What is the Ecological Agricultural System?

The ecological agricultural system is that, based on ecology theory, an agricultural production system built in a certain region. The ecological agricultural system is composed of biocoenosises lived in the region and ambient environment, which is the fundamental unit of the development and research of the ecological agriculture.

In essence, the ecological agricultural system is an artificial ecological system which people make use of biological measures and engineering actions to continuously improve the fixed rate and the utilization factor of the solar energy and the conversion rate of the biological energy source in order to obtain the living goods necessary for the society and the capital goods. As same as the natural ecosystem, the ecological agricultural system exchange the energy and material with the environment continuously, also circulate and convert internally, sequentially keep the function and structure of the ecological agricultural system, simultaneously form complicated feedback relationship internally. While during the process of the flow of energy and circulation of materials of the ecological agricultural system, the human being are at the centre of the ecological agricultural system, because the human being have highly conscious activities. Under the circumstances without prejudice to the objective laws of the ecological system, the human being can make use of the ecological system and transform the ecological system initiative.

Being a high-efficiency artificial ecosystem, the ecological agricultural systems, are composed of living beings (such as plants, animals and microorganisms) and environmental conditions (such as light, heat, water, air and soil), in addition to these also include the practice of human being activities and the social and economic situations, are a unity consisted of these complexity factors. In other words, the ecological agricultural systems not only include a region (the region may be as large as a Country, and the region may be as small as a village or a unincorporated villages, all of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing industry are included in the ecological agricultural systems), but also combine with the socioeconomic system, which is a synthetic ecological system.

Because the main objects of study in the ecological agricultural systems are plants (such as crops and trees) and animals (domestic animals and poultries) under the limit of certain natural environment (such as climates and soil), therefore there is a close link and many correspondences between the ecological agricultural systems and the natural ecological systems. But the ecological agricultural systems have their own characteristics which are as followings:

1. Regard to the community structure, the community structure of the ecological agricultural systems is simpler than the natural ecological systems

2. Regard to the time and space forms of the ecological agricultural systems, the time and space forms of the ecological agricultural systems is discontinuous compared to the natural ecological systems.

My Experience about Shopping Online

In modern society, a good many things are done on line. We use internet to chat, talk, and work. The internet provides us a huge stage to communicate with the world. However, the internet now do more than just recreation and relaxation, we can also manage our daily life on line. For example, with tremendous technological advances, more and more people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of the Internet, which is very convenient and fast. When you don’t have enough time to shop in the shopping mall, you can turn to this kind of way for help. It's a real revolution about people's consuming habits.

In order to keep up with the times, I ever tried to shop online once. I think it was my first time shopping online as well as my last try.

Since our college is far away from downtown and we don’t have much time to go shopping personally. Many of my classmates turn to shop online. It allows people to avoid those holiday mall crowds and checkout lines. In addition, you can have a variety of choices; you just need to compare products and prices between retailers with a couple clicks of the mouse. So I wanted to buy a piece of clothing online at that time. I shopped around online for a long time and finally chose one. It was a red T-shirt, and I ordered medium. As I didn't have an account at the online bank, my roommate paid the money for me. This clothes cost me thirty Yuan, and the postage was eight Yuan.

Two days later I received the clothes, but it was quite disappointing. The color was not the exact same as I chose and the size was not fit. Therefore, after that I never shop online again. I would rather go to the mall in person, because I can personally examine the product I am buying.

This is my simple experience about shopping online. I think we need to strengthen supervision over the information released by the Internet. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping online and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.

The Importance of Fun for Students

In his "EJ in Focus" essay in this issue, Tom Romano makes an effort to ensure that the "fun" that should occur in English class is a rigorous form of fun: fun that engages students in meaningful work for meaningful purposes. There are some who might misread an English Journal theme "For the Fun of It!" as a suggestion that "fun" should be the priority in English class. The concern is that teachers will create a curriculum that students enjoy but aren't getting much from in terms of intellectual development. I understand this concern, but it misses the point.

Making English fun is not really about giving students a good time. It is about improving their learning. When people are having fun, they are paying attention, willing to think more deeply, open to new ideas, less self-conscious, more apt to think back on and discuss what they have experienced, and thus more Tag Heuer Replica likely to incorporate what they have learned into their memory. Fun isn't an important goal for an English class; it's an essential means for achieving goals in English class. Fun encourages more effective learning.

