排汗與排尿的差別

德國體育醫學龍頭艾倫斯特(譯音)博士發現，所有運動選手當中，唯獨馬拉松選手沒有罹患癌症的病例。

因此艾倫斯特博士為了找出不得癌症的原因，不斷的研究，結果發現了一項驚人的事實。

艾倫斯特博士採集了每天跑步30公里以上的馬拉松選手的汗水，分析其汗水的成份，結果發現汗水中含有鎘、鉛、銅、鎳等之重金屬物質。

艾倫斯特博士下的結論是「每天跑30公里以上的馬拉松手，自體內深處排出大量汗水的同時，亦將體內累積的致癌成份〝重金屬〞排出體外，徹底去除癌症的根源，因此馬拉松選手是不會得癌症。」

根據以上的研究結論，艾倫斯特博士發表了「以排汗的方式，徹底去除體內的累積物，可預防癌症」的研究報告，艾倫斯特博士強調的

「想要健康長壽，就要一天一次大量排汗。」這句話是絕對值得信賴的。

【出汗能夠排泄體內有害物質！】

對身體而言，為何出汗特別重要呢？

排泄體內不需要物質功能，就是排便、排尿與出汗的。其中， 汗具有排泄體內疲勞物質或對人體有害的重金屬、毒素的重要作用。

雖然尿也會排出重金屬，但是排出功能卻遠不及汗。亦即藉由汗，能夠排出大量的重金屬。

汗也具有調節體溫的重要作用。

全身健康的出汗，就能夠強化現代最欠缺的體溫調節功能與自律神經。

汗從體表氣化，令人得到爽快感，對精神也有很大的幫助。藉著氣化熱消耗熱量，能夠提升代謝力，減少體脂肪，有助於消除肥胖。

對身體而言具有重要作用的汗，不會對身體造成負擔，全身出汗，就能夠強化自律神經，提升代謝力，排出老舊廢物與毒素，對於美容與健康都有幫助。

汗與尿中的重金屬元素量(100克中)

鉛(μg)：汗84、尿4.9

鎘(μg)：汗6.5、尿0.65

鈷(μg)：汗1.2、尿0.6

鎳(μg)：汗32、尿3.1

銅(mg)：汗0.11、尿0.01

Where’s my mortgage?

Will Bank Negara’s recent loan regulations herald a local credit crunch and bursting of the bubble?

These are interesting times, said a property consultant over lunch recently. The pumping of liquidity by the US, UK, Europe and Japan into their economies, and by extension into the world, by the trillions of dollars, has been on an unprecedented scale. It’s like being part of a mass global experiment, the results of which we’re not quite sure, but will surely be of massive consequences.

So far, quantitative easing seems to have worked. The US is showing positive figures and we have not seen the collapse of capitalism. The “we are the 99%”-ers have not taken over from the purported 1% Illuminati controlling the world’s wealth and economy. Nor has the US fallen off a fiscal cliff.

The Occupy movement still continues but seems to have lost momentum

In Malaysia, we have smugly ridden out the turmoils. While the property market has frozen for several years in the UK, banks still push you credit cards here (I just picked up a cool suitcase, Ikea freebies and travel miles upon approval) and people don’t think twice about eating out on RM50 per person.

In terms of property, launches have been aplenty, and panel bankers line up to serve you. Prices in some places have doubled since 2008 and we can even now take over parts of London… Malaysia boleh!

What, me worry?

If you were to read Bank Negara’s latest Financial Stability and Payment Systems Report 2012, everything sounds hunky dory. The percentage of impaired (or non-performing) loans dropped last year to 1.5% for household loans, down from 1.8% in 2011 and 2.3% in 2010.

“Indicators of aggregate household resilience are sound with total and liquid household financial buffers remaining stable,” goes the report. “More importantly, indicators in the banking sector continue to support the sound overall credit quality of household loans from the banking system.”

All very controlled and dependable, just like our iron banking lady, Tan Sri Zeti Aziz, it seems.

Special advisor to Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) Dr Lim Mah Hui (left) and CAP president S.M. Mohamed Idris showing charts on the comparison of household debt and disposable income as well as the debt service ratio in Malaysia.

Yes, Bank Negara may have lost a bit of cool recently by admitting that profligate loans have encouraged households to accumulate excessive debt. Housing, car, credit card and personal loans have increased “at a strong pace”–12% per year over the last few years–and now represents 81% of our national income.

This is risky because if interest rates rise and the economy falters, people will lose jobs and find it difficult to pay their debts; banks then would be out of money which they owe to deposit holders or other banks.

To counter this, Bank Negara recently announced it would limit mortgage tenures to 35 years. It may also curb developer interest-bearing schemes (DIBS)–where property builders pay for buyers’ loan interests during construction. Luckily, all these are calculated moves to slow down rather than crash a vibrant property market, aren’t they?

Over the last couple of weeks, however, we’ve been hearing phrases which would not normally be mentioned crop up: bad words like “interest rates increase”, “capital flight”, and “price correction”. Do we possibly see the tide turning?

Interest rates won’t rise, or will they?

Bernanke testified in Capitol Hill recently that there is a risk that Congressional fiscal policy “will restrain economic growth over the next few quarters by more than we currently expect.”

Economy watchers have for some time placed any increase in interest rates beyond the immediate future, next year at the earliest.

Low interest rates have provided cheap and easy credit and mortgages in Malaysia have grown steadily. Last year, more than half of all household loans–56%–were for buying properties, said Bank Negara’s report. The proportion of them taking multiple loans, furthermore, had risen, “signaling a resumption in demand for housing credit for investment purposes”.

After all, advertisements tout property as a means of achieving wealth and financial freedom. Gurus tell you that if you stretch your loans out, your monthly instalments will come out lower than your rentals (“positive cash flow”), and with enough properties, you may even quit your job!

Recently however, US Federal Reserve chief, Ben Bernanke (the American Tan Sri Zeti) indicated that it might begin tapering off quantitative easing as long as labour markets continue to improve. Although he’s qualified this in several aspects, US interest rates have risen in response, making the dollar and US assets possibly attractive propositions again. Many thus anticipate funds, which had flowed into emerging markets during the financial crisis, to flow back to the US and Europe again.

Manulife Asset Management Services Bhd chief investment officer Jason Chong indeed hinted that there may be a possible mass-exit of foreign investors from the Malaysian bond, money or equity markets.

