Automobile Air Conditioner
Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter the car!
Please open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON the air-conditioning immediately. According to a research done, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emits Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen- take note of the heated plastic smell in your car). In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer may also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level ... & the people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxins.
It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

BREATHING THERAPY
Practice this way and it will help you...
Our noses have left and right nostrils. Are these nostrils having the same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?
我們有左邊、右邊鼻孔，吸氣、吐氣時有沒有一樣？
Actually it's not the same and we can feel the difference. Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side represents the moon.
其實不一樣，可以感覺不一樣；右邊等於是太陽的意思，左邊等於是月亮 .
When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to do breathing for about 5 min. The headache will be gone.
平常頭痛時可以用手把右邊鼻孔關起來，只用左邊鼻孔吸氣、吐氣，約五分鐘，頭痛就好了。
If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel refresh again.
如果疲倦、累了，相反的關起左邊的鼻孔，只用右邊吸氣、吐氣，不用多久，馬上精神好起了。
Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily..
因為右邊屬於火氣，比較會熱，左邊比較會涼。
Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.
女生大部分吸氣、吐氣在左邊，所以心比較會涼快。
Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.
男生大部分吸氣、吐氣在右邊，所以他們比較會生氣。
When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster? Is it the left side or the right side?
我們起床時，可以注意哪邊吸氣、吐氣比較快？左邊或右邊？
If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired. Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.
如果左邊比較快，覺得提不起精神，可以關起左邊鼻孔，用右邊呼吸，很快的精神會好起來。
You can teach your kids about it. The effect of breathing therapy is much better for adults.
這也可以教給小孩，大人用更好。如果你有警覺心的話，速度更快。
I used to have painful headache. When consulted a doctor, he told me jokingly," You will be all right if you get married!" The doctor did not bullshit me as he had his theory and supported with testimony.
以前我曾經頭痛，痛得非常厲害，去看醫生，醫生說 " 你去結婚就好了 !" 醫生說得沒錯，他有理論根據。
During that time, I used to have headache every night and I was not able to study. I took medicine but I was not cured.
當時每天晚上都頭痛，沒有辦法看書，有吃藥，也不是辦法。
One night as I sat down to medidate, I closed my right nostril and breathed with my left nostril. In less than a week, it seemed that my headache problem had left me! I continued doing it for about a month and since then there was no recurrence of headache in me.
有一天晚上靜坐，關起右鼻孔呼吸，這樣子做，不到一個禮拜，頭痛好了！持續做了一個月，從那天晚上到現在，一次也沒有頭痛過。
This is my own experience. I used to tell others who also suffer headache to try this method as it was effective for me. It also works for those who have tried as well. This is a natural therapy, unlike taking medicines for a long time may have side effect. So, why don't you try it out?
這是我自己親身經驗過，每一次我告訴別人，你們頭痛的話，試試看，因為我的身體有效果，很多人試過也有效果。這是一種自然的處理，不像吃藥會有副作用，為什麼不用呢？
Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in and breathe out) and your body will be in a very relaxing condition.
經常清楚的吸氣、吐氣，身體會覺非常輕鬆。

KEEP SMILING ALWAYS
Life doesn't need to be perfect & rich..just enjoy what we have..
In the picture, just look at their condition.. no place to sleep, still they have
made some space for cat and dog... water pouring from the roof but still
each 1 of them have a peaceful smile on their face.. Simply amazing!!!!!
The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,
but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

STRESS TEST LEVEL
The Banana TestThere is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals.
King Kong, an Ape, an Orangutan and a Monkey pass by.
They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.
Who do you guess will win?
Your answer will reflect your personality.
Think carefully . . . Try and answer within 30 seconds
Got your answer?
If your answer is:
Orangutan = you're sick
Ape = you need a break
Monkey = worse, you suppose to be in the hospital right now..
King Kong = I think you better take 1 year leave..
Why?
A Coconut tree doesn't have bananas!
Obviously you're stressed and overworked.
Take some time off and relax!
