Pako

Miehen työnantaja muisti meitä jälleen neuvoillaan. Kaninvuoden vastaanotto tuntuu kovin hankalalta; nauriskakun syömistä, kävelyä ostoskeskuksen ympäri, pitäisi nukkua 7h yössä, eikä saisi edes juoda alkoholia ihan vain sen juomisen ilosta! Ei, nyt on pakko pakata ja kadota maisemista tulevaksi viikoksi. Matkaamme muutaman tuhat kilometriä etelään, valkoiselle hiekkarannalle, reppureissaajien ja sukeltajien kohteeseen. Kai sinne yksi lapsiperhe sekaan mahtuu. Maastoutuksemme massaan hankimme tänään oikein snorkkelit...

Mikäli vielä ihmettelette miksi ihmeessä taas lähdemme reissuun, niin myös talonyhtiön lähettämä tekstari selventää asiaa: "Nyt juhlinnan (lue: ilotulituksien) alettua muistattehan siivota pihoilta kaikki palava materiaali pois!" Näin on tehty. Ja laukut pakattu. Minä lähden opiskelemaan cebuaniaa ja jätän teidät, armaat lukijani, nauttimaan lukuhetkestä elämänohjeiden parissa. Moi.
　


健康快乐迎兔年
——春节期间健康提示

健康旅行

提前一周喝红茶
旅行前一周每天喝500毫升红茶，可刺激人体分泌干扰素增加2-4倍以上，它可增强人体免疫力，让您不易受到病毒侵害引起感冒和肝炎。

出发前多吃富含蛋白质的食物
当人们乘飞机时，人体内耳前庭平衡感受器受到过度运动刺激，使人感到头晕，恶心，呕吐及有其他症状。在起飞前吃鸡蛋、牛肉等富含蛋白质的食物，可减少恶心等26％的症状。

在外喝瓶装水
前往偏远地区或不发达国家，最好别喝当地的水。建议您旅行时喝瓶装水；刷牙和清洗隐形眼镜时最好用开水；以避免病毒和细菌感染。

记得要经常洗手
在旅行期间经常清洗双手是防止各种感染最好的方法。如果不方便洗手时，您可以用60％的酒精棉片擦手。此外，请勿触摸家禽和野生鸟类，因为它们很容易受到传染病的感染。

科学饮食

采购春节食品
在采购春节食品时，别买过量，因为它们可能会因贮存不当或长期贮存而变质。选择新鲜食物，少买腌制或加工食品。

传统小吃
当购买传统小吃（如冬瓜糖，莲子糖，椰丝糖），注意其颜色，请选择天然颜色的食品。其实，这些传统小吃高糖或高脂肪，但营养价值低，尝试更换一些健康食品来代替（如杏干，葡萄干等干果）和无盐烤坚果。买瓜子时，要注意壳，光泽不自然的瓜子，可能加了矿物油，如果吃了可能引发肠胃不适。此外，您可用手剥瓜子，避免口部直接接触瓜子壳。

油炸食品
如油角，香酥芝麻球等油炸食品，应保存在密封的容器中，放在阴凉处。由于这些是高脂肪、高热量食物，建议适量食用。

糕点
另外一个必须具备的贺年食品，如自制萝卜糕时，可选用健康的食材，如香菇、虾米、葱粒，替代腊肠、火腿、瘦肉，同时少用糖。有包装的年糕，注意保质期。如糕点有发霉或异味，请勿食用。

此外，温馨的提示您：

在假期前多锻炼
锻炼身体可以消耗热量，更重要的是可以为即将到来的假日改善心情。可以每天增加少许运动量，如步行上班，为选择节日礼物多逛几家商场，为客人拜访提前多做一些家务等。

请谨记，饮酒是一种辅助，不是目的
节日庆典或聚会的主要目的是为了与您认识的人共享乐趣，而非豪饮。在聚会时，如果您发现自己过量了，为防止自己越喝越多：请告诉朋友或亲人，送您回家。

保持健康的睡眠作息时间
睡眠对体重管理非常重要。长假很容易给熬夜提供机会，如果作息时间不正常，将产生较低的瘦素激素水平和较高胃促生长素激素水平，提高您的食欲。因此即使在假日，也请保持每晚七个小时的睡眠。

参考以上提示，祝愿大家度过一个健康快乐的兔年春节！