To stem this capital flight, and also to protect attendant currency falls, India and Indonesia have increased interest rates up to 2%. Bank of Canada has also said that it would “gradually normalize” borrowing costs over time as the slack in the economy disappears and inflation picks up. Brazil, meanwhile, increased rates 0.5% to battle inflation. Here in Malaysia, Standard Chartered made the recent, bold prediction that rates might increase by 0.25% as early as November.

What would be its impact? For me, it means an increase in monthly instalments of RM100 per month. Imagine if I had three mortgages and my instalments went up on all of them? If I were a professional landlord, I could now be cash flow negative with my dreams of financial freedom soured.

Another development to tighten funds would be the Basel III reforms, which require the world’s banks to have enough cash in their vaults and not to lend out too much, to avoid further banking failures. Bank Negara is confident that our banks would have no problem meeting the requirements by 2018, but it would surely mean a constraint on lending.

Already, word on the ground from property sales people goes that some banks are starting to approve only 80% loans for those already servicing another residential property loan.

Potential correction

The figures show noticeable spikes in the Malaysian House Price Index and Index of Units Launched by Price for properties priced above RM1mil from late 2010.

Investors have also started talking about a “potential correction” in the property market, that runaway property prices indicate the top of a property cycle.

“There are risks faced by Malaysian banks in relation to high household debt and a potential correction in the country’s property market, but we think there is a low likelihood of these risks playing out in the next 12 to 18 months,” said credit ratings firm Moody’s in Singapore recently.

The property life cycle, as drawn out by real estate blogger AgentDiary, postulates that Malaysia is at the top of the cycle, with characteristics including transaction price peak and the “property price never drops” rhetoric.

You wouldn’t have known it from the primary market. YTL Land & Development Bhd’s preview of its Fennel project in Sentul East, priced at RM700 per sq ft, sold out two blocks within two days.

Low Yat Group’s Tribeca project on Jalan Imbi has managed to sell at prices ranging from RM1,800 to RM2,400 per sq ft to mainly foreign buyers.

Even at stratospheric prices between RM1,800 to RM2,400 per sq ft, Low Yat Group sold almost half its apartments in its Tribeca project on Jalan Imbi. Arcoris Mont’Kiara by UEM Sunrise Bhd, meanwhile, managed to chart about 90% of sales before its show units debuted to the public. The majority of Tribeca’s units were sold to foreign buyers, from the likes of Indonesia, China and Taiwan, however, while Arcoris’ developers gave significant rebates as sales incentives.

Arcoris Mont’Kiara has seen nearly complete take-up, as packaged with significant incentives.

Property investor Michael Tan reckons that if there were to be a bubble bursting, it could happen within the next couple of years, when many projects bought during the 2010 to 2012 property bull run are completed: “Many were sold on DIBS, so buyers didn’t fork out any cash until completion, not to mention all the attractive rebates. But when the properties come on stream, many will be looking to flip or rent out, and that will be the first test: whether they can find buyers or tenants.”

In terms of housing affordability, the ratio of average house prices in Malaysia, in relation to household income, comes in at about four. In rapidly emerging markets, this is still acceptable, noted valuer Elvin Fernandez has said. However, the figure rises to six, seven or even eight in certain areas of the country, he adds, and this is similar to the ratios that were seen in American houses prices “before they crashed down towards the figure of three during the sub-prime crisis, and three is some kind of gravitational pull for house prices”.

A return to Danaharta?

Mitraland Group chairman Dato’ Johan Ariffin (left) and group CEO Chuah Theong Yee believe that regulation of the property market will benefit the industry in the long run.

Datuk Johan Ariffin, previous senior GM for Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Bhd’s property division, and now chairman of property developer Mitraland Sdn Bhd, doesn’t believe there will be a return to the last Asian Financial Crisis however. So many loans defaulted then that the government formed Danaharta to buy them out from cash-poor banks.

“No, it’s a different landscape today,” says Johan who also sits on the board of Maybank and Sime Darby Properties. “Then, it was a currency thing, many people had overgeared and businesses had borrowed too much. Today, our banks are much stronger, they have been recapitalised and are very well run compared to 12 years ago. It would take a lot for something to affect the whole system.”

One thing’s for sure, restrictions cool buyer sentiments, such as when the 70% loan cap for the third home and net income rule were announced in 2010 and last year, respectively.

Bank Negara’s regulations may dampen sales but they will weed out speculators, says Dato’ Johan Ariffin, chairman of Mitraland Group which develops projects such as 16 Quartz in Taman Melawati, pictured.

“While it may have taken us three months to hit 60% sales in the past, today it takes us six months to do it, because your buyers come, they are interested but they can’t qualify for a loan then you have to find new buyers,” says Johan.

This means that developers must have enough funds to tie them over a delay in sales. “In our cash flow planning, we already anticipate and make provision for a longer initial sales period. This just means less speculators and more genuine buyers.”

So is everything really under control then, as Bank Negara intimates? Are we just having a controlled slowdown rather than a crash? As a property watcher said over breakfast, you never know. Just like in the late ‘90s, the Asian Financial Crisis took most of us by surprise. We are living in one of history’s largest financial experiments, though, and whether Malaysian property sees a harsh or soft ride towards fundamental values will surely be affected by its outcome… Watch this space.

Base on this article MIEA: No threat of property bubble mention by our "rich" Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) president Siva Shanker.

“We are expecting a nice steady growth of 10% maybe 12% or 13% if we are lucky. The growth won’t echo the phenomenal growth of about 30% like we did previously,” Siva said in a Property Market Outlook: Post GE13 briefing yesterday." so... there's the words "if we are lucky" we (citizen) are the unlucky one as usual~~~ They are asking the estate agents. I'd always say my flowers smell nice when I'm a Florist.

Could your daily vitamin pills take years off your life? They're taken by thousands to boost their health but recent studies have found some supplements could do more harm than good

• Fish oil capsules have been linked to high levels of prostate cancer
• In another study, high dosages of vitamin C led to kidney stones
• Vitamin E supplement takers developed heart failure
• Better off getting vitamins by eating healthy diet 

Are supplements a quick health fix or can vitamins actually be bad for you?

Vitamin pills are big business - from chewable ones for children and tablets especially tailored for women going through the menopause to essential oils for dodgy joints and high-dose vitamin C to pep up your immune system, there’s a supplement for everyone.

But can vitamins actually be bad for your health?

It seems that your daily pill can do more harm than good. Indeed, last week saw the revelation that fish oil capsules have been linked to high levels of prostate cancer - a shock for the millions who take fish oils or omega-3 fatty acids every day in the quest to ease joint pain, improve heart health and fight mental decline.

