mind.

Though he jokingly calls himself a “lazy” person who just wants to “sleep and let his money grow”, Ken still makes the effort to read actively outside work and be sufficiently updated on the latest happenings such as new economic policies and reforms, etc. He also mentioned that it was through daily observation that he spots the companies to invest in, so even for value investors who prefer to look at long-term performances, there is still quite some research to be done on a regular basis. In fact, his advice for young aspiring investors who have limited experience and resources is to “always invest in one’s own knowledge first”.
Talk to Ken Chee Face-to-Face Now!

2) Being Patient and Looking at Long Term

We live in a digitised age, where we are used to instant-gratification, so we tend to expect results instantaneously. Investing on the other hand, does not happen that way, says Ken.

Quoting from Warren Buffet: ““No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.” In another interview with FFN, Ken also suggested that when it comes to value investing, one should look at yearly results instead of watching quarter-to-quarter results too closely.

When it comes to deciding whether a company is worth investing in, he highlighted two questions that investors need to ask themselves, which are: “Will this company still be around 10 years down the road?” and “Will it be more valuable 10 years down the road?” “I think if you cannot answer these two questions, looking at quarter-to-quarter results is not going to help,” he said.

3) Being Frugal

This advice may be especially applicable to youths who are looking to embark on their investment journey, but have limited money. “Develop a habit of saving, and don’t ever get yourself into debt,” advised Ken, who recalled living thriftily for many years. Back in his earlier years, he rode a second-hand bicycle to work and packed his own lunch in order to save money for investment. Even when he could afford a condominium as he became more well-to-do later on, he purchased a HDB flat instead.

“I think it’s important to use very minimal resources to invest in a good company and compound the earnings overtime,” said Ken. Connect with Ken in his coming Value Growth Workshop to know more about the right investing mentality and habits
