Life Is Art, Sharing Is Best
Caffeine in coffee, espresso and coke
By stlplace | March 16, 2008 | In New 更新, Health 健康 | No Comments | 2062 readsWhich one has the most caffeine? A tall (12 fl oz, or 355 ml) brewed coffee, a tall latte with one shot of espresso (both at Starbucks), and a can (12 fl oz) classic Coca Cola?
Your instant answer maybe the latte (espresso), but the correct answer is the brewed coffee. According to Starbucks www.starbucks.com/retail/HWE-014-NutriBro-2.pdf”>Nutrition By the Cup (PDF), 12 fl oz coffee has 240 mg caffeine, one shot espresso (1 fl oz) has 75 mg caffeine. As to Coke, I saw it says “caffeine content: 34mg per 12 fl oz”.
I don’t know what is the appropriate amount of caffeine a person could consume daily. My guess is one small cup a day should be ok for most people. I think it also depends on person’s health condition (weight, height, habbit of drinking). But just like many other things in life, moderation is the key. A cup of regular coffee will get one refreshed in the morning (it has caffeine equivalent to 7 cups of Coke). But when the initial effect of coffee goes away in a few hours, he/she will resort to another coffee. And so on. I think we can be more easily get caffeinated that way.

十个饮食习惯让你越活越年轻
By lifetips.us | May 12, 2007 | In Life 生活, Health 健康 | No Comments | 1427 reads1、清晨醒来时多吃食物
这是更快燃烧脂肪,至关重要的一个环节。早餐在饮食计划中,起着决定性的作用。人处于睡眠状态时,新陈代谢的速度会达到最低。随着清晨的苏醒,新陈代谢会逐渐回复正常水平。醒来后越快吃早餐,新陈代谢的速度就提高地越快。如果你是个晨练爱好者,运动前要保证吃一个香蕉,运动后再吃早餐。茶或咖啡不可代替早餐,燕麦片拌水果,或是一个熟鸡蛋和一碗粥、面包,都是早餐不错的选择。
2、来不及吃早餐别空手上班
如果你来不及吃早餐,应事先准备好一个粗面粉面包、一点水果(如香蕉)和一瓶酸奶带到办公室。一样,饿的时候,就能随手取到一份强力早餐,为工作及时“加油”。

减肥误区:剖析节食也不能变瘦的十大根源
By lifetips.us | May 1, 2007 | In Life 生活, Health 健康 | No Comments | 1102 readsQ10、少吃又变胖!怎么会这么倒楣?
发胖原因:有一餐没一餐,一有食物进入时,养分会更完全的被吸收。
出招:有一餐没一餐的饮食方式,会使身体弄不清楚正确的能量吸收时间,这个时候身体的自我保护机制就会被启动,结果会有两个情况发生:第一,一旦有食物能量进入时,身体就会大量的吸收以便储存及备用。第二,身体会自动将脂肪储存,反而先分解肌肉组织来提供能量。结果肌肉越来越少,使得脂肪比例变高,身材就越来越瘦不下来了!

给父母买短期医疗保险,fixed以及comprehensive coverage的比较

1。fixed以及comprehensive coverage的比较:
http://www.visitorscoverage.com/insurance/knowledge/visitorinsurance_plantype.htm
从以上的link看,有high risk的最好买comprehensive plan, 以防看病多,
自己要掏很多钱。这种plan, 一般premium要一个月$160-200。自己负责
交$250 的deductible以后,只需再交20%的co-pay,直到交了$1000.
再多的费用,insurance都包了。还有一个好处是,可以看in-network 的
PPO provider. 这些地方对自己的member会有更优惠的收费标准。 还有
一些和travel 有关的项目,也可能包。

Overcoming Procrastination
By fufu | March 8, 2007 | In New 更新, Health 健康 | 1 Comment | 1531 readsAuthor : Steve Pavlina, CEO, Dexterity Software
Procrastination, the habit of putting tasks off to the last possible minute,
can be a major problem in both your career and your personal life. Missed
opportunities, frenzied work hours, stress, overwhelm, resentment, and guilt
are just some of the symptoms. This article will explore the root causes of
procrastination and give you several practical tools to overcome it.
Replace “Have To” With “Want To”
First, thinking that you absolutely have to do something is a major reason for
procrastination. When you tell yourself that you have to do something, you’re
implying that you’re being forced to do it, so you’ll automatically feel a
sense of resentment and rebellion. Procrastination kicks in as a defense
mechanism to keep you away from this pain. If the task you are putting off has
a real deadline, then when the deadline gets very close, the sense of pain
associated with the task becomes overridden by the much greater sense of pain
if you don’t get started immediately.

关于怎样解决父母来美国的看病问题, 也困惑了我很久,,google有篇文章觉得特别有用。非常感激, 跟大家共享。

我们这些人身在美国,有很多时候希望/需要爸爸妈妈能在身边长住。但如果爸爸妈妈
年纪大了,身体不好了,是不敢在美国常住的,万一生起病来,看病不方便,就医费用
太高。
我们本身的保险,管孩子不管老人。父母在美国的法律里面,是独立人口,不能视为我
们的从属人口。
上周六妈妈突然尿血,匆忙之间带妈妈去看了医院的急诊,然后带妈妈去看了泌尿科专
家神医。一路看下来知道全无大碍。然后对怎么解决父母在美国就医有了些经验。