A study of more than 2,000 men found that those with the highest levels of omega-3 in their blood were 71 per cent more likely to develop the most lethal form of prostate cancer, and 44 per cent more likely to develop low-grade prostate cancer.

And it’s not just omega-3 that is under scrutiny. According to Dr Alan Kristal, who led the study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, there is surprisingly little evidence that any vitamin or mineral pills prevent disease - unless people are suffering from a nutrient deficiency.

‘As we do more and more of these studies, we find high doses of supplements have no effect or increase the risk of the disease you are trying to prevent,’ he says. Yet millions of busy Britons take vitamins to compensate for a poor diet.

One in three of us takes a supplement, and we spend about £209 million a year on vitamin pills. The message last week from experts was not to panic.

For most people, taking multivitamin and mineral supplements at the recommended dose is safe.

So amid all this confusing and sometimes contradictory advice, which supplements work and, more importantly, which ones are safe?

MULTIVITAMINS

Big business: One in three of us takes a supplement - but is it worth it?

While they might be the most wide-ranging supplement in the UK - providing 100 per cent of our daily allowance of everything from vitamin B to copper - there is little evidence that they do any good.

In 2010, French researchers followed 8,000 volunteers who had taken either a multivitamin or a dummy placebo pill for six years.

They found that those who popped the vitamin pill were just as likely to suffer heart disease or cancer as those taking the placebo.

That work followed a 2008 major review of 67 studies - involving 230,000 people - which found no evidence that multivitamins prolonged life.

Some studies have even suggested that high doses could do more harm than good.

In 2011, the Iowa Women’s Health Study looked at the health of more than 38,000 older women and found that women who regularly took multivitamins were 2.4  per cent more likely to die over the 19 years of the study.

Their research also showed that use of vitamin B6 increased the risk of death during the study by 4.1 per cent, folic acid by 5.9 per cent, iron by 3.9 per cent, magnesium by 3.6 per cent, zinc by 3 per cent and copper by 18 per cent.

However, the study didn’t take into account the fact that many people start taking heavy doses of vitamins only when they develop serious diseases such as cancer.

But Dr Kristal says: ‘Dozens of studies of multivitamins show that they do absolutely nothing at the recommended doses.’

So if your diet contains plenty of fresh food and your five-a-day, it’s unlikely a multivitamin pill is essential.

VITAMIN C

Doctors have known since the 1750s, when British sailors were first issued with limes, that vitamin C is essential for health. It helps to heal wounds, strengthens the body’s connective tissues and keeps cells healthy.

But despite the many health claims made about vitamin C, there is little evidence that it does much good as a supplement.

While it does appear to shorten the duration of colds, there is little real proof that it staves off illness, Dr Kristal says.

And the high doses recommended by some supporters of alternative medicine may do more harm than good.

In February, an 11-year study of more than 23,000 men found that those who took high doses of the supplement - typically 1,000 mg - were twice as likely to develop kidney stones compared to men who took no pills.

A 2002 study showed that 1g doses of vitamin  C and vitamin E almost trebled the risk of premature death among postmenopausal women in any year.

The Department of Health says adults need 40 mg a day but doses up to 1,000 mg a day are unlikely to cause harm. Anyone worried about their intake should decide whether they are exceeding their safe daily dose.

'For example, the effervescent vitamin drink Berocca contains 476 mg. Two doses would take you close the recommended limit.'

VITAMIN E

Found in nuts, germs, wheat and oils, vitamin E is vital for healthy cells. According to the Department of Health, most adults need between 3 mg and 4 mg a day.

Brain boost
Vitamin B supplements can help stave off Alzheimer's disease because they reduce brain shrinkage, claims a study by Oxford University

Studies have shown that foods rich in vitamin E may protect against heart disease. But there is little evidence that vitamin E pills do the same - and some that say they may do harm.

In 2011, U.S. researchers at Cleveland Clinic found that men who took a ‘high strength’ 268 mg vitamin E pill each day during the seven year study were 17 per cent more likely to develop prostate cancer than men who did not take the supplement.

And, in 2005, a seven-year study of 4,000 people found it increased the risk of heart failure by 13 per cent.

While the Department of Health says taking 540 mg or less a day is unlikely to do harm, the prostate cancer study published by Dr Kristal also looked at the effect of daily 400 mg vitamin E doses.

Dr Kristal says: ‘It increased the risk of prostate cancer by 17 per cent. We don’t know why. But one thing to remember is that, unlike vitamin C, it is soluble in fat and so levels build up in the body over time.’

Experts say that one egg or 28 g of almonds a day should provide all the vitamin E you need - making it unlikely that any of us need a supplement.

Enough: A glass of milk and a yoghurt meets our daily calcium limit

CALCIUM

Calcium is often taken by middle-aged and older people to protect their bones. There is also evidence that it can prevent the recurrence of bowel polyps - growths that may develop into cancer.

However, calcium supplements could increase the risk of heart disease in men, according to a study in February from the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

A study of 388,000 people found that men who took more than 1,000 mg, or 1 g, a day in supplements were at greater risk of heart problems - and had a 20 per cent higher risk of death.

Women were not at greater risk, the Journal of the American Medical Association found. Scientists believe that high calcium levels harden the arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The Food Standards Agency recommends adults have 700 mg of calcium a day. One yoghurt and a 300 ml glass of milk would meet your daily calcium limit, so it’s unlikely you would need a supplement.

SELENIUM

Selenium is a trace mineral found in seafood, meat and grains. It is essential in small doses and selenium deficiency is linked to mental decline, impaired immune systems and premature death.

But although it is commonly recommended to help prevent heart disease, too much can be harmful. The Department of Health says men need 0.075 mg a day, and women 0.06mg, in their diet. But after looking at data from 20,000 adults, Warwick Medical School researchers found that it did little to lower the incidence of heart disease in people with a good diet.

High doses were linked to type 2 diabetes, the authors reported in the Cochrane Library journal.

BETA CAROTENE

Beta carotene is a pigment that gives yellow and orange plants colour. The body converts beta carotene to vitamin A, which we need for good vision, healthy skin and a strong immune system.

Beta carotene is a natural antioxidant and is usually taken to prevent cancer. But there is no evidence it works, and plenty to show that high doses can be harmful.

In 1994, researchers found that smokers who regularly took a large 20 mg dose of beta carotene a day were 8 per cent more likely to die from lung cancer than people who did not take the supplement.

As well as all this, beta carotene can also give white skin an orange tint, and can trigger upset stomachs, joint pain and dizziness.