English class must be rigorous, but it is the teacher who must be most rigorous, designing assignments and an atmosphere that will truly engage students. Making a meaningful English class fun is rigorous work. Some may say, "There are simply some aspects of English that are not fun, and students have to learn to deal with them." I've even heard some argue that students can learn more from a boring class because it will force them to learn how to learn despite negating classroom conditions. The idea is that such instruction will prepare students for a "real world" that is not out to entertain them. But this logic is flawed. Does hitting yourself in the head with a hammer make you better at taking hits to the head with a hammer?

Students come to us to learn everything about English that they should learn. It is up to us to help them learn it. And that requires making English as fun as possible for students—without sacrificing a bit of rigor. It's a tough job. Good thing we've got great material.

English teachers are a creative and fun-loving bunch. For this issue, we received more than five times the number of submissions than we Omega Replica Watches could publish. The essays we were able to include are sure to inspire, entertain, and educate. Take some time during these summer months to relax and enjoy this English Journal wherever you go to recharge. Have some fun thinking about how to bring your favorite aspects of English to your students next year.

Disability and Development

Introduction

There has been and continues to be a wide-ranging and fiercely contested debate about how disability should be understood. For those unfamiliar with this subject it might seem surprising that something apparently as obvious as the definition of disability should excite controversy. The objective of this briefing note is to outline why this has happened, why the apparently obvious is not so obvious, and why the arguments are of such importance for policies and practices concerned with disability and poverty in the developing world.

Understanding disability

Individual/medical model of disability

The traditional understanding of disability is that it is what ‘is wrong’ with disabled people – how their health is compromised. This view equates disability with impairment. So, ‘disabilities’ would include blindness, deafness, the various conditions that make it difficult or impossible to walk or to speak, mental illnesses and such conditions as Downs Syndrome and epilepsy. This is a medicals view of disability and is often called the medical model of disability.

In general, by conceptualizing disability as an individual health issue disabled people are socially imagined and may imagine themselves as, among other things, damaged, abnormal, as patients and/or as the dependent objects for a variety of medical or rehabilitative interventions. While those who view disability through a medical lens may concede that there are unfortunate social consequences that arise from having a disability, within this paradigm social exclusion is seen essentially as the result of limitations imposed by ‘disabilities’. As the problem is primarily a medical one the solution tends to be cure and/or rehabilitation, the latter, in some cases, requiring segregation into special institutions. This is carried out, usually by health service professionals of one sort or another, with the intention of caring for and protecting the disabled person, as in the case of institutionalization, or to restore ‘normal functioning’.

Social model of disability

“It is society that disables us, not our impairments.”

The critique of the traditional interpretation of disability, which eventually was transformed into the social model of disability, was developed from the 1970s within the disability movement in the UK. It offered a radical alternative to the individualized medical conception of disability by asserting that disabled people were disadvantaged not because of their impairments, but as a result of the limitations imposed on them by social, cultural, economic, and environmental barriers. Disability according to this formulation is not about health or pathology but about discrimination and social exclusion. From a social-model perspective disability is a socio-political issue. This in turn leads to fundamentally different policy priorities and choices, mainly around the removal of disabling barriers, as well as a strong emphasis on human and civil rights.

Unlike medical model assumptions of individual abnormality and the primacy of cure, the social model, while not rejecting medical intervention, implicitly acknowledges the normality of impairment. Furthermore, it is recognized that medical advances far from reducing the number of disabled people have led to an increase, as people not only live longer but are also better able to survive illness and injury. It might be said that the proportion of disabled people in a population is a good indicator of an economy’s prosperity.

Fierce academic and political debates continue both within the disability movement and from outside, about the nature of the social model, its relevance, as well as how and if it can be applied in any given situation. It is beyond the scope of this note even to outline these debates. Instead, after a brief account of some benefits of applying the social model in development, specific questions that have been raised about the social model in this context will be considered.

“In the broadest sense, the social model of disability is about nothing more complicated than a clear focus on the economic, environmental and cultural barriers encountered by people who are viewed by others as having some form of impairment – whether physical, sensory or intellectual.”

Nothing about us without us!

By seeing impairment as an ordinary part of life, and disability as the result of discrimination and exclusion, the social model has underpinned efforts to extract disability from the medicals, ‘special needs’ ghetto and push for the mainstreaming of disability concerns in all development policies and practices. Although this is yet to happen, there have been numerous positive statements of intent by both government and international agencies about the need to mainstream disability in development work.

