| Gap teeth: The new face of fashion |
豁齒模特流行 |
| The gap-toothed smile flashed by top models such as Jessica Hart, Lara Stone and Georgia Jagger is leading to a boom in the U.S. in quirky cosmetic orthodontic procedures in place of the perfect, straight white smiles, the Guardian reports. Some models are having brackets inserted between their front teeth to widen the gap and improve their careers and American dentists report that veneers with slight staining, grooves and overlaps are growing in popularity. Last week the New York Times reported that demand is growing for customized imperfect veneers despite the cost of up to $2,500. Standard veneers cost around $700. |
據英國《衛報》報道，超模杰西卡·哈特、勞拉·斯通、喬治亞·賈格爾展露出的豁齒微笑正取代完美的皓齒笑容，成為時尚。在美國，一類離奇的矯齒美容手術蔚然成風。一些模特在門牙中塞入托架擴大牙間縫隙，達到促進事業發展的目的。美國牙醫報告說，帶有輕微瑕疵、溝痕和重疊的牙齒鑲嵌越來越有市場。上周，《紐約時報》還報道，人們對定制的并帶有缺陷的牙齒鑲嵌需求越來越高，這種鑲嵌最貴可達2500美元。而標準的牙齒鑲嵌只要花700美元左右就可買到。 |
| Drinking beer helps you lose weight |
空腹喝啤酒有助減肥 |
| Drinking beer when your stomach is empty can help you lose weight, according to the website Health.dahe.cn. Refined dietary fiber in the yeast contained in beer can absorb fat during the digestion process and will eventually be discharged along with the fat. In addition, minerals and vitamin B contained in the yeast can accelerate the body's metabolism. Those who want to lose weight should drink at least two bottles of beer a day on an empty stomach and gradually increase their consumption. Do not eat when you drink and it will work only after you drink for a long time. There are few side effects as beer contains only natural ingredients. |
據大河健康網報道，空腹喝啤酒能起到減肥作用。這是因為啤酒中含有啤酒酵母，而啤酒酵母所含的優質膳食纖維能在食物消化過程中吸附脂肪，最終排出體外。另外，啤酒酵母中的維生素B和礦物質能促進機體加快體內脂肪代謝。但是，喝啤酒減肥必須空腹喝，一次2瓶以上，根據自身情況合理增加飲用量，并且不吃任何食物，堅持下去才能起到效果。由于啤酒的成分都是天然的，對身體的副作用小。 |