使用類固醇 健身變賤身 副作用嚴重 得不償失

《十分專題》部落格：http：//series888.blogspot.com

“大只佬”光著上身，六塊腹肌、八塊腹肌、人魚線一露，男生羡慕，女生“垂涎三尺”！

但是，在這些“大只佬”風光背后，有不少人可能是依靠類固醇（Steroid），即打針或吃藥“催谷”出來，其后遺症可能是引發腎、肝、皮膚問題，甚至可能造成死亡！

健身靠自己，不是靠類固醇，聽聽資深健身教練授招，指點健身人士適當的健身方法！

馬來報載，一名擁有豐富健身經驗專業培訓顧問阿末扎基指出，我國越來越多年輕人，為了維持樣貌和肌肉美感而使用類固醇，嚴重威脅自身健康。

健身運動鍛煉身體，讓人擁有健康體魄，但為何一些健身人士，尤其是年輕一代，卻要使用類固醇產品呢？

“他們是要滿足自己。現在很多年輕人，看到身旁朋友肌肉迅速變大塊，自己也想這樣。”本地資深健身教練兼健身中心股東鐘國威指出，當年輕人發現使用類固醇，能比食用健身奶粉（Protein）更快達到效果，就會選擇前者。

一般上，健身人士除了進行肌肉訓練，都會配合教練指示，服食健身奶粉或輔助品，讓身體肌肉吸收蛋白質，增大肌肉和力量。

成績胥視體質

鐘國威指出，想在短時間內增大肌肉的人，可能就會考慮使用類固醇，其效果與只吃健身奶粉者，有極大的分別，“類固醇可增加力量，其次是體力恢復很快，做了一套健身訓練后，還有力氣做第二套訓練。”

一般人完成一套健身訓練，因為過于疲累，需要休息一段時間，才能繼續另一套訓練；但是，類固醇服用者大多數不需要休息，可以繼續健身。

“開始健身后，3至6個月可以看到成績，有些人需要8個月至一年，視各人體質而異。至于使用類固醇，可能三個月內或更短時間，就可以看到身形和肌肉完全不同。”鐘國威坦言，時間越久，就越能看到使用類固醇和健身奶粉的差別。

每個人體質不同，因此使用類固醇者，其副作用也先后有別，有人可能5年內就出現症狀，也有人可能二、三十年后才發病。

鐘國威舉出一個例子。一名30多歲的健身中心老闆，未健身前，身材瘦削，后來可能使用類固醇，突然肌肉暴長，前后判若兩人。

享受健身過程

雖然，這名老闆是健身人士，按理說應該精神健旺，但鐘國威每次見到他，都是一副昏昏欲睡的模樣，而且脾氣也很暴躁，同時也有嚴重皮膚問題。

“健身者要問自己：你想得到什么？你不只是要增大肌肉，而是要健康。許多人身體有狀況，練習健身后有所改善，就不用看太多醫生。”他說。

對于年輕一代健身者，他苦口婆心地勸告：健身結合飲食、訓練和睡眠，再輔以健身奶粉，一樣能到看到成績！

雖然，健身者不使用類固醇，需要付出比服用類固醇更長的時間，才能達到出色的健身效果，重要的是，懂得珍惜和享受這個過程，並且從中找到健康！

為了競賽使用禁藥

類固醇共分為數種，目前健身人士使用人工開發的合成代謝類固醇（Anabolic Steroids，也稱蛋白同化雄性激素類固醇，Anabolic Androgenic Steroids），作用與睪丸激素相似，它與用作醫療用途的皮質類固醇（Cortico steroids）相反，前者具有極大的副作用。

長期使用代謝類固醇，可能使男性睪丸小、性欲萎縮、骨質疏鬆，而且或會患上心血管疾病和癌症。

健身運動圈子中，使用類固醇的人，都知道其副作用，但還是有不少人為了比賽或炫耀肌肉，選擇使用類固醇。

“一些人參加健美比賽，如果沒有吃類固醇，可能是自己騙自己。”鐘國威感嘆地說。

部分參加健身比賽的健美運動員，為了長期與其他選手競爭，保持超大美肌，使用類固醇成唯一途徑。

在體育界，類固醇屬于其中一種興奮劑（Stimulant Drugs），禁止運動員使用。

鐘國威認為，健身運動員可能在比賽半年前停止使用，這樣才能通過藥檢，以保住參賽資格。

林忠寶：勤鍛煉不打針吃藥

31歲的林忠寶，一年半前開始健身，現在身材健壯，手臂結實的肌肉線條，令人不禁多看幾眼。

他能練到這樣的成績，歸功于一星期三天勤力鍛煉，配合教練指導食用健身奶粉，“還有，教練教得好。”

其實，當他想健身時，家人有一些意見，擔心他不是高個子，一練下去，變成滿身肌肉的“大只佬”，體型會不協調。

簡單的說，家人擔心他使用類固醇，練得一身壯碩肌肉，變得很難看。

從一開始，林忠寶就不把打針和吃藥（使用類固醇）考慮在內，他想要健康的身體，以及穿上衣服時，看上來很好看，就非常滿足了，因此最終還是加入健身行列。

目前，他已從清瘦體型，變成63公斤的壯男，未來繼續依照他的體型標準，即68公斤的重量努力，讓身材更加健碩。

傳授同好健身經驗

在Body & Fitness健身中心，Max（鐘國威）工作可忙得很，他是股東之一，也是資深健身教練，需要指導不同健身者，規劃和調整學員的練習進度。

　談到健身原由時，原來與他朋友的“胸”有關；當然，對方是一名男生。

　當時年僅17歲的他，對于朋友為何能有大胸膛，感到非常好奇，后來得知對方常在家中練習伏地挺身，于是他也開始練了起來。

　不久之后，他發覺這已不能滿足他的要求，由于當時健身中心費用較高，他只能到一間高級公寓的健身室，每月付了七、八十令吉，操練自己的身體。

　后來，一些健身朋友告訴他，健身最終要到健身中心，才能真正達到目的，他就向家人商量分擔健身費用，開始了真正健身生涯。

　累積了健身經驗后，他選擇成為健身教練，現在又與友人張秀瓊合開健身中心，一面健身一面當教練，又能當成是事業，可謂一舉三得。

按部就班勿求速成

年輕人愛“玩Gym”（健身），但幾歲開始才適合呢？

鐘國威指出，歐美國家的標準是15歲就可以開始健身，他建議大馬人開始健身的年齡，可介于15歲至18歲之間。

健身是長期的運動，需要持續不斷訓練，他說：“健身可以練到70歲都沒問題，因為是長期計劃，屬于比較安全的運動，反之，打羽毛球、踢球都有一定的危險。”

