電子背包控制蟑螂 被批虐蟑

美國Backyard Brains公司研發1款裝在蟑螂身上的「電子背包」，透過相應的手機應用程式（app）來控制蟑螂的行動，引發虐待昆蟲的爭議，該公司則堅稱此產品用意在鼓勵兒童研究神經科學。

據英國廣播公司（BBC）網站報導，要為蟑螂裝上這種「電子背包」，必須先把蟑螂放在冰水中，以壓制牠的行動。然後要使用砂紙磨掉蟑螂頭部光滑的外層。接下來，是把電極接頭和電極黏在蟑螂身上，再用針在牠的胸部戳一個洞，以便插入電線。

接著還要剪斷蟑螂觸鬚，插入電極，並把小型的電路板固定在牠背上，這樣就可以透過手機app發送訊號，來控制蟑螂的動作，比如左右移動。

美國一些科學網站引據動物行為科學家巴康柏指出，在這整個過程中，蟑螂會受到傷害。他質問說：「如果有人發現，教師要學生使用放大鏡去燒螞蟻，之後再觀察牠們的組織，大家會有什麼反應？」

皇后大學哲學教授艾倫也警告說，這裝置會鼓勵業餘人士以侵入性地方式將其用在生物身上。

已有人寫電子郵件給這家位於密西根州的公司，抗議其稱為機器人蟑螂的電子背包，會把「小孩教成心理病態者」。

該公司則堅稱，全球很快就會有2成人口出現神經功能失調，且這目前仍無有效療法，而蟑螂電子背包可讓學生及早在這方面從事研究生層次的研究。公司也強調人道對待蟑螂、電子背包不會傷害蟑螂。

[你怎么看] 马来西亚英文好过新加坡吗？我国获评亚洲英语最佳国家

上个星期有一个调查报告引起了广泛的讨论，全球英语能力指标2013的报告中，把我国评为亚洲英文最好的国家，在非英文为母语的国家中排行全球第11。

尤其是马来西亚的排名超越了邻国新加坡 – 就在网路上引起了风波，毕竟新加坡人都觉得他们的英文好过我们，甚至有人说马来西亚连这个都要贿赂，所以才可以有那么高的排名。

谈谈的朋友们，你们又怎么看？觉得我国的英文是不是真的好过新加坡呢？

国际教育机构英孚教育(Education First)公布的《2013全球英语能力指标报告》显示，马来西亚成人英语能力在60个非母语国家中排名11，除排名创新高外，也首次打败新加坡，成为亚洲英语最佳国家。中国排名亚洲34位。

根据此报告，马来西亚凭58.99评分（第11位）获选为英语能力最佳的亚洲国家，得分比2012年的57.95分数高，属于高程度等级。传统英语强国新加坡首次被马来西亚超越，得分58.92（第12位），但比2012年高。

此外，英语中等水平的亚洲国家和地区，香港排名第22位(54.44)，韩国（第24位，54.19）、日本（26位，54.17），而中国大陆仅排名第34位(47.62)，台湾则排名第33位(48.93)。

根据这个总部设在瑞士的跨国语言学习机构报告指出，全球范围内，瑞典、挪威与荷兰分别占据前三位置，得分介于66至69分之间。

英孚教育(Education First)指出，这项针对成人英文掌握能力展开的调查，证实英文不但是国际语言，同时也是全球通用的企业与贸易语言，这可从求职者及新生代父母积极培训英文掌握能力，甚至不惜花钱上培训班中得以证实。

同时，它盛赞一些国家如印尼与越南已经在过去6年积极提升了英语水平；中国也进步不少，但脚步稍微缓慢；至于日本与韩国虽然有许多国际私人投资活动，但英语水平不升反降。

Education First 分析各区域的一些研究发现

集合60个国家和地区的资料，英孚EPI指标展示了当今全球范围的英语水準概貌。通过国家、贸易伙伴以及盟国间的比较分析，报告为了解欧、亚、拉丁美洲等地在国家重心和教育政策方面的不同倾向提供了极具价值的研究资料。

亚洲：英语熟练度「意外」低迷

• 虽然印度曾一度是英国的殖民地并声称是一个英语国家，在这次评测中，与快速提升的中国相比，其英语熟练度并没有展现优势。尽管很难估计每个国家确切使用英语的人数，但今日总体人数已经大致持平，并且中国有望在短短几年内超过印度。同样曾经是英国殖民地的香港地区（第22位，53.54），其成年人英语水準与同为亚洲最富裕群体的近邻日本、韩国相比也并无显著优势，这主要是因为韩国和日本的公共教学体系中都非常重视英语学习，并有大量私人英语培训机构。

• 马来西亚是亚洲英语水準最高的国家，在非欧洲地区，只有马来西亚和新加坡被划分为高英语熟练度的国家。在马来西亚，居民主体包括马来人、华人和印度人，长期以来，马来西亚学生进入小学后就要求学习英语，进入初中后按照英国「0」级课程体系继续学习。英语不是这三大社区人群自身的语言，却被不同社区共用，扮演著促进沟通的媒介角色。

欧洲：西班牙，法国和意大利程度偏低

• 欧洲独特的多语言文化使其英语熟练度远高于其它地区。其中，北欧地区熟练掌握英语表现抢眼，几乎所有国家都名列前茅，其中还包括全球排名第一的国家。如今欧洲90%的学生在学习阶段需要学习英语。此外，欧洲很多跨国公司和工厂都使用英语作为工作语言。然而，在西班牙和意大利，其英语熟练度低于其它西欧国家的水準。

拉美：西班牙语击败英语

• 拉丁美洲是所有地区中英语熟练度排名最低的，平均成绩刚达到最低水準分数线。这一方面也说明了西班牙语在这些地区才是最重要的国际语言，这一通用语种已经确保了国际贸易、外交和旅游得以顺利进行，从而降低了人们学习英语的动力。此外，低水準的教学品质和入学率也导致了拉丁美洲的英语熟练度在所有地区排名垫底。

这是什么报告？

英孚英语能力指标（EF English Proficiency Index，简称EF EPI）是业内首度推出的英语能力标準，为比较不同国家、不同时期的成人英语熟练程度提供了标準化工具。

EF Englishtown行政总裁Bill Fisher表示：「在当今竞争高度激烈的全球经济社会，熟练的英语技能愈发成为在职人士的必备条件。想要参与全球经济发展的国家及地区都意识到，培养大批掌握专业技能并能以英语沟通的毕业生是拓展服务型经济最可行的方式。」

通过进行地区间、国家间的分析比对，该份报告同时揭示了英语能力指标与其他国家间的有趣关联，EPI指标与受教育时间、国家出口实力、收入水平成正比。报告还为各国提高英语熟练度提出了建设性意见，如建立多语言文化，发展更具影响力、标準化的语言能力评估方法，鼓励有效沟通，反对一味纠正语法等。

