壓力的調理
§臀肌的鬆弛
【高低肩的問題】
很多人在日常生活或工作的時候，做事做一下就覺得上半身不舒服，原因在那裏？
我們先找一位同修上來，然後用食指緊靠著脖子往肩膀內側壓下去，壓到不能再壓；然後往中間平行劃線，另一手也去壓另一邊肩膀並往中間平行劃線。各位看它平衡不平衡？當然不平衡！因為右邊比較高，這就是「高低肩」！
【鬆弛臀肌可以矯正高低肩】
然後請這位同修趴下來。因為他的右肩比較高，所以用手肘在他的左邊臀部中間輕輕地揉幾次；再往外側移一點，也是用手肘輕輕地揉幾下；然後請他站起來。我們再看看他的肩膀—我的手指緊靠著兩邊脖子往肩膀內側壓下來，再往脖子中間平行劃過來，它已恢復為平的了！為什麼？因為這位先生的左邊臀部肌肉是在僵硬的狀態，當他坐久了，越來越僵硬，結果身體就往右邊偏來保持平衡，所以右邊的肩膀就高起來。
像剛才這麼簡單的一個動作、一個調整，就把臀肌和肩膀的壓力鬆掉了。這就是為什麼我們在養生的時候，強調「臀肌運動」要做好；如果確確實實做好了，就可以免除下面臀部的痛苦，以及上半身為了平衡造成肩膀的痛苦。往往我們並不自覺身體的毛病，只是感覺到那個地方不舒服，這是一種「粗的感覺」。
§咀嚼組織的鬆弛
【壓力造成顳下頷關節的問題】
當身體的結構不再穩定的時候，生理上出現的各種情況都足以解釋我們內在隱藏的毛病，但是我們不容易覺察它，因為它是累積的、漸進的、一步一步慢慢發展的。這些壓力、痛苦的隱藏，是一種「細的感覺」；它們在生理上表現出來的毛病就是一種「身體的語言」，它告訴我們一件事—我們的痛苦不是發完就算了；我們的痛苦發完了也沒有了結，否則就不可能出現這樣的問題。如果壓力持續存在，往往就會產生另一種毛病。
我們的臉部有兩個很重要的組織：一個是「表情組織」〈眼睛部位〉，另一個是「咀嚼組織」〈嘴巴部位〉。如果我們有很多話罵不出口，會把壓力隱藏在這個「咀嚼組織」，到三更半夜的時候就咬牙、磨牙、說夢話，這時候「咀嚼組織」不再順利；日積月累的結果就發生偏頭痛、耳鳴、肩背痛，而自己完全不知道。這些毛病在牙醫叫作「顳下頷關節綜合症〈TMJ
Syndrome〉」。
因為壓力隱藏在顳下頷關節，使得這個地方一直在繃緊的狀態，只有在夜深人靜的時候，才會慢慢地釋放。長期下來，這個關節鬆了，會造成什麼結果呢？很容易下巴脫落！如果這個關節鬆了，使下面的牙齒沒有一個保護的皮帶，再加上細菌寄生，就會造成牙周病！所以，我們要學習一些方法，讓「咀嚼組織」的肌肉能夠有效地放鬆。
【頰車穴】
第一個需要放鬆的地方是「頰車穴」—從耳垂下面，往嘴巴的方向移過去一點，如果把嘴巴張開，好像有個東西鼓出來的地方。這個穴道主治：中風、咬牙磨牙、失音不語、口眼歪斜、頰腫、牙疼、頸不能回顧。找到這個穴道以後，就用手指從外面往裡面慢慢地揉。有沒有人壓下去會痛呢？會痛的人表示有壓力，也就是自己不知道的壓力。
【地倉穴】
第二個地方是「地倉穴」。在嘴巴旁邊有一條橫行的肌肉，從嘴角慢慢地斜到耳朵下面，組成了我們的咀嚼組織，控制了我們的「咀嚼」和「磨牙」的功能。這條肌肉的兩端是「地倉穴」跟「頰車穴」，靠嘴角的一端就是「地倉穴」。按摩的時候，用手指從嘴角開始，沿著嘴巴平行，慢慢地往外面拉一下，會「波！」地一聲，好像在彈兩條筋，照這樣做十下。
【顎肌】
「顎肌」，是從下巴沿著骨頭慢慢地往外，碰到腮部以前的地方。另一種找法是沿著「法令紋」往下劃到下顎骨的地方。這是第三個要按摩的地方，用手輕輕從上往下揉。這部份控制「咬斷」的功能。當我們不能切斷、有口難言、不平不能鳴，問題就出現，壓下去就會痛；所以也要讓它鬆掉！
§頭部的鬆弛
【前頂穴】
許多電腦族在坐在電腦面前，久而久之都會出現伸頭、駝背等的姿勢；這些不良的姿勢，在人體工學上會產生一個新的應力點，這個新的應力點就是我們的「前頂穴」。「前頂穴」主宰我們低頭跟抬頭的壓力。
找「前頂穴」一個簡單的方法就是先找到「百會穴」。「百會穴」就是從耳朵往上、跟從鼻子往上劃線，兩條線交接的地方；它是不能隨便壓的。從百會穴往前面，或是從髮際往上面一吋半或兩手指寬的地方，會碰到有個窪處，這就是「前頂穴」。找到「前頂穴」後輕輕揉二十下。如果電腦族伸頭、駝背的怪姿勢，頭蓋骨的骨縫會充血，對這個穴道造成的壓力最大，壓下去特別痛，因為它是個應力點；假如不能放鬆，情緒就不能控制，因為它是「督脈」的一個穴道。
【海綿竇區與頭側一穴】
另外一個地方在頭部的側面，叫「海綿竇區」，
是顱內的血庫，控制腦部血量的流通；所以當我們激動的時候，這地方的血就會集中、充滿。從眼角往後45°上去，有一個窪處，叫作「頭側一穴」。確定位置以後，就兩邊慢慢地、輕輕地揉，不要太用力，用力受不了的！⊕

§ 5. Allergens problem
【Common allergic reactions】
There are many types of
allergens. The two most common allergens are related to "air
allergies" and "food allergies".
An air allergy diagnosis is
relatively easy. Usually, a physician will test over one hundred
types of suspected allergens on the patient's back, and,
therefore, can quickly determine the relevant
allergens from the reactions on the patient's skin.
Food allergies, on the other hand, cannot necessarily be
immediately determined. Food allergies affect a very high
percentage of the population. According to statistics, around 25
to 50 million people suffer from food allergies in the U.S.
Among those, only about 20% can be diagnosed as allergies when