對他來說，健身需要耐心，配以系統訓練、良好飲食習慣、適當睡眠，以及根據教練的指示食用健身奶粉，就能使肌肉發達，身體越來越健康。　　

健身需要一步一步來，服食類固醇以求快速見效，副作用堪虞，因此，鐘國威語重心長地說：“健身，吃健康奶粉就足夠了。”

健身奶粉依指示吃

鐘國威表示，健身奶粉需要依照個人體質，以及訓練量食用，不能過量，也不要太少。

“如果訓練量大，健身者體型也大，就要吃多一些健身奶粉，如體型一般或較小，吃得剛好就好。”


他指出，由于健身奶粉提供身體蛋白質，如果攝取過多，腎臟無法排出多余蛋白質，或會影響身體。

成也類固醇，敗也類固醇！ 使用類固醇能在短期內增加肌肉和力量，除了吸引不少健身者使用，一些需要大量體力的運動項目，也捲入類固醇漩渦中。
這些運動員可能在某段期間取得良好表現，但當類固醇的副作用發作，他們就要承受苦果！

近期，類固醇話題發酵，我國體育界官方人士，相繼承認類固醇影響某些體育項目，我國已不能再小覷它，帶給國家和運動員的副作用。

青年與體育部部長凱里指出，一些健身者坦承使用類固醇，尤其是年輕人，因此，他希望年輕一代遠離類固醇，並且不要受到朋友影響，使用違法藥物。

國家體育學院總執行長拿督藍蘭阿茲醫生表示，運動項目中，健美、舉重和田徑都有濫用類固醇的歷史紀錄。

相較歐美國家，我國運動員濫用類固醇情況，或還有所不及，但如果不做好防範工作，一旦情況加劇，就難以收拾殘局。　

張子豪曾是自由搏擊國家代表，他表示，不管是國內比賽或世界賽，他都沒有經過藥檢，因此他相信，即使有拳手使用類固醇，也難以予以證實。

引發骨質疏鬆

自由搏擊講求力道和腳骨硬度，平時訓練量和比賽，都需要大量體能，以致一些自由搏擊運動員悄悄使用類固醇。

“其實是有人使用類固醇。類固醇的存在，對拳手很危險，會讓骨頭異常脆弱，這個副作用威脅著拳手。”他說。

自由搏擊可混合使用各種拳術，包括泰拳、散打、跆拳道等，手腳攻防激裂，最后給予對手致命一擊，骨頭稍為脆弱一些，容易遭擊傷。

如果自由搏擊拳手使用類固醇，引發骨質疏鬆，在場上與對手硬碰硬時，可能造成難以想像的骨折，影響自身運動生涯。

張子豪表示，他通過比賽影片，看到一些外國自由搏擊選手，出現不可思議的骨折情況，極有可能是使用類固醇所致。

泰拳是自由搏擊運動主要拳術之一，因此選手練就強硬腳骨，並不容易折斷；格鬥時，即使腳部受傷，最嚴重是一支骨頭斷裂，輕則脫臼，但是，現實中確有自由搏擊運動員的兩支腳骨斷折，腳部因此彎向另一個方向。

使用前宜三思

對于這種情況，張子豪忍不住大呼：“這太誇張了，非常恐怖，很大可能就是使用了類固醇。”

上述這種情況，或因有關自由搏擊運動員，大量使用濃縮的類固醇，造成骨質疏鬆情況嚴重，骨頭承受不住衝擊。

此外，也有一些人以控制劑量方式，使用類固醇增加肌肉和力量，或不會讓骨頭如此不堪一擊。

“但是，即使只是一點點藥量，它還是會進入身體！”張子豪認為，拳手最好不要使用類固醇，其副作用是拳手禁忌。

他表示，類固醇是一種男性賀爾蒙濃縮后的劑量，使用者的身體，突然得到過量激素，雖然可增加肌肉線條，人體或難以負荷這些超量賀爾蒙，因此使用前應三思。

健身、打拳，或是做任何需要大量體能的運動，與其使用類固醇，不如花時間鍛煉；如果不想付出時間，那就承認事實，否則日后出現副作用，只能悔不當初。

濫用類固醇常見征狀

一般使用類固醇者，大多數不會對外承認，但濫用類固醇后，胸腹可能出現以下征狀：
　●突然肌肉發達（短期內，約三個月內或更短時間）；
　●大量使用類個醇者，乳頭可能較凸出或較長；
　●肌肉形狀帶圓，胸肌形狀比較尖；未使用類固醇者，多數是四方形。
　●長時間鍛煉的肌肉非常結實，沒有多余脂肪，使用類固醇者，肌肉不是精瘦，而是帶有一點脂肪。　
　★服食健身奶粉（Protein）只是吸取其蛋白質，以增加肌肉，但不會出現上述特征。

張家輝變肌肉男非用禁藥

港星張家輝新電影《激戰》“肌肉男”造型曝光后，引起一片嘩然，互聯網上不少人紛紛討論，他是否有使用類固醇？

張子豪認為，對比張家輝現有胸腹肌肉外觀，以及過去十多年間的照片，張家輝的肌肉屬于真材實料！

“有人突然變大只，多少都會被懷疑使用類固醇。但看張家輝，他2000年時，肌肉沒有線條，2007年左右開始有線條，兩三年前已有胸腹肌，今年變得清瘦和結實。”因此，他認為張家輝使用類固醇的幾率低。

呂明錩：寧要健康不要打針

29歲的呂明錩，2010年開始健身，當時身體較胖，做起工來沒精神，感覺比較辛苦，于是就健身做運動，找回自己的健康。

他知道有人健身的目的，要讓身材變得健美，因此選擇打針或吃藥（使用類固醇），但他認為這對自己不好，因為他健身的目的，就僅是希望擁有健康體魄。

“我是要找回健康，身材美不美，沒關係。”他非常清楚自己健身目的，而且其教練也不認同使用類固醇。

由于一些事情，他曾停止健身半年，但並沒有放棄運動，依然堅持以跑步代替，現在回到健身中心健身，並不要求找回自己的肌肉線條，一切以健康為前提。

王明強： 朋友打針健美悔不當初

王明強今年30歲，健身已有4年時間，人變得精神奕奕，健碩的身材也使他穿衣更好看，增添不少信心。

“我以前很瘦，現在重了11至12公斤。我有吃健身奶粉，開始只吃一種，之后再配合增加，它對肌肉有很大幫助。”他表示，練至6至9個月后，已能看到一些成績。

雖然身材不俗，但他沒有想過參加健身比賽，在他的印象中，以前健身比賽，沒有太多人使用類固醇，但現在則成了趨勢，可能10個人中，就有9個打針或吃藥。

對于使用類固醇，他敬而遠之，因為在朋友身上，看到了類固醇的副作用。

“朋友打針幾年后，胸部靠近乳頭處生出腫瘤，醫生說是打了類固醇的關係，之后開刀割除。”他指出，他的朋友告戒他，千萬別使用類固醇，以免后悔莫及。

他發現，現在一些年輕人健身，因對健身效果不滿足，就會使用類固醇，另一些可能是朋友之間互相炫耀肌肉，或是鐵杆健身迷，一旦經健身中心或朋友介紹，就加入使用類固醇行列。