如何测试？
英孚教育邀请全球60个国家与地区，总共75万18岁以上的成年人，进行听力、阅读等1小时的英语测试，以鉴定他们的英文能力，并统计过去6年近500万名接受评估者的平均成绩，做出上述成绩。

关于EF英孚教育
EF 英孚教育集团是全球领先的国际教育机构，集团成立於 1965 年，本著「打破人与人之间语言、文化和地域上的界限」的使命，凭借 400 间语言学校，已经说明了超过 1，500 万名学员。英孚主要致力於语言培训、学位课程、教育游学和文化交流等方面。从 EF 英孚与 Apple 苹果电脑公司合作共同开发的最初设想开始，EF 英孚的 Efekta™ 系统就是最先进的英语学习方法，运用于 EF 英孚的语言课堂教学和通过 Englishtown.com 开展网上英语互动教学。除了说明 1,200 多个组织开展英语培训之外，EF 英孚还是北京奥运会的官方语言培训提供商，并正在著手说明巴西準备 2014 年足球世界盃。2010年英孚获得中国经营报《职场》杂志「50佳第一工作场所称号」。

日本人奇怪的發明 Another weird Japanese invention

你也許覺得大口吃漢堡是件很過癮的事，但在日本，女性在公共場所張大嘴，被視為是不禮貌也不合乎社交禮儀的行為。日本「新鮮漢堡」為了讓女性顧客可以不用擔心形像的放心享用，於是推出了隱藏嘴巴的“解放包裝” 。據報導，自從使用這個獨特的包裝後，銷售量增加了200％。原來日本女性還是喜歡吃漢堡的。

You may not think much about opening your mouth wide in public, but in Japan, it is actually considered to be bad manners for women to do so.

This was the main reason why the large “Classic Burger” by Japanese burger chain FRESHNESS BURGER didn’t do well with female diners—they had to open their mouths really wide to eat it.

Thus, enter the ‘Liberation Wrapper’. Printed with an image of the lower half of a woman’s face, this burger wrapper is designed to hide the eater’s mouth while she is eating a burger, making it appear as if she is somehow managing to keep her “Ochobo”—“small and modest” mouth—throughout the meal.

睡美容觉的6个贴士 6 Ways to Get Your Best Beauty Sleep Ever

8小時的睡眠是最好不過的，但往往不是睡眠不足就是睡眠品質不好。美國亞特蘭大睡眠醫學科技學院(The Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and Technology)主任，Kathleen Hall博士的美容覺tips:

1. 沐浴陽光: 雖然不希望在陽光下過度曝曬，但適度的陽光能自然調節身體的生理時鐘。
2. 運動: 每天20-30分鐘的運動，可以幫助入睡，但一定要做在上午或下午做。 睡前的有氧運動會刺激身體，可能更難入睡。晚上運動時，選擇伸展、放鬆身心的瑜珈。
3. 舒適的睡眠環境: 床、枕頭一定要適合自己的身型和睡眠習慣。為了好的睡眠品質，床單和棉被也是值得投資的。
4. 鎮靜的香味: 薰衣草和茉莉花的香味可以幫助入眠。研究顯示，這些香味能減輕焦慮和失眠，還能減緩心跳，放鬆肌肉。
5. 關機: 無論是電腦、平板電腦、電視、手機螢幕，甚至是照明的數字時鐘都會
刺激大腦，可能導致睡眠中斷。 把時鐘放在看不到的地方，才不會讓你專注時間，感到緊張和焦慮。盡量助保持臥室安靜、涼爽，營造一個專心休息的環境。
6. 周末時不要過度補眠: 如果週一至週五沒有得到足夠的睡眠，不要在周末時睡一整天。午睡30-60分鐘，然後早點上床。一切適可而止， 才不會打亂正常的睡眠周期。

Burned out from too much summer fun? These expert tips will get you gorgeously rested for fall.

Sure, you know that getting eight hours of sleep a night is ideal, but how often are you practicing that rule of thumb? If your answer is not often at all, let’s try the scare tactic: Did you know that a lack of sleep can cause dark circles and bags under your eyes? What about weight gain and difficulty shedding pounds? No woman in her right mind wants any of the above—verdad? So, we sat down and chatted with Russell Rosenberg, PH.D., director of The Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and Technology, and Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder and CEO of Atlanta-based companies The Mindful Living Network and The Stress Institute, to create a regimen that’ll get your Zzz’s back on track in no time.

Soak Up Some Sun

“Expose yourself to sunlight soon after awakening,” says Dr. Hall. “This will help to regulate your body’s natural biological clock.” Though you don’t want to overexpose your skin to the sun, Dr. Rosenberg recommends going for a run, gardening, or walking your dog for about thirty minutes in the morning. “It’s the sunlight that hits your eyes and sends signals to your brain that turns off the melatonin production, which wakes you up. Even on a cloudy day, there’s enough light outside to make a difference,” he says.

Work In A Workout

“Twenty to 30 minutes of exercise every day can help you sleep, but be sure to do it in the morning or afternoon,” advises Dr. Hall. “Exercise stimulates the body and aerobic activity before bedtime may make falling asleep more difficult.” Later in the day, try taking a yoga class for a more peaceful workout sesh’. “The stretching relaxes your tight muscles and the deep breaths bring needed oxygen into the brain and body, helping you to relax,” says Dr. Hall.

Make Your Bed

According to Dr. Rosenberg, setting the stage for sleep is key. “We are creatures of habit, and the environment that we have when we sleep is important,” he says. First and foremost: Do everything you can to make your bed comfortable. “Try therapeutic shaped foam pillows that cradle your neck or extra pillows that help you sleep on your side, and get comfortable cotton sheets,” says Dr. Hall.

Spritz a Soothing Scent

Lacing your boudoir with calming scents can help you to fall asleep peacefully. But be sure to choose long-lasting scents that don’t overpower the room, like lavender and jasmine. We like Febreze Sleep Serenity Bedroom Mist in Moonlit Lavender and Quiet Jasmine ($3.50 for each, at drugstores). “Research shows that the scent of lavender eases anxiety and insomnia,” says Dr. Hall. “Researchers have also found that it increases slow-wave sleep, the very deep slumber in which the heartbeat slows, muscles relax, and the brain is thought to organize memory. On the other hand, jasmine works like sleeping pills! German researchers found that jasmine is as effective as Valium and similar drugs for relieving anxiety and promoting sleep.” Some jasmine scents have even been proven to be as effective as some pharmaceutical drugs, according to a study by the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Stash Your Gadgets

Computer, tablet, TV, and phone screens use LED lights, which stimulate your brain and prevent you from getting rest. Even a digital clock can cause sleep disruption. “A big, illuminated digital clock may cause you to focus on the time and make you feel stressed and anxious,” says Dr. Hall. “Place your clock so you can’t see the time when you are in bed.” Do, however, feel free to use a fan or white noise machine to help keep your bedroom quiet, blocking outside distractions (plus, keeping your room cool is essential for a comfy rest).

