Below are some smart ways to stay healthy suggested by some American experts.
Drink More Coffee
When was the last time you heard a doctor use the word “miracle” ? Well, wake up and smell the coffee. “It’s amazing,” says liver specialist Sanjiv Chopra, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.“Coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug.”
Though he says it’s still a “scientific mystery” how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies have repeatedly proved its astonishing benefits.
“Drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it to minimize calories,” Dr.Chopra recommends.He drinks at least four cups a day himself, though most people should limit themselves to two. And he jokes, “I’m not sponsored by Starbucks.”
Take a Walk for Your Memory
Aerobic exercise(有氧运动) is good for your body, great for your mind, according to the latest research from brainfitness pioneer Arthur Kramer.Every year, an area called the hippocampus, which is key to memory, shrinks by about 1 to 2 percent, increasing the risk of dementia (痴呆) as the years roll by. However, Kramer’s new investigations reveal that the hippocampi of adults who walked briskly for about 45 minutes three times a week grew by about 2 percent over the course of a year, preventing agerelated shrinking.