類固醇加速肌肉修复

使用類固可使肌肉變得龐大，其關鍵在于肌肉增大速度！

健身者健身時，肌肉纖維出現非常細微的撕裂，人體細胞和蛋白質就會修補這些纖維，肌肉就越來越強壯。

人體自然修復肌肉大約需要48個小時，但使用類固醇的人，其肌肉修復速度快上約一倍，即24小時就可完成，這即是說，也能更快恢復體力，加速健身效果。


類固醇加速肌肉修復的生理极限，雖然讓健身者迅速達到效果，但它的風險也不小，因此，想要使用類固醇者，需三思而后行。

大马年轻人负债累累，日子难过，是什么惹的祸？

根据大马消费人联合会的说法，我国年轻人会面对严重的债务问题，主要有4个原因，也就是通货膨胀的压力、不顾后果的奢侈铺张、高涨的生活费，以及缺乏金融知识。

消费人联合会点出，我国公共交通系统不方便，导致汽车成为一种必需品，让不少人负债累累。而房价高涨也同样让不少年轻人痛苦不已。有估价师指出，过去40年来大马人的薪水是提高了10倍，但同时间房价却提高30到40倍，使得已经为买车烦的年轻人雪上加霜。另一方面，高企的医疗费用也让没有心理准备的年轻人会突然间陷入财务困境。

当然，年轻人负债累累也不能只怪罪于大环境。调查发现，一些年轻人常常陷入“人有我也要有”的困境，而买了很多自己不需要的东西，把自己推向负债累累的深渊。

中国快餐店用的冰块细菌含量严重超标

中国快餐店用的冰块细菌含量严重超标，肯德基道歉！

之前英国媒体曾报导，英国逾60%的餐饮连锁店所提供的冰块细菌总量，甚至超过取自马桶水箱的水。结果中国记者就到当地多家快餐店采取样品，去做分析检测。

检测结果发现，肯德基食用冰块菌落总数高达每毫升2000个，高于中国标准的19倍、马桶水12倍！

结果肯德基作出回应，表示公司高度重视有关报导，对这样的情况深表歉意。公司也承诺会按照标准监督餐厅，严格清洁消毒制冰机和相关设备。

详细报道，请点击http://bit.ly/15XerGj

（北京21日讯）中国的肯德基餐厅早前被指冰块细菌含量比马桶水还多，週日就事件致歉。
英国媒体曾报导，英国逾60%的餐饮连锁店所提供的冰块细菌总量，甚至超过取自马桶水箱的水。
因此，中国中央电视台记者日前分別从麦当劳北京崇文门店、肯德基崇文门店及真功夫崇文门店，买来可食用冰块，並抽取马桶水样品，送往北京市理化分析测试中心做对比检测。
结果，3家店的大肠菌群、金黄色葡萄球菌及沙门氏菌群，均符合国家標准，但菌落总数超標。
其中，麦当劳崇文门店冰块菌落总数（细菌总数）为每毫升120个，高过中国国家標准，低于马桶水。
真功夫冰块菌落总数为每毫升900个，高于国家標准8倍、马桶水5倍。
肯德基食用冰块菌落总数高达每毫升2000个，高于国家標准19倍、马桶水12倍。
报导引述北京世纪坛医院消化內科主任吴静指出，菌落总数超標，就意味著致病菌的机会增加，甚至还可能造成食物的腐烂、变质。
专家：可引起腹泻北京农学院食品科学与工程系副教授丁軻则表示，食用这些菌落超標的食物，也会破坏人体中有益的菌群，引起痢疾、拉肚子、腹泻等疾病，故不宜食用。
央视新闻的新浪官方微博披露「快餐店冰块细菌含量超出马桶水」的消息后，引发中国网民极大关注。
网民「洪芍元」贴文说：「天哪，我是喝了多少厕所水啊。」
一名自称在快餐店当值班经理的网民「无解机」则说：「这太正常了，不光快餐店，酒吧、酒店等地方都一样。」
据新华社报导，消息披露后，肯德基週日表示，公司高度重视这篇报导，对这样的情况深表歉意。公司品管部门已到涉事的北京崇文门餐厅瞭解情况，並监督餐厅立即按照標准，严格清洁消毒製冰机和相关设备。
麦当劳也表示，已在第一时间开展营运自查，感谢监督；真功夫则表示立即督促该餐厅，按照標准再次清洁和消毒了製冰设备，会进一步调查与瞭解此事。

How Chinese Ingenuity Destroyed Salad Bars at Pizza Hut

You had one trip to the salad bar. So dammit, you had to make it count.

In China, Pizza Huts are either take-out only or somewhat upscale sit-down restaurants that even serve steak. A while back, it became a fad of sorts to build enormous fruit and vegetable structures at Pizza Hut salad bars. The reason was that customers only got one plate and one trip to the salad bar, so they wanted their visit to be worth it. And was it ever.

The result was truly amazing and wonderfully creative plates of food. Yesterday, Japanese site LabaQ uploaded some classic "salad tower" pics:

There's an art and a craft to good salad stacking that, like with real structural engineering, needs good foundations to build higher and higher. Here, that strength comes from carrots, cucumbers, and croutons.

Here's a how-to:

As The Beijinger first reported in 2009, Pizza Hut actually announced it was removing salad bars from its restaurants as part of a menu revamp. It was believed that salad stacking was to blame. Ya think?

However, according to the Baidu wiki, when Pizza Hut announced it was removing the salad bars, that apparently encouraged people to make salad towers before the salad bars were gone for good! Others in China agreed with Pizza Hut's decision because they felt these food structures were wasteful if people didn't finish eating them.

It's unclear whether Pizza Hut was actually able to remove salad bars from all its restaurants in China. Kotaku's Beijing based writer Eric Jou says there are still salad bars in a Pizza Hut near him. Sadly though, there are no salad towers.