The social model has also provided a powerful framework for bringing disabled people together in a common struggle for equality and rights. By doing this the social model has promoted the idea that disabled people should be actors in their own lives, rather than passive recipients of care. This equates almost exactly to current thinking on a rights-based approach to development, adopted by government development agencies throughout the world. For example, a key DFID paper about planning to meet the UN’s International Development Targets (latterly the Millennium Development Goals) states that: “The central message […] is that the International Development Targets can only be achieved with the engagement of poor people in the decisions and processes which affect their lives. Human rights are a central part of work to achieve the International Development Targets because they provide a means of empowering all people to make effective decisions about their own lives.”

By projecting disabled people into a leading role in defining and controlling their lives, the social model offers a powerful device for the liberation of those who remain the poorest of the poor in all countries, both developed and developing. The model is so powerful because it illuminates the fact that the roots of poverty and powerlessness do not to reside in biology but in society. The former is, for most disabled people, immutable; the latter, through purposeful collective action, can be transformed. A human rights approach offers both the platform for such societal transformation and a way for disabled people to transform their sense of who they are – from stigmatized objects of care to valued subjects of their own lives. For people who are Poor and oppressed this is a key starting point of any meaningful process of social and economic development.

“Disability is a human rights issue! I repeat: disability is a human rights issue. Those of us who happen to have a disability are fed up being treated by the society and our fellow citizens as if we did not exist or as if we were aliens from outer space. We are human beings with equal value, claiming equal rights…If asked, most people, including politicians and other decision makers, agree with us. The problem is that they do not realize the consequences of this principle and they are not ready to take action accordingly.”

Relevance of the social model in developing countries

Is the social model relevant for poor disabled people in developing countries? A number of questions have been raised about the efficacy of both the human rights approach to development and the use of the social model of disability in helping to frame that approach. Some of these questions, and comments on them, are briefly outlined below.

Ignoring impairment?

Perhaps the most common issue raised by critics of the social model is that it ignores the reality of what impairment means for disabled people. This, they say, is problematic in the North, but when applied to the South it is catastrophic. At one level this claim could be dismissed as it is most frequently made by non-disabled people, while the social model has been embraced by disabled people, in both the North and South, who clearly do know what impairment means on a daily basis.

Advocating the social model does not mean ignoring the causes of impairment or the health care needs of anyone, including disabled people. Proper health care is a basic human right and provision of clean water, disease prevention, ending conflicts, eradicating poverty, and getting rid of landmines, all of which would remove major causes of illness and injury, are important for all. Finally, it should be stressed that the social model critique of the medical model of disability is, at least in part, about rejecting the lexicalization of disabled people, not rejecting medical intervention.

Ignoring assistive technology?

An objection related to the above has been raised by David Werner, one of the founders of the Proximal Project in Mexico. He has written that disability activists in the North “…already have the essential personal aids they need. So their top priority is the struggle for their social rights. They have tended to project their own priorities onto the poor disabled people of the Third World, whose lack of assistive equipment (braces, wheelchairs, etc.) may be their biggest limitation.”

The issue of disability rights, far from being a Northern project, has found some of its most vocal and innovative proponents in the South. Furthermore, as the practice at Proximal indicates, access to the proper technology, far from being antithetical to a rights-based approach to disability, can be immensely liberating if developed within a framework that prioritizes the real needs of disabled people as well as their genuine participation at all levels. In fact, access to a wheelchair or a hearing aid is a basic human right for someone who would otherwise be unable to take part in any social activity.

Ignoring cultural difference?

Another criticism is that the social model as been developed in the North where the cultural context, particularly the emphasis on individual rights, differs greatly from the more family-based and/or communal situation found in many developing countries. Similar culturally-relativist arguments have been made about the international human rights agenda in general. Such criticisms raise the question of whether any practice – slavery, female circumcision, infanticide and so on – can be defended on the grounds that it is part of local culture.

More significantly, by stressing the commonality of disability discrimination, the social model, rather then promoting an individualist agenda, has helped foster cross-impairment-based collective action on issues of concern to all disabled people, i.e. transport, access to education and employment. Finally, it is up to disabled people in the South, if they find the social model useful, to interpret it in ways appropriate to their own circumstances. Such cultural adaptation is precisely what has happened in many developing countries.

Ignoring difference?

It has been claimed that the social model of disability ignores the differences among disabled people with respect to their impairments, and that there is an impairment, class and gender hierarchy (wheelchair-using, middle-class men being dominant) within the disability movement.

Leaving aside the latter point, which is factually incorrect, the criticism about a lack of homogeneity is rather curious as no one has ever made such an argument or even implied that differences do not exist or are not significant. Individually, disabled people, even those with the same impairment, have a vast range of life experiences, as do any other oppressed group such as women or ethnic minorities. What brings them together in a movement is the shared experience of discrimination and exclusion. This is precisely the focus given by the social model and one reason that it has been so important for, and embraced so avidly by, disabled people.