Don’t Try to Play Catch-Up

If you didn’t get much rest during the week, sleeping in on the weekend may not make up for it. “Instead, take no more than a 30 to 60 minute nap on Sunday and then add a little more time in bed in the subsequent workweek,” says Dr. Rosenberg. “That can make a difference. Don’t try to get all of the rest back in one night, try a half hour more every night.” That goes for the other way around too—if you generally get to sleep early on a week night, you can’t expect to stay out on Friday and Saturday, play catch-up on Sunday, and rise and shine with ease come Monday morning. Everything in moderation, bellezas!

6 Things That Make Water Unhealthy

喝水是健康的，幾乎任何時候喝都有好處。大多數開發國家的人們是幸運的，不必擔心在哪裡可以找到乾淨、安全的飲用水，水似乎是理所當然的無處不在。但根據世界衛生組織（WHO），每年有超過340萬的人死於供水衛生所導致的疾病、感染和營養不良。怎麼樣的水是不安全的呢? 

1. 雙酚A (BPA): 美國國家環境健康科學研究所的發現，雙酚A出現在一些塑料水瓶內，可以滲入飲料，導致健康風險。幸運的是，現在有越來越多不含雙酚A的塑料瓶。但即使是不含雙酚A的瓶子，當暴露在陽光下、微波爐或洗碗機內仍可能滲出有害化學物質。
2. 不洗瓶子: 細菌喜歡溫暖、潮濕的地方，所以要定期用熱肥皂水把瓶子洗乾淨、晾乾。蓮蓬頭也要定期清洗。
3. 加人工甜味劑等添加劑的水。
4. 喝太多: 水有可能喝過多? 是的。低鈉血症是因鈉在體內的水平下降太多，細胞開始膨脹，若不及時治療，可能導致低鈉血症發作和昏迷。這就是為什麼馬拉松選手是比較常見的低鈉血症患者。
5. 咖啡因: 適當咖啡因可改善記憶力和注意力。但咖啡因過頭時，會有煩躁、失眠，焦躁不安的狀況。

Water is one of those things just assumed to be good for you at all times, in all quantities. It's up there on the list of quintessentially nutritious foods and drinks with apples and broccoli and oatmeal. Water is so important and awesome, Michelle Obama wants you to drink more of it and she has created a whole new campaign around encouraging you to do so.

While most people in developed countries are lucky enough not to have to worry about where to find clean, safe drinking water, H2O isn't taken for granted everywhere. Each year, more than 3.4 million people die worldwide because of water supply, sanitation and hygiene issues that lead to diseases, infections and malnutrition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Life-threatening illnesses aside, there are still a handful of issues with your everyday water. Here are a few of those troublemakers, plus how to avoid them.

Bisphenol A
There's some research to suggest that this chemical, commonly known as BPA, found in some plastic water bottles, can leach into food and drinks, and may pose health risks especially to infants and children, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Luckily, more and more BPA-free bottles are available now. (However, some caution that even BPA-free plastics may still leach unwanted chemicals into your water when exposed to sunlight or microwaves or dishwashers, NPR reported.)

Not Washing Your Bottle
A reusable bottle -- stainless steel, perhaps? -- is a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to one-time-use bottles or cups, but you've got to keep it clean. Bacteria like to hang out in warm, wet places, after all, so screwing the lid on the mostly-empty bottle in your office, then refilling it the next morning is basically laying out the "Welcome" mat. Luckily, all it takes to stay safe is a regular wash with hot, soapy water -- and be sure to leave it open to dry, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Drinking From The Shower Head
shower head
Speaking of warm and wet, it's time to clean your shower head. Yep, the spout is prime breeding ground for bacteria that go flying into the air when you turn on the shower. Luckily for most healthy bathers, this is less dangerous than it is merely gross, but people with compromised immune systems could be at risk, Health.com reported. Do yourself a favor and fight the temptation to sip from that fountain.

Crystal Light
We count 12 ingredients on the label of this "natural" flavoring. Twelve. Ditch the artificial sweeteners and other additives for a slice of fresh lemon.

Drinking Way Too Much
too much water
It's relatively difficult to do, but it is possible to drink too much water. Seriously overhydrating leads to what's called hyponatremia, when sodium levels in the body drop so low, cells begin to swell, according to the Mayo Clinic. Untreated, hyponatremia could result in seizures and coma. But it takes truly overcompensatory gulping to reach that point, which is why refueling marathon runners are among the more common hyponatremia sufferers. Keep this rule of thumb in mind: Don't drink to the point where you feel full from water alone, Shape.com reported.

Caffeine
In and of itself, caffeine may actually do you some good, including improving memory and concentration. But when you add a jolt to something as harmless as a bottle of water, which is what companies like Avitae and Water Joe have done, it's easy to overdo it -- and fast. Where you might sensibly stop after a couple of cups of coffee, you might absent-mindedly continue to sip at your caffeinated H2O to quench your thirst, and before you know it, find yourself in the irritable, sleepless, restless realm of heavy caffeine use.

拗指關節的聲音是怎麼產生的？

拗指關節的聲音是怎麼產生的？

聲音來自關節裡潤滑液中氣泡破裂的聲音。

如果你曾將手指緊靠，手心背對著你，然後把手指往後折，發出一聲「喀」的聲音，你知道這就是拗手指關節所發出的聲音。因此，如果你一直拗手指關節，讓指關節發出聲音，會怎麼？這麼做會對你的關節造成傷害嗎？你會得關節炎嗎？

首先，你必須知道在你拗手指關節時，關節裡頭所發生的情況。當包覆關節的關節液裡頭的泡泡破掉時，關節就會發出「喀」的聲音。關節是兩根獨立骨頭的接合處，並由結締組織與韌帶所連接。人體體內所有的關節都被黏稠且透明的關節液所包覆。當你緊伸或彎折手指，讓指關節發出聲音時，你便將關節的骨頭拉開。拉開它們時，包覆著關節的結締組織被囊也會跟著拉開。拉開被囊後，它的體積便撐開脹大。而體積變大時，裡頭的壓力就會變小。因此，當關節液的壓力變小時，就會產生「空洞化」而形成氣泡。關節拉開到足夠的程度時，被囊裡的壓力降得很低，以致於這些泡泡破掉，發出我們認為是折手指關節時所發出的聲音。

