💉 Foods That Battle Stress During the Coronavirus Pandemic
防疫舒壓食物:「BRAIN FOOD」食物分類法
🍴Now, emerging research in the nascent field of nutritional psychiatry suggests that certain foods can help manage a broader range of emotional challenges, such as anxiety, anger and insomnia. And while the most established treatments for mental-health conditions such as depression remain antidepressants and talk therapy, researchers say food can also be a very useful tool.
營養精神醫學作為一新興研究領域,最近的許多研究皆顯示特定食物對於控制和預防眾多情緒困擾,如焦慮、憂鬱、失眠皆有顯著幫助。雖然目前對於前述身心疾病的標準治療方式是給予病患抗憂鬱藥物和心理諮商,研究者表示,食物也能成為一大助力。
-nascent: 新生的
-emerging: 新興的;不斷出現的
-established: 確立的
🍯We have come to understand more definitively in the past year that personalized treatment plans for nutrition are very important. This is because of the connection between the gut and brain. The balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut microbiome is so important because they communicate with the brain. But the composition of bacteria in each person’s gut is unique. So one person with depression may respond very differently to certain foods than the next person with depression.
過去一年來,大家更加確信個人化的療程與飲食營養方案的重要性。腸道與大腦之間的關聯、腸道內好壞菌生態系的平衡至關重要,因為腸道菌叢掌管著腸胃消化道與大腦的溝通。然而,每個人的腸道菌叢組成都不同,因此一位憂鬱症患者對某些食物的反應可能會與另一位患者非常不同。
-definitively: 肯定地
-personalize: 個人化;客製化
-composition: 組成
🎯 Food can fix this imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your gut. And research has shown that if you change how you eat, and change your stress level, you can start to rebalance the bacteria in your gut in a single day. The inflammation may take a few weeks to heal. But whether you make a good or bad choice of food, your gut bacteria will respond, positively or negatively, in a day.
食物可以幫助平衡腸道裡面的好菌和壞菌。此外,研究顯示,如果改變飲食習慣和壓力程度,體內的腸道菌叢在一天之內就可以重歸平衡。發炎可能需要幾週的時間修復,而無論攝取的食物好壞,腸道菌叢在一天之內就會有相應的反應。
-imbalance: 不平衡
-rebalance: 再平衡
-inflammation: 發炎

how to start your day positively 在 Dan Lok Facebook 的最佳解答
Back in 1952, an author named Ray Bradbury published a short story called:
“A Sound Of Thunder”
In it, a hunter named Eckels pays 10,000-bucks to travel 60 million years back in time with a company called Time Safari.
Now in the story, Time Safari takes hunters back in time so they can hunt the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs.
But there’s a catch...
They don’t guarantee your safety - and they DO NOT guarantee your return.
Also, since even the smallest change you make to the past will have consequences in the future, the time travellers have very strict orders.
Only walk on the path made by the company.
And only shoot when the company says so.
Anything else you do could change the future for better or for worse.,,,
Would you go on this adventure?
Anyway, long story short.
Eckles gets terrified by a T-Rex, he runs back to the time machine through the jungle instead of on the path, and waits for everyone to get back...
But when they get back and see the mud on Eckles boots - they know something terrible has happened.
That the future may have been changed forever...
And they were right.
When they exit the time machine back into the present day, they start noticing things are strange and different.
The man at the front desk is a little different to when they left. And so is the smell in the air. And so are the signs and letters on the wall!
Eckels quickly looks down again to his muddy boots and...
"Embedded in the mud, glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly, very beautiful and very dead."
The Butterfly Effect
People used to think that life today is a product of very big events in history…
A war, an election, a natural disaster, or maybe some major new trend.
But is it true? Is the world really created by those events?
Well if you think back to the story above. It’s not actually the case.
Eckles didn’t blow up the forest, or set an entire jungle alight, or kill everyone and everything in sight...
No. He just stood on one small little butterfly.
One tiny little creature...
That was it.
And that one butterfly slowly changed the entire course of history.
You see, the Butterfly Effect states that even an event as small and insignificant as a butterfly flapping its wings will eventually add up until something major happens...
So this whole idea that big events create the world isn’t actually true.
Think about it...
What causes those big events to happen in the first place?
Isn’t it usually a lot of small things that add up?
How The Butterfly Effect Will Undoubtedly Change Your Life
What about you...
Do you maybe have a goal or dream that seems way too big, or far too out of your control to be possible?
Do you maybe feel like some of the small things you do on a daily basis just don’t matter?
Or do you maybe feel like you have no real effect on what happens in the world?
Well, think again.
Because just like the Butterfly Effect, all the little choices that you make on a daily basis will without fail affect you, and also the world as we know it.
Either those little choices are going to add up positively. You’re going to become the person you truly want to be. And you’re going to make an impact on many many lives...
Or your little choices will be negative and will add up negatively…
...and they’ll take you farther and farther away from your true potential and the impact the world needs you for.
What Little Choices Are You Going To Start Making Today?
One way or another you’re going to affect the world. And it’s ultimately up to you what choices you’re going to make. So here are some ideas:
Little Choice #1: You decide to wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual every single day to do that extra bit of personal development.
RESULT: Three months from now you are much happier and you’ve grown as a person.
======
Little Choice #2: You decide to save money you sometimes blow eating out and you buy a book to read instead.
RESULT: You discover something that completely transforms the way you live your life or do business. And things are never the same again.
======
Little Choice #3: You decide to stop doing something that you know you shouldn’t be doing. And instead, you focus on building a new healthier habit for 90 days. (like exercising, or changing your diet a little).
RESULT: You have way better self-confidence and self-esteem. And you feel motivated and ready to do more and be more.
======
Write this down.
Your efforts will seem small. Until they’re impossible to ignore.
How are you going to implement this story into your life?