the symptoms are acute. Other people just have to suffer without
knowing their allergies. With food
allergy-related symptoms and diseases, including the so-called
"facial features and a variety of common symptoms," almost all
problems are related to food allergy!
【Chronic food allergies are
most formidable】
Food allergies are divided
into two types - "acute" and "chronic".
For example: There are
those who cannot eat seafood and such consumption of seafood
will cause hives. The attack of these acute allergic are quickly
known, so those individuals understand that they should not eat
seafood. However, some people cannot eat tomatoes, and eating
them could trigger reactions like heart attacks. These chronic
allergies usually take three to five days to attack, and the
speed of the attack is determined by the allergen concentration
in the blood. Therefore, although the symptoms are slow, it
continues for a long time, and could create very scary
situations!
Many patients with chronic
food allergies are unable to determine the cause even with the
help of many doctors. When they come to me, I would clearly
explain the concept of diet control and how to avoid eating
allergen products. By doing so, patients often slowly get
better.
【Diet therapy]
Most doctors often overlook
"Food control" and, instead, would rather discuss: "You have
this disease! Or likely that disease!" Then, when the patients
get better, they do not understand why the patient was cured!
What actually happens is that the allergen concentration slowly
decreases to a certain extent, and the allergic reaction will
reduce. Once the organs recover, many symptoms will disappear
completely.
We have dealt with some
cases of lupus
erythematosus. We don't
prescribe medicine and just recommend the method of not eating
allergies-causing products such that the
concentration of allergens decreases to a certain degree and the
disease slowly fades away.
Basically, this disease is
caused by chronic allergies and is a long fight. Because
patients often do not know when the disease occurs and what it
is, usually when realize that they have the disease, the
allergen concentration in the body is already too high. It
weakens the organ capabilities and the body needs a long time to
adjust and recover.
[Animal allergens in food]
Chronic allergy-related
foods include: "dairy products" such as milk, cheese, pizza,
cream butter. Followed by "fish” - catfish, eel, and milkfish
(these fish basically have no scales, and they mainly consume
waste). Then "shellfish" that include: shrimp, crab, oysters,
scallops, abalone; shrimp paste, fish sauce, and even oyster
sauce seasonings are counted. Finally, certain "proteins" are
also allergens.