空氣要再次溶解到關節液裡需要5到10分鐘。這段期間裡，你的關節便不會再發出聲音。等到空氣再次溶解後，又會再發生空洞化現象，而你也就能再開始折手指關節，讓指關節發出聲音。

空洞化會對人體造成傷害嗎？解剖學與生理學講師合作會只發表過一篇深入探討的研究論文。這個研究由雷蒙‧波狄厄（Raymond Brodeur）所完成，發表在《物理治療期刊》（Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics）裡。這個研究檢驗了300名拗指關節的人，來看看他們關節傷害的情況。

研究結果顯示，大體來說，如果你常常拗手指關節，讓關節發出聲音，那麼可能會造成某種程度的傷害。但是拗關節跟關節炎之間並無明顯的關聯。不過，有拗手指關節、讓關節發出聲音習慣的人的確會有其他身體傷害的跡象，包括關節被囊的軟組織傷害、抓握力下降，以及手部腫脹增加。這些傷害很有可能是因為快速反覆拉開包覆著關節的韌帶所致。職業棒球投手投球的那隻手臂上，許多關節處也有相同但明顯更嚴重的症狀。

往好處想，有證據顯示在拗關節後，關節的活動力會增加。關節活動後，附近的肌肉會因此放鬆。這也是為什麼在指壓或推拿治療後，會感到放鬆和舒暢的部分原因。因為促使空洞化也是療程的一部分。背脊、膝蓋、手肘，以及所有其他可活動的關節都能像拗手指關節那樣，發出聲音。

最常犯的護髮錯誤 The 10 Biggest Hair Care Mistakes

1. 洗髮前不梳頭：頭髮溼時是最脆弱的，所以洗頭前先梳開。如果你喜歡在淋浴時梳髮，先擦護髮素，用手指把打結的地方分開，沖洗前再用寬齒梳理。
2. 只梳髮尾：你可能怕過度梳髮而造成損傷，但頭皮有天然油脂，是自然的護髮素。用木製的毛刷按摩頭皮，可刺激循環和頭髮生長。
3. 過度洗髮：會洗去頭皮健康的油脂，使頭髮失去光澤。
4. 用過多的潤絲精：雖然過多的潤絲精會使髮頂扁塌，但細髮質的頭髮容易損傷，所以還是建議使用，但一定要適量和沖洗乾淨。每週一次用深層洗髮水，以防止殘留物積聚。
5. 用力擦乾頭髮：頭髮摩擦過多會粗糙角質層，導致毛髮無光澤、毛躁或斷裂。
6. 吹理前沒有先護髮：高溫會損壞髮質，吹理或加熱前要用隔熱護髮素為屏障和平滑角質層。
7. 在潮濕的頭髮上使用塑髮電棒：頭髮應該完全乾燥後才可進行熱定型，否則會損傷毛囊。
8. 使用電棒時噴髮膠：髮膠中的酒精成份會因接觸高溫而損傷髮質。應定型後再噴髮膠。
9. 太常刮髮根使頭髮膨鬆：偶爾OK，但常常這麼做會損害角質層。
10. 以為分叉可以修護：一旦頭髮分叉，沒有產品可以修補。唯一對抗方法是預防或修剪。若要掩飾明顯的分叉，可嘗試堅果油或蜂蠟的精華素。

1. Not Brushing Before Washing
A damage double-whammy: Hair is weakest when it’s wet, and wet hair is more prone to tangling. To prevent shower-induced snarls, give your hair a brush before hopping in. If you like to comb in the shower, apply conditioner, untangle strands with your fingers, then use a wide-toothed comb before rinsing.

2. Brushing the Ends Only
You’ve heard that brushing too much causes breakage, but your scalp’s natural oils are one of the best conditioners out there. Massage your scalp with a wooden-bristle brush like Widu to stimulate circulation and hair growth and brush from roots to ends to add luster naturally.

3. Being a Clean Freak
Most heads of hair don’t benefit from daily washing. Chronic washing strips your scalp of healthy oils, leaving your hair lackluster and lifeless. By all means, shower daily, but if you don’t use a ton of styling products, try just rinsing hair with water or using a light, volumizing conditioner every other day.

4. Haphazard Conditioning
We’ve heard to condition only the ends to prevent flat, weighed-down tresses, but fine-haired gals should condition their roots as well since their hair is more susceptible to breakage. Over conditioning is another common snafu. Use just enough to untangle snags and save serious slathering for a once-a-week deep treatment or hair masque like Zerran’s Hair Redemption or DermOrganic Intensive Hair Repair Masque. No matter how you condition, be sure to rinse until the water runs clear and use a clarifying shampoo from time to time to prevent residue build-up.

5. Intense Towel Drying
Most styling products direct you to use them on towel-dried hair, but rubbing hair too much will roughen up the cuticle, leading to dull hair, frizz, and breakage. Blot hair with a towel and shake out the strands with your fingers. Your hair will take longer to dry, but it will be healthier in the long run.

6. Skipping Heat Protection
We all know that heat is one of the most damaging elements to hair. But if you don’t want to live without blow-drying, curling, or flattening, always, always use a heat-protective aid to shield strands and smooth cuticles. I like Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum. Before blow-drying, let hair air dry until just damp (use your fingers to shake out hair to speed the process) and opt for the warm setting instead of hot to avoid habitual heat damage.

7. Using Hot Irons on Damp Hair
Wet hair and hot tools don’t mix. Curling and flat irons can burn the follicles of damp strands, leading to weak and broken tresses. Hair should be completely dry before heat styling, period. Even when you’re in a rush.

8. Using Hairspray Before Styling
Ever hear a sizzle when curling or straightening hair that has hairspray in it? Alcohols in hairspray burn on contact with heat. Always use hairspray AFTER curling or ironing.

9. Teasing with Abandon
For the occasional va-va-voom, back-combing hair toward the root to amp up volume is a celebrated trick. But teasing regularly will damage hair cuticles and lead to breakage. To get the dimension without the damage, try Giovanni Root 66 Directional Root Lifting Spray and blow dry for natural, non-sticky volume.

10. Thinking You Can Mend Split Ends
Sorry ladies: Once hair has split at the ends, there’s no product that can mend it. The only solution for split ends is to prevent them in the first place (e.g. avoiding over-washing, rigorous towel drying, and abusing heat tools)—or to get a trim. For a temporary way to minimize visibly broken bottoms, try using a product with beeswax or a serum with argan oil on the ends to smooth splits.

