>Sleeping diet is dangerous
'睡美人減肥法'危害健康
If you're sleeping, you're not eating. That's basically the main idea behind the Sleeping Beauty Diet, an increasingly popular weight loss method that encourages people to take sedatives in order to sleep for up to 20 hours a day and skip meals. The most dangerous aspect of the Sleeping Beauty Diet is the use of sedatives to force the brain to sleep a lot more than it needs to. No matter how much you enjoy sleeping, it's unlikely that you can do it naturally for 20 hours out of 24, without the use of medication. This opens you up to all kinds of risks, from possible overdoses to addiction, which can be very hard to beat. If all you do is sleep, you become increasingly isolated and depression is likely to set in after a while. Depression also triggers disordered eating. It sounds like it would actually just push people more firmly into the vicious cycle that the eating disorder creates.
如果你在睡覺(jué)，你就不會(huì)進(jìn)食。這基本上就是越來(lái)越受歡迎的"睡美人減肥法"背后的主旨。這種減肥法鼓勵(lì)人們服用鎮(zhèn)靜劑，以達(dá)到一天最多睡20個(gè)小時(shí)而不用吃飯的目的。睡美人減肥法最危險(xiǎn)的地方就在于使用鎮(zhèn)靜劑，迫使大腦睡眠的時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)比其所需要的多得多。無(wú)論你有多么喜歡睡覺(jué)，你也不可能在未服藥的情況下，自然地睡上24小時(shí)中的20個(gè)小時(shí)。這使你可能面臨服藥過(guò)量、藥物上癮等各種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，一旦對(duì)藥上癮就很難戒掉。如果你成天都在睡覺(jué)，你就會(huì)變得越來(lái)越孤立，抑郁癥也會(huì)在不久后悄然到來(lái)。抑郁癥也會(huì)引發(fā)飲食失調(diào)。聽(tīng)起來(lái)這種療法真可能會(huì)把人更進(jìn)一步地推向飲食失調(diào)所造成的惡性循環(huán)中去。

>Ice cream that doesn't melt
日本發(fā)明'不化的冰淇淋'
Researchers at the Biotherapy Development Research Center in Kanazawa, Japan, have come up with a natural solution to the age-old problem of melting ice-cream. By using polyphenol found in strawberry, they can keep a popsicle from melting for hours on a hot summer day. "Polyphenol liquid has properties to make it difficult for water and oil to separate," Tomihisa Ota, a professor at Kanazawa University, who also helped develop the innovative treat, said. "So a popsicle containing it will be able to retain the original shape of the cream for a longer time than usual, and be hard to melt." The center started selling the wonder ice-cream at its Kanazawa Ice shop, in Kanazawa, before rolling out in Tokyo and Osaka.
日本金澤的生物療法開(kāi)發(fā)研究中心的研究人員發(fā)明出一種解決冰淇淋易化的老難題的純天然方法。他們利用在草莓中發(fā)現(xiàn)的多元酚使棒冰在炎炎夏日中放上幾個(gè)小時(shí)也不會(huì)融化。金澤大學(xué)的太田富久教授協(xié)助研發(fā)了這款創(chuàng)意食品。太田表示，多元酚液體具有讓水和油脂難以分離的特性。所以含有多元酚的棒冰就能比平常更久地維持奶油原本的形狀，且不易融化。該中心先在金澤的"金澤冰淇淋店"銷售這款神奇的冰淇淋，之后在東京和大阪推出。