【Vegetable allergens in
food]
Plant foods associated with
chronic allergies include:
Grains: corn, wheat, rye.
Citrus: oranges, mandarin
oranges, grapefruit,
pomelo.
Legumes: soybeans, peanuts,
and peanut butter.
Nuts: cashews, walnuts, almonds, pistachios.
Vegetables: tomatoes, green peppers, taro, sweet potatoes,
eggplant, pumpkin, leeks, Italian melon, cucumber.
Even everyone's favorite "chocolate", is an allergen!
[Metal canned food is
allergen]
Also, when one's body is
not in good condition, it is not wise to eat canned goods –
whether it's canned vegetables, canned fruit, or canned tuna.
The reason is because canned foods contain nickel, which is
extremely allergic to those who do not feel well!
A lot of people will ask:
"With so many restrictions, the things we can eat are very
limited. So how do we change our body's constitution?" The
answer is that it is best not abuse our body; otherwise the body
will take a long time to recover! However, do not be too nervous
about the foods you eat either. Not everyone should
comprehensively ban all those foods. Moreover, people are
different and not everyone has the same allergy problems with
the same products.
The best way to figure out
what one should and should not eat is to try more and to observe
more such that we can find out the real impact of allergens.
§
6. The problem of gas
production
[Reasons of Gas
production]
What causes gas production?
The production of gas is basically due to certain foods
containing a type of sugar that our bodies cannot break down.
The sugar is decomposed by intestinal bacterial and produces
gas. However, the production of gas is not important. The
important issue is whether the gas smells or not. If the gas
smells, it is necessary to pay special attention – because it
indicates a hot and humid constitution
(濕熱性的體質)
!
A hot and humid
constitution is bad for your health. In summary, gas production
means certain foods can't be used by our body. They reside in
our bodies for a long time, and are used by bacteria. These
metabolites produced go through the portal vein into the liver.
They can damage our livers and have a bad effect on our
constitution.
[Gas production food]
Common products that
produce gas include: corn, cucumber, leek, green peppers,
soybeans, dairy products. Many of these products are in common
with products that cause allergies. So, when our constitution is
not very good, we should not eat
these products. We can
avoid the problem of gas production at the same time.
As to so-called “anti-cancer
foods” such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, the
best way to prepare them is to smash and cook it. One can avoid
digestive and gas production problems caused by the crude fiber.
§ 7. Trypsin inhibitors (胰蛋白酶抑制劑)
Beans, barley and other
cereals contain “trypsin inhibitors." Due to these inhibitors,
it is suggested that store-bought soy bean milk need to be
boiled for 15 minutes prior to consumption.
【Function of trypsin
inhibitor
】
Why are
“Trypsin inhibitors” so important? Our pancreas secretes an enzyme
that breaks down proteins called trypsin. If one consumes
“trypsin inhibitors," those inhibitors will cause the enzyme to
not function; subsequently, the enzyme will not be able to break
down the proteins and one will not be able to take advantage of
these proteins. Instead, the proteins will be decomposed by
bacteria, which produce toxins and cause damage to the liver.
【Heat
can destroy trypsin inhibitors]
Generally, those with
lactose intolerance purchase commercial soymilk from
supermarkets expecting soymilk to be healthy and provide the
necessary nutrients for the body. However, that is often not the
case because, oftentimes, the cooking time of store-bought
soymilk is not enough! Therefore, store-bought soymilk needs to
be cooked for an additional fifteen minutes to destroy the
trypsin inhibitors.
Similarly, when we make
“black soybean and brown rice milk," we have to boil the milk
for over 30 minutes. If one does not continuously boil the milk
for 30 minutes, the drink not only misses its purpose of being a
supplementary protein, but it may also cause further digestive
problems!
For many, it is surprising
to find out that the "cooking time” for soybeans is actually 3
hours! In addition, it is best to cook mung beans for one to two
hours. Further, since red beans are especially difficult to
cook, we suggest to cook them for about one and a half to two
hours! The reason all of these products need to be cooked for a
long time is to solve the trypsin inhibitor problem.
Barley is something worthy
of praise. The constitution of modern people is relatively
"wet", and barley's diuresis-promoting property (利濕)
can remove the “wet” syndromes of us modern people. Barley
belongs in the cereals category and also contains trypsin
inhibitors. Therefore, if barley is not cooked for more than an
hour, it will be consumed in vain! Moreover, barley (薏仁) needs to be cook together with
gorgon (芡實), so that it will not
hurt the body.