11個吃不胖的重點 11 Tips To Eat Like A Skinny Woman

1. 只有餓時才會吃。
2. 情緒激動、憤怒、憂慮或不安時，不會藉著食物來安慰自己。
3. 只吃真正的食物，而不是食品或是任何不能在家裡做的菜。
4. 不吃不喜歡的食物。
5. 不吃煮過頭、未煮熟、過鹹或過甜的食物。
6 . 通常只吃新鮮的食物。
7. 飯前或吃飯時不喝冰飲，因會減緩消化。
8. 只跟喜歡的人一起吃。
9. 不會邊看電視邊吃。
10. 不喜歡吃太飽的感覺，七分飽時就停止進食。
11. 咀嚼和放緩速度。每餐應該需30至45分鐘。咀嚼至食物幾乎是液體，可以幫助消化和吸收最多的養分。

1. Eat when you're hungry.

Next time you feel like eating, ask if your desire for food is coming from your mind or from your body. If your brain is looking for an escape, find another non-caloric activity that helps you feel good. If food was the answer to boredom, get engaged in something fun. If food was the answer to exhaustion, rest your eyes, stretch, drink water, or take a break. If you're hungry, eat.

2. Don’t eat when you’re stressed out, emotional, angry, worried or upset.

Your digestion works when you’re relaxed, not when you’re upset. You can either digest or be stressed, not both.

3. Eat (mostly) real food, not food “products” or anything that you couldn’t make at home.

OK, you might not be an amazing baker, but you could probably whip up some gluten-free, naturally sweetened cupcakes, right? Could you make a Twinkie without professional, industrial equipment? Nope.

4. Avoid foods you don’t like, even if you think you should eat them.

Your body and brain will rebel and ask for treats later because you were “so good” and ate that dandelion green salad. Instead, have the red bell pepper or green beans and your body will be less likely to have a tantrum.

5. Skip foods that are overcooked, undercooked, over-salted, overly sweet, or just badly cooked.

Avoid badly cooked foods, which usually means learning how to cook simple foods for yourself at home, or eating at quality places. When you eat food that’s cooked well, by people who love to cook, it tastes better and feels better.

6. Eat mostly fresh foods.

Meals from frozen, packaged or canned containers aren’t vital and enlivening. They don’t have as many nutrients, and they’re usually overly salted and limp. Give yourself the fresh stuff.

7. Skip the iced water or cold drink before and during a meal.

This means asking for water with no ice at most American restaurants. Frigid liquid inhibits the digestive fire and slows digestion.

8. Eat with people you like, where you like.

Eating is an intimate act. We take nourishment into our bodies with the food, and conversation that comes with it. Choose your lunch and dinner partners by asking yourself who feels good to be around. If you can’t find anyone nice to eat with, go eat outside or look out the window.

9. Avoid watching TV when you eat.

Not only will you eat more calories when you zone out, but many TV shows trigger negative, stressful emotions that mess up our digestion. Reality TV especially causes us to judge the contestants and ourselves, which makes our bodies feel stressed. Remember: Your digestive system shuts down when you’re stressed out: you can either digest or be stressed, but you can’t do both. (See Rule #2)

10. Stop eating when you’re full.

Feeling uncomfortably stuffed after a meal negates any pleasure you would have gotten from the meal. If your stomach was a bucket, eat until you're at 70%. This is nourished, but not too full. Save any leftovers for later, when you'll enjoy them more.

11. Breathe, chew and slow down.

How long do you take to eat your meals? Double it. Each meal should take 30 to 45 minutes to eat. This is easier to do when you sit at a table rather than at your desk or on the couch. Chewing until your food is almost liquid helps you digest better and absorb the most nutrients.

金钱，现实和爱情

终于有人能把钱，现实，爱情分析的如此透。

韩寒说，他不会让自己的女友去上班。因为或许有一天你定了餐厅，买了电影票，约女友晚上去吃个晚餐，看部电影。但是女友的领导晚上要陪客户应酬，需要带你女友一起。那么你的计划就泡汤了，她就不能陪你去吃晚餐，看电影。
　　
　　领导有错吗？没有，那是为了生意。女友有错吗？没有，那是为了饭碗。
　　
　　想避免这样的事发生，那么你就需要一个人赚两个人的钱。
　　
　　社会就是那么残酷。
　　
　　我现在很有必要买个摩托车，其实，我不是那么需要。走走路，我也习惯。但我女友不习惯。那么早上别人会骑车去接她，晚上别人会送她。
　　
　　她有错吗？没有，她只是不喜欢走路罢了。别人有错吗？没有，别人只是好心搭下朋友而已。
　　
　　现实就是那么苍白。
　　
　　我有一个朋友，以前没把爱情当回事，三心二意。可有一个女人改变了他，他变得专一，他认为找到真爱。爱情改变了他，却改变不了命运。他女友需要去外地打工。而这无尽的思念，却是金钱可以轻易改变的。
　　
　　有钱，挚爱可以近在眼前；无钱，挚爱却远走天边。
　　
　　他女友有错吗？没有，人活着必须为了生活而奔波。 爱情在金钱面前变得无奈。
　　
　　而我的另一个朋友，为了前途。远走他乡，走之前伤心难过，拜托我照顾好他女友。他说，那是他唯一的不舍。可走了不过个把月，却分手了，很多人觉得无法理解。
　　
　　他到底错了吗？没有，这样的异地恋毕竟缺少沟通，难有结果，再说一个男人，客走他乡，无朋无友，怎会不孤独？如果不是为了钱，谁愿背井离乡？如果有钱，或许他们会在一起很久很久。
　　
　　爱情因为金钱而悲伤。
　　
　　我经常开一个玩笑：
　　
　　如果你以后没出息，你女朋友愿意跟着你喝稀饭吗？退一万步说，她愿意跟你喝稀饭，你又甘心看着她跟你喝稀饭吗？就算你能忍心，那我们再退一万步说，她父母会同意女儿一天跟你喝稀饭吗？
　　
　　爱情是美好的，生活是现实的。
　　
　　最近很多电视台都在播出相亲节目，很多女人和家长问的第一个问题是有没有房。没有房就别谈了。无房无缘份，其他条件再好，性格再般配也是白搭。 其实这不是是和男人相亲。这是在和房子相亲。男人不过是房子的附属品罢了。
　　
　　有房人终成眷属，无房人终成房奴。
　　
　　我看过一个采访，主持人问男嘉宾，你为什么那么在乎钱，男嘉宾说：钱能买到一切。
　　
　　现场的观众哗然了。
　　
　　男嘉宾举了个例子：
　　
　　你的仇人爱上了你的女友，现在想要你退出，那个男人愿意出一点钱来补偿你。
　　
　　所有的观众都表示不屑。
　　
　　男人开出了第一个价格:五万。
　　
　　观众都笑了，为了五万放弃爱情？放弃人格？所有的人都不约而同的否定了。
　　
　　男人接着开出了第二个价格：五十万。
　　
　　现场的声音小了很多，一部分的人开始沉默，过了好一会，绝大多数的男人依然选择否定，他身边的女友感动的看着他。只有少数的人接受了这五十万，其中的一个人说：“自己没有钱，父母苦了一辈子了，临老了生病没钱医治，为了父母，放弃了爱情吧。”
　　
　　男人接着开出了第三个价格：五百万。
　　
　　现场更静了，一半的男人沉默了，另一半的男人怯生生的说:“我要爱情。”身边的女友也有点呆住了，一个女孩子站起来说：“如果一个男人肯出五百万，我想我没有理由拒绝他。”沉默的男人选择了金钱，五百万可以买一套房子，一部车子，全家过上好日子，甚至可以开始自己的事业。一个男人说：“他是我的仇人，我有了这个五百万，我可以含辛茹苦，报仇雪恨，我可以计划我所有的未来，当个真正主宰自己的男人。”一些女人看着身边的男人，若有所思。
　　
　　男人接着开出了第四个价格:五千万。
　　
　　全场哗然了，女人说:“有肯为我一掷五千万的男人，他一定是爱我的，这样有钱又专一的男人，为什么不选择呢。”一个男人举手:“他真的肯付五千万？”在得到肯定的回答后，男人说:“爱情是无价的，但是我没有能力给女友一个美好的生活，别人有，我应该放弃，并且我有了这许多的钱，我可以做很多有意义的事情，我可以成就自己的事业”所有的人都深以为然。
　　
　　只有一个人依然选择了放弃，所有的人都用很奇怪的目光看他，他解释到：“我的爱情是无价的”，当问到他的女友是否感动的时候，女友说：“我虽然感动，但我更感动的是为了我付出自己五千万的人，而不是放弃别人的五千万，他的观点很可敬，但不现实。”
　　
　　嘉宾笑了笑，你们所有的人都选择了金钱。
　　
　　有些事给你一千块就侮辱了你，一万块就是尊重你，十次的侮辱等于尊重？
　　
　　其实，钱买走的并不是他们的爱情，而是所有权，爱情依然存在，只是人已不属于你。
　　
　　我一直记得男嘉宾的最后一句话:
　　
　　我是一个相信爱情的人，努力挣钱只是不希望我的爱情受到别人金钱的考验罢了。