Ignoring poverty?

Why, in conditions of extreme poverty in which most disabled people in the developing world live, should they care about the social model or a rights-based approach to disability? Surely ‘you cannot eat rights’. Just as surely, people without rights often can’t eat. As indicated above, this latter idea firmly underpins current thinking on the poverty reduction in the developing world, with its emphasis on a human rights approach. It must be stressed, however, that this approach can only yield results for disabled people if they are able to organize and lobby effectively as equal members of civil society. Otherwise the mantra of human rights will remain little more than a public relations exercise to cover the failure of globalization to meet the needs of the worlds’ poor.

“A rights perspective means incorporating the empowerment of poor people into our approach to tackling poverty. It means ensuring that poor people’s voices are heard when decisions which affect their lives are made. It means recognizing that equality matters. Addressing discrimination in legislation, policies and society contributes to an environment in which excluded people have more control over their lives. A rights approach also means making sure those citizens can hold governments to account for their human rights obligations.”

Conclusion

The social model of disability represents a protean challenge to traditional thinking about disability. If applied in the development context it has the potential to transform policies and practice as well as the lives of disabled people. However, neither it nor a human rights approach is magic wands. While many people may find the social model a helpful way to conceptualize disability and have even begun using disability rights language in reports and policy documents, this is not enough to make a real difference. A too-easy acceptance of the new disability paradigm may even be counterproductive: by being so easy it runs the risk of ignoring how negative assumptions and attitudes about disability (held by both disabled and non-disabled people) are so deeply ingrained and continually reinforced.

Furthermore, understanding the strength and social authority of these attitudes demands a genuine awareness of the unequal power relationships that define the reality of disability. This applies equally to gender and ethnicity. For example, you cannot challenge sexism and racism in a ‘white man’s world’ by using non-sexist, non-racist language while accepting the power relationships in that world. Until this problem is addressed and the insidious layers of institutionalized disables are exposed and stripped away it will be impossible to develop and implement effective policies to address the poverty and disadvantage so endemic among the hundreds of millions of disabled people in the developing world.

Water for a Healthy Life and Weight!

There has yet to be discovered a magic potion for losing weight. Proper diet and regular exercise seem to be the only methods. However, the importance of water should be factored into this simple equation. While medical science has proven the positive effects of water, most people still do not drink enough of it each day.

The first reason why water is so important for weight loss has to do with metabolism of fat. The liver is in charge of this process when it comes to converting stored fat into energy. However, the liver is also responsible for aiding the kidneys that need an abundance of water in order to function properly. The liver has to perform all functions of the kidneys on its own when they are dehydrated. This means that the liver does not have the energy to metabolize fat. Drinking water allows the kidneys to focus on their job and liver to focus on its job, converting fat to energy.

Other studies have shown that drinking ice cold water actually encourages the liver to work harder and more efficiently than normal. By drinking ice cold water throughout the day, the metabolism will speed up and weight will slowly be lost without actually adjusting the diet or exercise.

Another reason why water is so important in weight loss is because dehydration actually causes people to hold more water. It sounds backwards: not drinking water causes people to hold water wait. Most people are constantly dehydrated without actually realizing it. Because their bodies have become accustomed to knowing they won’t get water, they store away every bit of water they receive for future use. Once someone begins regularly drinking an adequate amount of water, the body lets go of the excess. For this reason, adding more water to a daily routine can mean losing pounds almost instantly and thinner ankles, waist, and arms that are bloated.

Water is also vital for the digestive system to function properly. Fiber is often considered the key component of attaining a regular digestive system, but all that fiber can actually cause more problems if it does not have an adequate amount of water. While a regular digestive system will only remove weight that has already been ingested, starting a water regimen will help remove waste weight that has built up over time. Also, a healthy digestive system provides the body with more energy because toxins are not slowing it down.

Studies have shown that water is a great appetite suppressant when drunk prior to meals. Without even making an effort, most people who drink an 8 oz glass of water before a meal will eat 33% less. This is due in part to the fact that they simply get fuller quicker because the water is already taking up space. The other reason is that the food will expand as soon as it hits the water filled stomach. By drinking water before a meal, people can eat to their satisfaction and still eat less.

Water is important for every aspect of the health of the human body. By drinking more water and improving the health of the body, weight loss goals can be achieved with greater ease.

When Failure Isn’t an Option, You’ll Succeed!