§ 8. Other issues
[Moderation in consuming
spicy food]
Some foods that may affect
the stomach should be consumed with caution. For example, eating
chili is good; however, it is suggested to not eat too much,
because chili irritates the stomach.
[Vegetarian problem]
For many people, when they
become vegetarian, they feel very comfortable in the beginning.
However, after some time, they find that their stomachs become
more irritated than when they were eating meat. This is because
a vegetarian diet typically contains a lot of high-fiber foods;
foods that will scrape stomach!
Also, most of the
vegetarian foods are cold (寒性)
and the cold changes our constitution and makes it more
difficult for our stomachs to digest. Moreover, if vegetarians
eat fried food, those foods will cause additional injury to the
stomach. In fact, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
(長庚醫院) found that the proportion
of vegetarians with gastroenterological diseases may be more
than the average non-vegetarian population. Therefore, if one
wants to become a vegetarian, one must be smart. One must have a
good understanding his or her own physical constitution and
choose suitable foods to protect oneself and will achieve the
purpose of improving the body. Do not blindly follow the
opinions of others that argue that as long as one is a
vegetarian, that person must be healthier. In fact,
your stomach and intestines
could be suffering, but you do not know!
§ 9. Beverages
[Tea and coffee]
Caffeine is coffee's main
ingredient and tea also contains a smaller amount of it.
Caffeine increases contractions of the stomach. Therefore, if
one consumes a cup of coffee or tea after dinner, it may help
digestion. However, drinking those refreshments with an empty
stomach may be bad.
The main ingredient of tea
is Tannic acid. Tannic acid makes the stomach stiff and
immovable. When coffee beans or tea leaves are soaked in water,
caffeine is quickly released, however, the tea leaves need to be
soaked a little longer before tannins are released. Since
ancient times, the elders said "do not drink overnight tea.” It
comes from the idea that the longer
tea
leaves are soaked, the more tannic acid is released and causing
more injury to the stomach. Therefore, when one drinks tea, dip
a tea bag into a cup of hot water twice, then taken out. Why? We
want caffeine to be released, but not the tannic acid.
In conclusion, we must
grasp key points to be able to enjoy the benefits of these two
drinks: the fragrance and the helping in digestion, and avoid
the tannic acid!
[Fending off the cold with
stomach warning drinks (驅寒、暖胃)]
In cold weather, one may
wish to drink "longan tea or jujube tea" and adding a pinch of
cinnamon or cloves. It tastes good and balances our cold bodies.
In addition, "ginger jujube tea” is also a delicious
warm-stomach drink the can also change one's constitution. To
prepare "ginger jujube tea,” one needs to make "ginger jujube
paste” in advance.
The recipe of "ginger
jujube paste"
(薑棗泥)
is as follows:
First, wash and soak
jujubes and remove the pit (jujube's pit is cold). Cut ginger
into cubes; ground the ginger in a blender with some water.
Boil the ground ginger and squeeze out the ginger
juice. Mix the ginger
together with the jujubes (Note: one pound jujube with about
with one pound of ginger). Use low heat to boil the ginger and
jujubes until soft. Put the concoction into a juicer (juice
extractor) to separate out the jujube peel because the jujube
skin is bad for digestion. Finally, use medium heat and simmer
the jujube paste. Continuously and slowly stir the jujube paste
to remove the water content. The consistency of the jujube paste
should end up to be the same as the consistency of red bean
paste.
Once the "Ginger JuJube
Paste (薑棗泥)"
is done, put the paste into a container and refrigerate. One can
scoop out a little bit of the paste at a time and mix it with
hot water for drinking. Of course, you can also mix in a little
clove, cinnamon, or longan!