澳洲男性品牌Marcuse 雙胞胎男模

不知道各位卡友對於《巴西双子男模》 還有印象嗎？兩個帥哥兄弟這樣纏綿再一起，看了真的讓人>/////<....不過最近有家澳洲男性品牌Marcuse新的夏季形象照片，看 了真的也是讓各位..會覺得大呼過癮啊!!!自南美的新人 Nicholas Pletts 跟 Campbell Pletts 這對兄弟來做 Marcuse 夏季代言。不過我完全都在看人啊(口水)..

這家Marcuse看起來似乎版型都蠻窄的，人魚線都超明顯的，這對兄弟拍了不少型錄嚕。不過個人比較喜歡兩個人再一起的畫面(呼呼)~不過我一直有個疑惑~雙胞胎模特兒拍照的時候一定要互相擁抱的規定嗎？如果有也是不錯的(腐病發作XD)

雖然Nicholas Pletts跟Campbell Pletts是雙胞胎，但是面貌還是有點不太一樣，只是...我還是分不出誰是誰..= =...沒關係這都不是重點啦!!看照片養養眼睛吧!!

有人脈，做什麼都有人幫：46個你不相信但一定有效的人脈術

人脈不是靠建立，而是一種結果。 

根據我認識的高階經理人和我自己的經驗，這點絕對錯不了。 

如果你喜歡對方，就不會想要留住對方。 

如果明明不喜歡，卻為了建立人脈而參加聯誼或餐會交換名片，只會活受罪。 

想要建立真正的人脈，就必須專心做好眼前的工作。 

只要專注於工作而非建立人脈，在過程中，人脈就會自然形成。 

建立人脈時，不可多所算計。 

充滿算計的人脈不僅脆弱，而且短命。 

賺錢的時候，大家看似團結一致，一旦出現虧損，所有的人就會鳥獸散。 

這是因為維繫彼此的不是人，而是利益。 

關係的基礎不是敬意，而是損益得失。 

為了以敬意為基礎維繫人際關係，必須專心工作。 

專心工作，共享甘苦。 

這種感覺或許像是戰友。 

工作最重要的當然是創造成果。 

不過無論是多優秀的人，工作十次頂多只有一次會很成功。 

剩下的一半還算成功，另一半則是失敗。 

無關業種或業界，也無論是什麼樣的專家，比例都是一樣的。 

當然無論做什麼事，都應該以成功為目標，但是成敗的比例還是不會改變。 

換言之，你面對有百分之五十失敗的可能性的態度，將大大改變你的人生。 

思考著如何將失敗的經驗運用在人生當中，這件事也和人脈有關。 

雖然不是故意，但如果是無法逃避的失敗，就好好品味它吧！ 

品味工作失敗最好的方法，就是不要逃避。 

這個方法雖然簡單到讓人驚訝，但只要不要逃避就好了。 

我說的是真的。 

只要不逃避，就會有個好處。 

那就是可以和另一個來不及逃走的人當朋友。 

這是我懂事之後，雖然不知道該如何用言語形容，卻深刻體會到的事。 

我在就讀小學和國中的時候，只要惡作劇被發現，通常就會是那個挨罵的人。 

無論我做什麼都非常引人注目，光是經過「犯罪現場」，都會被當成犯人對待。 

「怎麼又是你！」 

「你要我說幾次！」 

我至今仍清楚記得老師們的吼叫聲。 

起初我還會找理由辯解，後來就開始樂在其中了。 

因為如果我來不及跑，就可以和另一個也來不及跑的人當朋友。 

所以老師們應該要這麼罵。 

「怎麼又是你們！」 

「你們要我說幾次！」 

只要不逃避，就可以交上這樣的好運，然而大家幾乎都浪費掉這樣的好運。 

出社會之後也一樣。 

發生問題只要不逃避，就可以和另一個同樣來不及逃避的同事博感情。 

如果工作的成果不如預期，大多數的上班族都會找理由。 

更糟的是工作四十年，四十年來都在找藉口。 

這樣是不可能交上真正的好運。 

工作失敗是邂逅志同道合夥伴的機會。 

因此不需要強辯，而是要正面迎接羞辱和責罵。 

光是這麼做，你的人生就會煥然一新。 

你的人生之所以能夠煥然一新，是因為你那永不逃避的戰友。

Top 10 Strange Islands Around The World

Islands are unique forms of land as they give amazing views and are rich in natural beauty. Some stand just a few meters away from coast while others stand in the midst of oceans far away from the main land. Most of the time the islands are bestowed with magnificent views of nature while at times it gains our attention due to something out of the ordinary; here is a list of islands that have attributes other than natural beauty and picturesque scenery that got our attention.

10: Palm Islands, Dubai

DubaiThe Palm Jumeirah is an artificial mad-made island off the coast of Jumeirah beach, Dubai. It should not come as a shock since Dubai homes other marvels such as an indoor ski resort and a 160 story skyscraper. But this engineering feat pulled within the city is something that put Dubai on the map. The island is 31 square kilometer in area with sixteen 1 kilometer fronts that are surrounded by a 11 km long circular barrier. It measure 5 km from the tip to the mainland [source: The Daily Mail]. The Palm is the brainchild of Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Makhtoum and the construction was carried out by Nakheel. They used around 92 million cubic meters of sand that they dredged from sea floor and boulder excavated from nearby mountain range. Surprisingly the Palm Jumeirah is not the only project in Dubai, artificial islands that is. Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira and “The World” are on their way to make a mark. However the 2008 financial crisis dealt a strong blow to these projects putting their future in doubt.

9: La Isla de las Munecas (The Island of the Dolls), Mexico

Dolls hang from the trees, dolls that are wrapped with spider webs and at times with insects crawling in and out of the empty eye sockets. It may seem more like a scene from a Hollywood horror movie but that is not the case. You can see such dolls and a relatively horrific outlook once you reach the La Isla de las Munecas, the island of the dolls. Now the legend behind this island is just as disturbing as the scene enunciated above. The island lies just outside of Mexico City, where a broken man who after the tragic death of his family came to live in the canals of Xochimilco. His name was Don Julian. It is said that one day Julian heard a woman screaming as if she was drowning in a nearby canal. Julian rushed to save her life, like a hero he jumped in and pulled her out. But sadly she died soon. After that Julian started to hear the girl’s screams on nightly basis and in an unsuccessful attempt to make the spirit of the girl go away he started to hang dolls from the trees. The number grew as he kept hearing screams night over night. With time his legend grew and people come to give him dolls that he then used to hang by the tress. In 2005 Julian dies at 86 years of age but his dolls still hang by the trees, numbering up to thousands.

