Reader's Digest, November 2007

Reader's Digest, November 2007這一期的Reader's Digest讓我受益頗多，
(1) "How I Saved My Own Life"一文中體重超重的Denise Armstrong在身體出現警訊時，痛下決心減肥，她提醒自己：When I get to urge to eat something bad, I remind myself that I want to live.她利用飲食控制、調製糖尿病食譜、慢跑，將每天攝取的熱量控制在1,800卡以內。她的毅力及家人及朋友的支持終於讓她擺脫糖尿病的夢魘。減重成功的她贏得健康，也找回自信。
(2) "The Secret Men Won't Admit"一文指出男生的憂鬱症的徵候並不容易察覺，因為"Their sadness and helplessness are hidden behind a mask of anger."。
(3) "Lost and Found"介紹韓籍影星Yunjin Kim在Hollywood主演"Lost"而聲名大噪。Yunjin Kim的一些想法我很認同：
  In starting something, even though you may encounter many obstacles and no one can predict the results, you need to do your best and move toward your goals.
  Once you make a decision, never doubt yourself, and make it work.
Yunjin Kim的成功並非偶然！ 
(4) "5 Surprising Reasons to Get More Sleep"，提到充足睡眠的益處:
* It could make you thinner.
* It could boost your memory.
* It can fight colds, ulcers and even cancer.
* It can slow down ageing.
* It could keep you orderly.
