食物讓你變聰明
Foods
That Make You Smarter
Blueberries
These delicious berries are one of the best
foods for you, period, but they’re very good for your brain as well. Since
they’re high in fiber and low on the glycemic index, they are safe for
diabetics and they do not spike blood sugar. Blueberries are possibly the best
brain food on earth: they have been linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer’s,
shown to improve learning ability and motor skills in rats, and they are one of
the most powerful anti-stress foods you can eat. Avoid: dried, sweetened
blueberries.
Green it: buy local and organic, and be
mindful of seasonality. When blueberries are out of season, opt for
cranberries, grapes, goji berries, blackberries or cherries to get your brain
boost.
Wild Salmon
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for your
brain . These beneficial fats are linked to improved cognition and alertness,
reduced risk of degenerative mental disease (such as dementia), improved
memory, improved mood, and reduced depression, anxiety and hyperactivity. Wild
salmon is a premium source, but we’ll highlight a few other sources on this
list for vegetarians and people who just don’t like salmon. Avoid farmed (read:
sea lice infested) salmon.
Seeds
Try sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax
seed, and tahini (a tangy, nutty sesame butter that tastes great in replacement
of mayo and salad dressing). Seeds contain a lot of protein, beneficial fat,
and vitamin E, as well as stress-fighting antioxidants and important
brain-boosting minerals like magnesium.
Beans
One more for carb-lovers. (The brain uses
about 20% of your carbohydrate intake and it likes a consistent supply.) Beans
are truly an amazing food that is sadly overlooked. They’re humble, but very
smart. Not only are they loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein,
they’re ridiculously cheap. An entire bag of beans usually costs only a few
dollars and will provide many meals. Beans provide a steady, slow release of
glucose to your brain – which means energy all day without the sugar crash.
Chocolate
Things are looking increasingly better for
chocolate. It’s got brain-boosting compounds, it’s loaded with antioxidants,
and it has just the right amount of caffeine. Chocolate sends your serotonin
through the roof, so you’ll feel happy in short order. Dark chocolate is also
rich in fiber. (Remember, fiber = healthy cardiovascular system = healthy brain
.)
Tuna
In addition to being another rich source of
Omega-3’s, tuna, particularly yellowfin, has the highest level of vitamin B6 of
any food. Studies have shown that B6 is directly linked to memory, cognition
and long term brain health. Generally, the B vitamins are among the most
important for balancing your mood. B6 in particular influences dopamine
receptors (dopamine is one of your "feel good" hormones along with
serotonin).
Garlic
Garlic – the fresher the better – is one of
the most potent nutritional weapons in your arsenal. Eat it as much as your
significant other can stand. Not only is it fabulous for reducing bad cholesterol
and strengthening your cardiovascular system, it exerts a protective
antioxidant effect on the brain. (alternet.org)

Playboy
Mansion
The Playboy Mansion (also known as the
Playboy Mansion West) is the home of Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner. In
Los Angeles, California, nearby Beverly Hills, the mansion became famous during
the 1970s through media reports of Hefner's lavish parties.
The mansion has 22 rooms including a wine
cellar, a game room, a zoo and aviary (and related pet cemetery), tennis
courts, a waterfall and a swimming pool area (including a patio and barbecue
area, a grotto, a sauna and a bathhouse). These features and others have been
shown on television.
The game room (game house) is a separate
building on the north side. From the fountain in front of the main entrance,
there are two sidewalks, running past a wishing-well. That on the right leads
to the game house and runs past a Hollywood Star of Hefner. Its front entrance
opens to a game room with a pool table in the center. This room has vintage and
modern arcade games, pinball machines, player piano, jukebox, television,
stereo, and couch. The game house has two wings. Left is a room with a soft
cushioned floor, mirrors all around, television. There is a restroom with a
shower. The right wing of the game house has a smaller restroom, and entrance
to a bedroom. This bedroom is connected to another, which has an exit to the
rear backyard of the game house. The game house has a backyard with lounge
chairs, and gates on either side. (Wikipedia)

宋是連留美同學 指連去過海夫納豪宅
〔自由時報記者張文川、郭安家／台北報導〕國民黨台北市長參選人連勝文，不滿資深媒體人周玉蔻說他在美國求學期間曾參加花花公子派對，控告她侵害名譽、求償五百萬元並登報道歉；台北地院昨傳喚連勝文的哥倫比亞大學碩士班同學、律師宋耀明作證，宋耀明說，周玉蔻今年初曾致電詢問此事，他告訴周「連勝文當時有一陣子沒來上課，回來後說朋友帶他去Playboy Mansion（花花公子創辦人海夫納所住豪宅）」。
連陣營否認去過派對 反嗆宋惡意指控
連勝文競選團隊發言人錢震宇昨天回應說，連勝文沒去過Playboy兔女郎派對，更沒去Playboy Mansion；這是很嚴重的惡意指控，且宋耀明說不出細節，提不出證據，錢震宇強調，連勝文與宋耀明於國外認識，近廿年也只在公眾場合見面三次，最後一次見面還是七、八年前；「不熟的人說的話，可信嗎？」
宋耀明曾任檢察官、法務部辦事，是馬英九台北市長特別費案的辯護律師。宋說，八十二至八十三年他取得公費赴紐約哥大法學院攻讀碩士，與輔仁大學剛畢業的連勝文是同班同學，因他有法務部指定的課程要修，很少與連勝文修同門課，交情不深，但法學院是獨立大樓，學生下課常在走廊、咖啡店相遇，且當時全院只有四名台灣學生，所以碰面都會打招呼。
宋：連曾邀我參觀所住的川普大樓
宋耀明說，連勝文曾邀他參觀所住的川普大樓，當時他（宋）住曼哈頓上城的國際學舍，每月租金就要一千美元（約三萬元新台幣），「連勝文大學才剛畢業，父親任公職，竟然住得起川普，這令我十分震撼」。
宋耀明表示，印象中有一陣子沒遇到連勝文，再次見面時，他寒暄問「怎麼這麼久沒來上課？」連回說「我去了加州，台灣的朋友帶我去Playboy Mansion」；宋說「當時我心裡想，要不是因為連的身分，誰會這樣巴結他？」
宋耀明說，因和連勝文沒交情，所以沒追問細節，「或許是他吹牛也不一定」；不過宋強調，去參加兔女郎派對，並沒有負面的道德評價，此事會令他印象如此深刻，是因連當時的身分、經歷，「連勝文會被邀去參加，我想應和他的身分有關」。
宋耀明說，前幾年連勝文在當國民黨中常委、青年軍等黨職時，他和一位跑司法的媒體好友談天，認為「國民黨不應該栽培像連勝文這樣的人」，並說出上述在美國的事；今年初，素不相識的周玉蔻打電話問他此事，他又跟周玉蔻講了一遍。
周玉蔻也反控連勝文刑事誹謗罪，現由台北地檢署偵辦中，宋日前也已赴北檢作證。