8: Socotra Island, Yemen

If you have seen the movie”the Mysterious Island” then you can probably relate to this island. The island is located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Yemen and Somalia. It is filled with breathtaking views, a mountain range (Haghier Mountains) reaching heights up to 1,525 meters and has arid lands. But the feature that gives it distinction are the flora and fauna that find their home on that island. Among the 300 plants, 24 reptiles and six birds that are unique to Socotra, is the dragon’s blood tree, an odd plant that is named for its bright red sap [source: SCDP].  From this tree’s thick central trunk, sturdy, gnarled branches fan out in a round umbrella shape and are topped with palm-like leaves. Another peculiar part of the island’s flora is the Socotran desert rose, a beige plant with pink flowers that’s best described as a giant rutabaga-like tree. The only drawback is the hostility of that region. The adjoining regions of the island are unstable otherwise the island would have been one of the most desired destinations for eco-tourists.

7: Fort Boyard, France

 

The island is home to Fort Boyard, a structure that kind of looks like a bath tub. Located just off the coast of France towards the west, the island lies midway between the islands of Oleron and Aix. What started off as a military buildup in the 1660’s when Louis XIV was ruling, the lead engineer suggested the king not to go ahead with the project. Work began on it under the order of Napoleon in 1804. It was never an easy task but the workers started off by dumping 75,000 cubic meters of rock onto the sandy floor. British attack hampered construction in 1809 and it was not started again till the next 30 years. It was completed in 1857 and the resulting oval-shaped island fortress measured 32 meters wide and 20 meters high and could support 250 soldiers and 74 guns. Since the structured was originally designed keeping in view the technology of guns of the time, it was started so naturally 200 years later the structure served no purpose. It has been used as a military prison, movie,TV backdrop and currently being used shooting of a French game show”Fort Boyard”.

6: The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca, Peru

Technically speaking, these are not islands but large mats. The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca are one of the strangest tourist attractions. The reason behind this entire ordeal is the inhabitants; Uros. According to anthropologists, in pre-columbian times the Uros migrated from the Amazon and shifted to a region that is today Peru. As the Uros did not find land for themselves, they decided to make their own. The Uros live on large mats made of buoyant totora reeds reaching sizes upt to half a football field and 8 to 12 feet in depth tethered together as well as to the bottom of the lake. Originally they made their mats 9 miles into the lake but due to storms they were forced to move near to the coast. They were mostly fishermen but it is difficult to make living out of it because of the economic activity on the shore of the lake. Now they make their living by charging and selling things to the 200,000 visitor who come there every year.

5: Madagascar

Madagascar is not only the fourth largest island on planet earth but also on the most beautiful place on earth. Originally belonging to Africa, it was separated from it some 15 million years ago. Ever since the flora and fauna has evolved differently in comparison to the main land. The island is home to the most fascinating trees of which the baobab is top of the list. It’s a carrot-shaped tree with a thick trunk and high branches that can grow up to 24 meters tall. Lemurs, another interesting element found only on the island and the nearby islands also hold interest for the tourists. Since the country is originally poor and the 2009 coupe was like the last nail in the coffin as things seemed to get worse. Poaching of Madagascar’s wildlife and illicit harvesting of its trees is a common practice that the environmentalist hope to stop as it is destroying the island.

4: Alcatraz Island, United States

Alcatraz is without doubt the most famous Island of America. A small rocky outpost in the midst of San Francisco Bay, California, the island has been used as a defense post by the military as well as a prison. Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala was the first person to map it back in 1775 and named it “Isla de los Alcatraces”(Island of Pelicans) because of the seabirds that live there. U.S Army constructed a post there in 1853 from protection purposes and later transferred it to Federal Bureau of Prisons which converted the fortress into one of the most legendary prison.  Al Capone, Alvin Karpis, “Machine Gun” Kelly, Basil “The Owl” Banghart and Mickey Cohen were housed here before closing its doors in 1963. But the main reason for it being famous was because of the occupation of the island by American Indians from 1969 to 1971.

3: Hashima Island, Japan

Located 9 miles southwest of Nagasaki, the island has a prolific history. The island is densely populated and had vital importance in the energy sector due to the presence of coal in the seabed beneath the island. Once the Japanese discovered coal, the Fukahori family installed the frist mineshaft on the island in 1887 and then sold it to Mitsubhi company. The company however had different plans as they expanded the operations and ended up enlarging the island from original size to 15.6 acres and then enclosed it with walls. Mitsubhishi made housing apartments for the workers. During WWII, Chinese and South Koreans were forced to work at the mines due to increase in demand. The population peaked in 195 by 5,259 persons per acre and that demanded for certain facilities. These included, a primary school, junior high school, playground, gymnasium, pinball parlor, movie theater, bars, restaurants, 25 different retail shops, hospital, hairdresser, Buddhist temple, Shinto shrine and even a brothel. The mine was ultimately closed in 1974 due to change in primary source of energy to petroleum.

2: Poveglia Island, Italy

The history of Poveglia Island is full of horrors. The island is said to be inhabited the first time back in 421 by people who were trying to flee invaders. In 1348 a bubonic plague hit Venice. Since the island is located in the South Lagoon between the cities of Venice and Lido, the Poveglia Island (they were abandoned by people by then) were used to quarantine the dead and dying victims of disease, many of whom were then burnt on the island. In 1630 Black Death sickened many hat eventually fell victim to the same fate on the island. Napoleon used the island to stash gun powder and weapons in 19th century. In the late 1800’s the island became asylum for mentally ill. It is said that the doctors of the hospital use to perform experiment and that drove one patient to a point where he actually jumped off form the institution’s bell tower. People still hear the scream and rings of the bell even though the bell as removed long time ago.

1: Easter Island

How the inhabitants of the Easter Island did carve giant stone statues when the tools available to them were mere stones, bones and coral? The question still raises eyebrows to this day. The statues on the island are believed to be called as “moai” and the base as “ahu”. They average 13 feet (4 meters) in height and weigh in at a whopping 14 tons (12,700 kilograms), and were carved from rock quarried from a volcanic crater on the island’s eastern end, known as Rano Raraku. All together, there are 887 moai on Easter Island. Of those, 397 remain in Rano Raraku, and 92 lie in transit outside the quarry. Numerous methods have been suggested to explain how the early inhabitants moved these stone monuments — sleds, rolling logs, and even extraterrestrials — but the exact technique is still unknown.