臉上不同的部位長痘痘代表什麼？ What Are Your Pimple Breakouts Telling You?

皮膚是身體最大的器官，學習自己皮膚與健康的關聯，藉著飲食和生活方式的改變，絕對可以幫助肌膚保持在最佳狀況。
1. 額頭上：往往是壓力過大或睡眠太少導致，確保有充足的睡眠。
2. 眉毛上方：代表免疫系統。可能在感冒時或感冒前後冒出來，放慢步驟幾天，多喝水，多吃增強免疫力的食物。
3. 眉毛之間：吃太多垃圾食物或食物過敏所引起的。減少糖、乳製品和酒精的攝取量。
4. 臉頰：呼吸系統。吸煙或是呼吸到髒空氣。
5. 下巴：下巴兩側都受荷爾蒙影響。通常可能是月事不順或在月事時出現。

1. Forehead. Breakouts across the forehead are often triggered by stress or sleep deprivation. Make sure to log 7 to 9 hours of beauty rest a night to keep your forehead clear.

2. Above the brow. The area above the brow is affected by your immune system. Breakouts here tend to happen right before, after, or during a cold or flu. If you notice a breakout in this zone, slow down for a couple days, drink plenty of water and eat these 10 immune boosting foods.

3. Between brows. Breakouts between the brows can be caused by overindulgence of unhealthy foods or a food allergy. Cutting back on sugar, dairy, rich foods, and alcohol can help clear up skin in this zone.

4. Cheeks. Your cheeks are linked to your respiratory system. Smoking or breathing polluted air can cause breakouts here.

5. Side of chin. The sides of your chin are affected by hormones. Breakouts here occur around the time of your period and happen on one side or another depending on which ovary is ovulating that month.

超重的24個原因 The 24 reasons why you are overweight

1. 吃太多健康但高熱量的食物：堅果、酪梨、全麥麵食、橄欖油和黑巧克力是全天然、健康的，但它們的熱量也可能很高。例如，一個酪梨就超過200卡路里，所以無論健康愈否，都要節制。
2. 不吃早餐：想節省熱量，但卻讓身體守住脂肪，新陳代謝減緩。選擇含有蛋白質和纖維的早餐，以持續能源。
3. 份量太大：控制份量是成功減重的重要關鍵。一開始可能需要量杯和湯匙的幫助，以確保份量是正確的。
4. 站著吃：導致無意識的飲食。最好有個固定的小吃時間。...
5. 睡眠不足：影響身體控制胃口的能力，增加刺激食慾的激素。
6. 吃太多低脂食物：有較低的卡路里，但可能含太多的鈉或化學添加劑。
7. 沒有吃足夠的蔬菜：每天至少吃五到七份，因為植物性食物為主的飲食能提供低卡高纖的營養素。
8. 運動不足：散步15分鐘，有總比沒有好，但若要有真正的效果，每天至少得做30分鐘的有氧運動。
9. 沒有把食物切開，就大口吃：研究發現，小口小口的吃，會吃得較少，也較有滿足感。
10. 沒有戒汽水或高熱量飲料：沒有營養好處，但卻是破壞減重目標的主因之一。
11. 伴侶有不同的飲食習慣：若減重時有個伴，效果更佳。但若另一半喜歡外食、吃零食，那你減重的過程會更辛苦。
12. 喜歡在食物上加調味料和配料：沙拉是健康的，但若加上培根、乾果、起司等等，然後再加上一大匙的高熱量沙拉醬，卡路里當然劇增。
13. 不喝水：餐前喝水有助控制食量，增加飽足感。
14. 你沒有任何樂趣：壓力過大時容易被高糖、高脂的食品誘惑，導致體重增加。
15. 不夠堅持：減重時不能三心二意，又期望看到結果。
16. 總是在吃：吃是你的放鬆方式。
17. 沒有記食物日記：無法準確的知道吃了多少。
18. 空腹運動：研究發現，空腹運動燃燒的熱量來自於肌肉，而不是脂肪。
19. 只有做心肺運動，而忽略重量訓練：重量訓練不僅可防止關節損傷，也可建立肌肉質量和增加代謝率。
20. 沒有專心的進食：電腦或電視可能讓你忘了自己吃了多少。
21. 衣服穿太大：舒適寬鬆的衣服掩蓋了身材，讓你忘了多出來的贅肉。
22. 一直處在飢餓狀態：可能會導致暴飲暴食，混淆新陳代謝。
23. 放棄某個食物群：可導致營養缺乏。
24. 運動後多吃了：小吃就只是小吃，要限制在150卡路里內。
成功減重意味著健康飲食和偶爾放縱之間找到一個平衡點。你有犯了哪些錯誤？

Even if you've kicked off a fitness routine and you're choosing healthier food, you may not be seeing the weight come off the way you'd hoped. One or a few of these 25 weight-loss culprits may be all that's standing in the way of your weight-loss goals.