對降膽固醇藥物Statin的新警告
美國食品藥物管理局〈FDA〉
於2012年二月正式宣佈：服用降膽固醇的藥物Statin，會增加得II
型糖尿病機率並可能影響記憶力。 Statin這類藥物包括atorvastatin
〈Lipitor and generic〉，lovastatin
〈Mevacor and
generic〉及simvastatin〈Zocor
and generic〉。
很多臨床研究發現服用Statin的一組比起控制組，前者血糖升高的危險性增加。其中有項大規模的Jupiter試驗〈用Statin作為預防性治療藥物的試驗〉：研究員發現服用Rosuvastatin
〈Crestor〉組與控制組相比，前者得II型糖尿病的比率比後者高百分之二十五。
一些研究報告指出參與試驗者〈年齡超過五十歲〉在服用Statin後有記憶衰退的問題；停藥後問題消失。
FDA在Statin
的藥物說明書中本來建議服用者要定期作肝功能檢查。這項建議已被去除，因為定期檢查並不能即早發現或預防肝損傷。〈在開始服用Statin
前，還是應該要做肝酶檢查。〉
對降低膽固醇，我們一向是建議先改變生活方式―健康飲食及運動。FDA
對Statin的新警告更強調我們建議的重要性。即使還是得服藥，生活方式的改變可減少藥量或將副作用降到最低。《摘譯自Consumer
Reports on Health, June, 2012

鈣補充劑與心臟病發作的危險性
一般都建議年長者，尤其是年長女性要攝取鈣質以防止骨折。但是愈來愈多的研究數據指出鈣片可能增加得心臟病的機率。
一項發表在心臟期刊（Journal Heart）的營養與癌症危險性的研究：針對二萬三千九百八十德國成人的資料整理〈平均十一年的追蹤〉，發現每天飲食中含820毫克鈣者比飲食中都不含鈣者得心臟病機率較低。但是超過1100毫克者卻不能減少得心臟病危險性。此外，研究員發現那些按時服用鈣補充劑者，得心臟病的危險性，比不服用任何鈣補充劑者高出百分之八十六。最明顯的是那些服用單純的鈣補充劑族群。意味著補充劑本身，而非鈣攝取量提高得心臟病危險性。這項研究報告作者猜測:
相對於從食物中攝取鈣的緩慢過程；服用鈣補充劑時，血中鈣突然大幅度上升可能是造成心臟病發作的原因。
重點：我們還須要有更多的研究確定鈣補充劑與心臟病有關。但上述這項研究與之前的一些研究結果吻合；鈣補充劑與心臟病發作有關。這就提醒我們從食物中攝取營養素是比較優質及安全。目前美國預防工作小組〈U.S.
Preventive Task Force〉的立場是：對大多數人，鈣補充劑可能不會減少骨折危險性。如果您還在服用鈣補充劑，請教醫生是否還要繼續服用。

影響心律的藥物
很多藥物都會影響使心臟跳動的正常電波。最常見的問題是藥物使心臟放電及充電時間增長。也就是EKG圖裏的QT段變長。可能引起心律不整，眩暈甚至死亡。不同藥物混合或過量會增高危險性。
下表列出的會造成嚴重心律不整的藥物。如果您服用任何一種，而感到心臟跳得太快，太慢，不規律或是突然頭暈請立刻打電話給您的醫生。一定要請教醫生，不可自行停藥。

瑜伽的對心房顫動的安靜效果
以下是訪問肯薩斯大學醫學院，心臟醫學副教授 Dhanunjaya Lekkireddy, MD的內容。
◆
什麼是心房顫動（Atrial Fibrillation
簡稱AF）AF是心房不正常的跳動，通常是非常快。它不會威脅生命，可是會引起以下症狀：呼吸短促，疲倦，甚至胸痛。造成AF
的原因包括：遺傳，糖尿病，高血壓，甲狀腺疾病，嚴重壓力，飲酒，心肌炎，心臟瓣膜疾病。
◆
為什麼您會研究瑜伽對心房顫動的效果？
我的一些帶心律監視器的病人，發現他們在練習瑜伽時，心房顫動就不會發生。我起初也不相信，但當我研究瑜伽對人體治療效果，才覺得有道理。AF是因為神經系統活動的不平衡所引起。
系統性炎症和心臟發炎也會延長AF。瑜伽對這些因素都有幫助。
我們考量一群病人，在三個月中發生心房顫動次數，焦慮，憂鬱程度及生活品質。再讓這全群病人做三個月瑜伽―包括呼吸，放鬆，asanas
姿勢。第一階段研究發現瑜伽對心律調整，情緒穩定有顯著效果。
◆
對有AF，想試瑜伽的人，您有何建議？
我們試驗的是Iyengar
瑜伽，其他只要包含呼吸，放鬆，asanas的瑜伽應該有類似效果。要記住：瑜伽並不能治好心房顫動。它只能緩和症狀。病人還是得服藥。在嘗試瑜伽前，請先與醫生商量。
