February is American Heart Month

每年二月是美國的愛護心臟月

By proclamation, President Bush has declared February “American Heart Month” to increase awareness of the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States, and it is a major cause of disabilities. 

美國總統布希已經在文告中宣布：每年二月為美國愛護心臟月，藉此提醒全國人民注意心臟疾病易引起不分男性或女性死亡的事實，它也是引起殘疾的主要原因。

 (Heart disease is the 3rd leading cause of death among women aged 25-44, and the 2nd leading cause of death among women aged 45-64, so don’t think it is just a problem for men!)

(心臟疾病是女性25-44歲第三大的死因，45-64歲第二大的死因；所以不要認為它只是發生在男性的問題而已。)

According to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., every 26 seconds, an American has a coronary event, and one person dies every minute from such an event.

根據位於美國亞特蘭大的疾病管制中心提供的資訊，每26秒就有一位美國人發生冠狀動脈的心臟意外事件，每1分鐘就有一位死於此疾病。

TrimBerry Extreme™: Antioxidants for Anti-Aging!

超極緻的百奇營養果汁：是抗氧化物可以預防老化

Recently, I was speaking with a group of friends and they asked why the media keeps touting the power of antioxidants.  Should we take antioxidants? 

最近，我與一群朋友聊天，他們問為什麼媒體仍持續鼓吹抗氧化物的能力？我們應該採用抗氧化物來保健嗎？

First, I offered a little antioxidant 101.  Antioxidants “neutralize” free radicals (unstable, chemically reactive molecules). Free radical production is a byproduct of the body’s biological processes and are also used by our immune cells as little “bomblets” to kill pathogens. However, the body needs a balance of free-radicals, enough to do the job, but not enough to cause problems.

首先，我要提供一點抗氧化物的指標性觀念给大家。抗氧化物能「中和」自由基（自由基是不穩定的化學反應分子） 。產生自由基是身體生物過程的副產品，也是被我們的免疫細胞利用作為小小的炸彈以殺害病原體。但是，身體需要平衡的自由基數量，足夠讓免疫細胞做工作就好，太多就會造成問題。