1. YOU OVEREAT HEALTHY FOODS

Nuts, avocados, whole wheat pasta, olive oil, and dark chocolate are all natural and healthy, but they aren't void of calories. You still need to watch how much you eat of the good stuff. For example, avocado offers a lot of health benefits, but an entire fruit is over 200 calories.

2. YOU DON'T EAT BREAKFAST

Skipping breakfast may seem like a great way to save calories, but your body will actually hold onto fat because it thinks it's being starved. Keep in mind that people who eat breakfast regularly lose more weight, so make sure to eat breakfast each morning to jump-start your metabolism. Don't just grab anything; include protein to give yourself sustainable energy and fibre to fill you up for hours.

3. YOUR PORTIONS ARE TOO BIG

When it comes to a balanced diet, we know that portion control is one of the keys to success. Keep measuring cups and spoons on hand to make sure your serving sizes are appropriate, and learn how to give your body the "I'm full" signal in order to help you drop the fork when the time is right.

4. YOU EAT STANDING UP

Standing at the fridge or the counter to chow down isn't saving time or energy and can lead to mindless eating. It's best to designate time for snacking and meals that's set apart from other activities.

5. YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP

Making time for your workouts can mean less time for sleep, but it's important to get enough Z's if you're trying to lose weight. You need extra energy to keep up with your exercise routine, and skimping on sleep can affect your body's ability to control its appetite: not enough shut-eye increases appetite-stimulating hormones.

6. YOU OVERINDULDGE IN LOW-FAT FOODS

Going for foods with a lower calorie count can be deceiving, since many times they're filled with extra sodium, sugar, or chemical additives to make up for the ingredients the company has removed or decreased. Not only are these light versions less nutritious, but they also end up tasting "lighter," leading you to eat more. You'll probably end up consuming more calories than you would if you just ate a regular-sized portion of the real thing.

7. YOU DON'T EAT ENOUGH VEGETABLES

Eating five to seven servings of fruits and veggies a day is important for everyone, but dieters who go heavy on the produce are more likely to lose and keep the weight off, since a diet full of plant-based foods offers a greater variety of nutrients with fewer calories - and all that fiber keeps the body feeling fuller longer.

8. YOU THINK WALKING THE DOG IS ENOUGH

A 15-minute stroll is better than nothing, but don't expect to see dramatic weight-loss results. You've got to kick it up a notch - big time - and do at least 30 minutes a day of heart-pumping exercise. Big calorie and fat burners include running, spin class, interval training, hiking, and circuit training.

Ad Feedback 9. YOU DON'T CUT YOUR FOOD

Something as simple as slicing up your dinner can be helpful for your overeating woes. Cutting food into tiny pieces may seem slightly childish, but studies show that humans find smaller portions more satisfying and, as a result, are satisfied with less.

10. YOU STILL DRINK SOFT DRINKS

Soft drinks offer no nutritional benefits and continuing to drink them is sabotaging your weight-loss goals - even if you only drink diet ones. Studies have shown that individuals who drink two diet soft drinks a day or more had waistlines that were 50 per cent larger than the non-drinkers.

11. YOUR PARTNER ISN'T ON THE SAME PATH

A partner who's on a similar path can be a huge help to your weight-loss goals, but if your partner is not on board, then your relationship may be making you fat.

You can't expect to lose weight if your partner constantly suggests ordering takeout, wants to go out for ice cream, or encourages you to sleep in instead of hitting the gym! Communicating that you need their support in losing weight is a great first step in finding compromises - for both of you. For starters, the next time you have dinner out, offer to split an entree or skip dessert.

12. YOU'RE ADDICTED TO CONDIMENTS AND TOPPINGS

A salad is one of the healthiest meals you can have, but when you top it with bacon bits, goat cheese, nuts, dried fruits, and dressing, you can double the calorie amount in a flash. Be aware of how many calories your favorite salad extras add on. For instance, 10 croutons is an easy 100 calories.

13. YOU DON'T DRINK WATER

Besides keeping you hydrated, drinking water on the regular, according to recent studies, can aid with weight loss. Filling up on water before a meal helps encourage portion control, and eating foods that contain a lot of water (like fruits and veggies) will fill you up faster, causing you to eat less.

14. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FUN

Since stress can cause weight gain by triggering the body to eat more - especially foods high in sugar and fat - make sure you give yourself time to relax and unwind. And it's an added bonus that so many fun activities (like dancing, hiking, and shopping) are already natural calorie-burners!

15. YOU'RE SORT OF ON A DIET

Whether you're on Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, or your own diet-and-exercise plan, you can't do it halfheartedly and expect to see results. Stay committed to your plan, or you'll see the kilos pile on instead of dropping from the scale.

16. YOU'RE ALWAYS EATING OUT

Hitting your favourite restaurant is a great way to unwind, but you're more likely to indulge in a huge meal complete with starters, drinks, fried foods, and dessert.

17. YOU DON'T KEEP A FOOD DIARY

Writing down what you eat is an essential way to monitor daily caloric intake. Don't think it's worth the effort? A study from the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics surveyed 123 women and found that those who were the most successful at losing weight monitored their food intake by keeping a journal.

18. YOU EXERCISE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

If you regularly exercise without eating first, you should reconsider: when you work out on an empty stomach, research shows that the calories burned come from muscle, not fat. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, the more muscle mass you have, the better it is for weight loss. Not only will fueling your body help you avoid losing muscle, but also, you'll have more energy to push yourself through your workout.

19. YOU ONLY DO CARDIO

If you live on the treadmill but never lift a weight, then you're missing out on one of the most important pieces of the fitness puzzle. Not only does weight training prevent injury by strengthening the joints, but it also builds muscle mass and increases metabolic rate. Bonus: thanks to a revved-up metabolism, you'll keep burning calories long after you've slipped off your sneakers.

20. YOU EAT WITHOUT THINKING

Aligning mealtime with a screen like your computer or the TV can be hurt your weight-loss goals. Designating a special time for meals without distractions will help you connect to your food and, as a result, eat less. Sometimes you don't even realise how much you're scarfing when your mind is somewhere else.

21. YOUR CLOTHES ARE TOO BIG

Loose clothes are comfy, but they cover up the body and allow you to forget what you look like, which can work against your fitness motivation. Instead, opt for clothes that have a more fitted silhouette to help give you a sense of your body image. Or, better yet, start the day in your gym outfit to inspire you to do something active.

