很棒的紀錄短片！

《飛閱高雄》雖然只有短短3分多鐘，卻把高雄最具特色的景觀都如實記錄下來。

高雄從空中看，真是一個多樣化的城市。

空拍攝影師齊柏林，整整花了5個月的時間才完成這部作品。

 一百歲感言 ---雖然讀過幾遍，仍然覺得一新耳目！

人生最曼妙的風景.竟是內心的淡定與從容...

我今年一百歲，已經走到了人生的邊緣，我無法確知自己還能走多遠 ，

壽命是不由自主的，但我很清楚我快“回家”了。

⋯⋯ 我得洗淨這一百年沾染的污穢回家。

我沒有“登泰山而小天下”之感 ，只在自己的小天地裡過平靜的生活。

細想至此，我心靜如水，我該平和地迎接每一天，準備回家。

在這物慾橫流的人世間，人生一世實在是夠苦。

你存心做一個與世無爭的老實人吧，人家就利用你欺侮你。

你稍有才德品貌，人家就嫉妒你排擠你。

你大度退讓，人家就侵犯你損害你。

你要不與人爭，就得與世無求，同時還要維持實力準備鬥爭。

你要和別人和平共處，就先得和他們周旋，還得準備隨時吃虧。

少年貪玩，青年迷戀愛情，壯年汲汲於成名成家，暮年自安於自欺欺人。

人壽幾何，頑鐵能煉成的精金，能有多少？

但不同程度的鍛煉，必有不同程度的成績；

不同程度的縱慾放肆，必積下不同程度的頑劣。

上蒼不會讓所有幸福集中到某個人身上，

得到愛情未必擁有金錢；

擁有金錢未必得到快樂；

得到快樂未必擁有健康；

擁有健康未必一切都會如願以償。

保持知足常樂的心態才是淬煉心智，淨化心靈的最佳途徑。

一切快樂的享受都屬於精神，

這種快樂把忍受變為享受，是精神對於物質的勝利，這便是人生哲學。

一個人經過不同程度的鍛煉，就獲得不同程度的修養、不同程度的效益。

好比香料，搗得愈碎，磨得愈細，香得愈濃烈。

我們曾如此渴望命運的波瀾，到最後才發現：

人生最曼妙的風景，竟是內心的淡定與從容……

我們曾如此期盼外界的認可，到最後才知道：

世界是自己的 ，與他人毫無關係。

Osteoporosis is not just about lack of calcium

What You Should Know About Osteoporosis

 by: Junji Takano

When you say "osteoporosis", we immediately think it is caused by lack of calcium. Doctors will recommend you to take more calcium, vitamin D, and sun exposure or sunbath.

 However, the latest findings in various hospitals show that the majority of osteoporosis patients are not caused by lack of calcium.

 Their bones are complete and absorbing calcium. So what is wrong with them? CT scan results show no signs of osteoporosis, yet, the patients easily suffer from bone fractures. What's going on?

 Here, we came to know about a new strain of osteoporosis that was discovered since about two years ago.

 The most common type of bone fracture nowadays is "spinal fracture". If spinal fracture occurs, the risk of death is eight times higher than any other type of bone fractures.

What is the reason that bones are weakening? Why do patients suffer from broken spine?

 It is an important factor to have bone strength, not just bone density.. Bone collagen connective tissues are also an important factor to create flexibility.

 Many of us didn't realize this at first sight. In the past, osteoporosis was viewed more on bone strength, and we never hear and realize about these connective tissues.

 To improve bone density, it's a common knowledge to do regular exercise and have a higher calcium intake like by eating calcium-rich dried fishes.

 But now, we have to think of a new measure to maintain bone collagen connective tissues to have enough flexibility. From this simple measure, you may escape from the risk of death caused by fracture of spinal bones.

To measure or determine strong bone and bone mineral density are not as easy as what you may think.

Clinically, it has to pass various tests.

Well, what is the major cause that leads to reduction of bone collagen connective tissues? Do you believe that it is because of high blood sugar?

The major component of bone, which is about one half of its structure, is calcium, and collagen is the other half. Collagen fibres run through hundreds of bone materials (calcium), and the bones that we know are made.

You can imagine that the bone materials (calcium) are somewhat bonded by collagen and kept with reasonable flexibility. However, when blood sugar increases, the collagen will be joined as if there is an adhesive cement around, and the bone will become brittle.

To avoid the increase of blood sugar, exercise is one of the best things to do. Aside from it, we recommend you to take a balanced diet that contains vitamin B12 and vitamin B6, and foods such as mackerel, sardines, clams, folic acid, broccoli, spinach,garland chrysanthemum, soybeans, and asparagus.

By taking these foods, you can have strong flexible bones.

3 COMMON MYTHS ON OSTEOPOROSIS

1. Myth: Young people should not worry about osteoporosis.

Wrong. You will not realize that you have osteoporosis until you have this condition in advanced stages. That is why it is very important to begin proper nutrition and regular exercise as early as childhood to promote healthy bones.

2. Myth: Only women get osteoporosis.

Wrong. Although less common, men can get osteoporosis, too. 20% of those affected by osteoporosis are men.

3. Myth: Drinking plenty of milk will help you prevent osteoporosis.

Not entirely true. Even though drinking milk is a good way to get calcium, it is not the only factor in preventing osteoporosis. There are others as mentioned in this article.