22. YOU DON'T EAT ENOUGH

Don't starve yourself to save calories for later. It'll not only mess up your metabolism, and by dinnertime, that famished feeling will likely cause you to eat more than you would if you weren't starving. Not only is starving yourself not sustainable for continued weight loss, but also, limiting yourself to too-small portions can lead to excess snacking between mealtimes.

23. YOU LEAVE OUT ENTIRE FOOD GROUPS

Giving up entire food groups can lead to a nutritional deficiency - not to mention trigger major cravings for whatever food has been cut. Rather than, say, eliminating all carbohydrates, focus on whole grains and remember to monitor portion control. Usually it's the extra servings that add to your waistline, not the pasta itself.

24. YOU NEVER TREAT YOURSELF

In an otherwise healthy diet, eating a few french fries or a piece of chocolate cake isn't going to ruin your weight-loss goals. A study found that it isn't necessary to up workout intensity the day after a piece of cake and that a daily variance of as much as 600 calories won't reflect on your waistline, as long as you maintain a healthy diet in the long run.

25. YOU EAT THE WRONG POST-WORKOUT SNACKS

A post-workout snack is just that - a snack. And unless it's mealtime, what you eat after an average workout should be around 150 calories. Since healthy foods like trail mix can be high in calories, measure out a serving instead of mindlessly chomping straight out of the bag.

一個健康的關係，讓人感到快樂和滿足 20 Bad Habits That Hurt Your Relationship

1. 不要試圖”改善”對方，也不要期望不切實際的改變。提醒他鋪床是一回事，但要他從宅男變成陽光男孩又是另一回事。
2. 不要在大家面前爭吵，使周圍的人都覺得彆扭。
3. 良性溝通是健康關係的一部分，但若怕衝突而完全不溝通，反而會造成問題的堆積。
4. 積怨不僅傷害關係，也會造成不必要的壓力和焦慮。要學習忘記和原諒。
5. 選擇適當的時間和地點討論重要問題。
6. 關係是給予和接受，但不需要一筆一筆記錄下誰做的多或做的少。
7. 不要過於戲劇化，心平氣和地才能解決問題。
8. 關係要能持久，信任是關鍵。尊重彼此的隱私，不要老是偷看他的手機。
9. 不要因在一起久了，覺得很安全，就不在乎自己的外表。
10. 不要拿他與前任做比較。
12. 對自己誠實。
13. 不健康的關係可以導致自卑，避免這種危險關係。
14. 不要把對方視為理所當然。適時的表示感激和重視，只會增進感情。

1. Trying to improve him/her. News flash: There's no such thing as a perfect person, so don't expect unrealistic changes. Reminding him or her to make the bed is one thing, but trying to radically change shyness or anxiety is another — and could be ignoring the underlying causes for those issues in the first place.

2. Finding faults with the fam. The 'rents may be harder to handle than your significant other. But even if there's some clashing of heads, don't focus on the family's faults. Getting criticism from family members can make people feel depressed and hostile — which means some tense holiday dinners. Besides, the situation can't be worse than what Gaylord went through in Meet the Parents.

3. Engaging in constant PDA. Getting it on in public can not only make bystanders uncomfortable, it may also compensate for a lack of real communication. Stick to hand-holding and quick kisses, and save the rest for the bedroom (or the cell phone?).

4. Fighting in public. As if PDA weren't bad enough. Arguing in public can embarrass the couple and make everyone around feel awkward, too. Talk it out in private, please.

5. Avoiding fighting. Love isn't all good, all the time. Disagreements are bound to happen, and arguments can be a healthy part of a relationship. Never having conflict may make compromise impossible. Just don't make fighting an all-day affair.

6. Not talking it out. If something is wrong, the other person probably can't read your mind. When a problem comes up, speak up at the right time. One study suggests young couples are less stressed when they talk out their issues than when they keep their feelings bottled up. And don't forget to say, "I love you." Expressing emotions — positive and negative — can benefit that bond.

7. Forgetting to forgive. People make mistakes, and holding on to grudges may not only hurt a relationship — it could also cause unwanted stress and anxiety. Sympathy may be easier to give if we realize it will benefit our health.

8. Timing discussions badly. Conversations about important issues, like relationship expectations and financial blunders, all have their time and place. Don't bring up serious topics when someone's stressed, like at the end of the workday or right before hosting a party. Set up a time to talk when both people are relaxed.

9. Keeping score. Sure, relationships should be about give and take, but don't keep track of every little detail (For example: I paid for the last six dinners, and you only paid for five!). It can cause unnecessary tension.

10. Being melodramatic. No relationship is perfect. So don't create unnecessary drama in every scenario. If a mate forgets to take out the garbage, there's no need for a scene. Take a few breaths and address the problem calmly.

11. Spying. When two people want to make it work, trust is key. Have confidence in your mate and respect their privacy: Don’t snoop through texts, emails, or bedroom drawers. (Definitely don’t use this!)

12. Allowing jealousy to take over. Doubting your partner may be a symptom of a larger problem: relationship insecurity. And women who feel insecure in their relationships may be at greater risk for health issues like a weakened immune system. Some advice for reducing envy, at least temporarily? Stay off Facebook and other social networking sites.

13. Letting go. Sometimes when partners feel too secure with each other, they end up putting on a few pounds, possibly because they’re less physically active. Try being a power couple to stay both happy and healthy.

14. Constantly comparing. Forget the ex and stop comparing a current partner with a person from the past. This could lead to unrealistic expectations.

15. Doing everything together. Everyone needs some alone time (yep, even hopelessly devoted couples). Solitude may even enhance relationships, making time together more valuable.

16. Lying. Little white lies can add up and ruin a relationship that should be built on honesty. There is wiggle room, of course: “Sweetie, that homemade dinner tasted great…”

17. Not being honest with yourself. Don’t just be honest with a companion. Stay real about what you need in order to stay satisfied. Is a long distance relationship really worth the work? Is it okay that they’re working all the time?

18. Lacking self-confidence. Not feeling confident in a relationship can really do some damage: Low self-esteem is sometimes linked to low sex drive, which could make things less heated in the bedroom. Getting active, setting goals, and even smiling can improve self-confidence. But don’t forget that an unhealthy relationship can actually cause low-self esteem, so steer clear of someone who makes you feel less than great.

19. Forgetting why you’re in it. Remember to ask yourself why you two are dating, and what you want out of it. Does a partner want to put a ring on it while you want to remain casual? Being with someone for the wrong reasons is one slippery slope!

20. Taking him or her for granted. Always remember why you love that special someone. Showing gratitude and paying attention to that good person by your side will only make the relationship stronger