The inspiring story of Thomas Edison and his 10,000 attempts to create the light-bulb should give us the encouragement to never give up. Yes, that’s right! Edison tried more than 10,000 different ways to make a glass bulb light up, and at least 9,999 times were failures. I bet it was hard for him. I bet there were moments of frustration, hair pulling, and even the odd time he felt like throwing in the towel. But he never did. I’m sure he had to continually rework his plan and stay focused on his dream of putting electric lights into homes around the world. Something in him believed that he could do it.

Don’t ever assume it was easy—not for Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Babe Ruth, Amelia Ear hart, Susan B. Anthony, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther King, Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama . . . or even for your own parents! There are millions of empowered people who have blessed our world by stepping into their power—we just don’t know their names. Whether your aspiration is to do something on a global, national, regional scale, or on a level in your own backyard, your dreams matter . . . and manifesting those dreams takes effort. Don’t ever kid yourself!

What I remind myself of is that it takes more drudgery to get up every day and go to a job you hate. It takes more exertion to live in an overweight body, dependent on medication. I know firsthand that it’s downright draining to be in an unfulfilling relationship or to be around someone who is negative or condescending. To me, that’s far harder than the energy required to keep the faith, believe in your dream, and take action! Nobody ever said it was going to be easy . . . but what’s the alternative?

Are you ready to stop waiting for someone . . . anyone . . . to wake up and notice you—notice your talents, needs, wants, and desires? Are you ready to accept yourself for who you are (for all your supposed faults, weaknesses, addictions, fears, syndromes, and dysfunctions) and love yourself regardless? If so, you are ready to become an empowered person! You’re ready to begin creating a magnificent life!

I’m sure you’ve given yourself too many “outs” in the past—too many permissible excuses, but they just don’t cut it anymore. You have a choice: to keep doing what you’ve been doing or to do something you’ve never done before. Sure, this may scare you and maybe you’re not exactly sure what to do yet. You’ll find out. You’ll make the calls, do the research, and discover your next steps. You don’t have to know the whole journey today; you just need to begin moving in the right direction.

Remind yourself that you’re worth more than you’ve been. Your life is worth more than you’ve been living. Don’t beat yourself up, guilt yourself, or blame others for your situation. It is what it is, and you’ve learned so much along the way. You’re not going to wait for anyone to give you permission to be you. You’re not going to wait anymore for someone to come along and give you the money you need to start that business, set you up on that blind date, or fix your dysfunctional family. You’re taking charge. You’re going to treat yourself the way you want to be treated and stop resisting yourself and your dreams. You’ll no longer resist asking for help when you need it or doing the things that may feel a little uncomfortable.

From this day forward, assume complete accountability for your life. You must take charge of it and do what you need to do to create a life that is genuinely yours: a life that has purpose, meaning, joy, and value. You will no longer rob yourself of your dignity, integrity, and self-respect by blaming, waiting, hoping, and praying that someone will give you the things you want. You know that if it’s going to be, it’s up to me.

You know that to achieve an empowered life, you must reach higher. You must step out of your comfort zone and your need to seek permission to live your greatest life. Make a list each evening, just before going to bed, of the seven essential action steps that you need to take the next day—seven steps that will bring you closer to your goals. Start each morning with the most important step.

You are the master of your destiny, the captain of your ship. Every choice you make (or don’t make) is yours. Never give up!

Human Beings Are Born with Dancers, and the Infants Can Recognize Different Musical Sounds!

Do the father and mother find that your infants can be happy to dance with music dance beats? Researchers in Britain and Finland find that infants can dance with music dance beats and melody. Human are born to have a talent for dance.

This research result is publishedpublished on the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of America.

Dancing with music

Marcel Zentner and Tuomas Ellora, two psychologists of the University of YORK United Kingdom and the University of Jyvaskyla respectively, played fang the classic music, the beat of the rhythm and part of the speech for the choosing of 120 infants with the age of five months to two years old, and the same time filming their responses. The researchers also employed professional ballet dancers to analyze the “dancing” motions of these infants, compared to the fitness with music.

During the testing period, the infants sat on their parents’ knees. Researches let the parents put on earphones to ensure them not hearing the music, and asked them not to move.

Researches find that the infants wave theirs arms, hands, legs, feet, bodies and head from time to time. What is more, their body languages when they heard the music are much richer than when they heard part of the speech.

Inborn Talent and Skill

For these, the researchers think that human may be born with the ability as the dancer who can dance with the music.

The American Interesting Science Site quoted Zentner as saying: “Our research shows that the infants respond more to beats than to other musical aesthetic characteristics like melody. We also find that the more rhythmic the dancing of infants with the music, the more smile the infants.”

The researchers said, though the dancing talent seems to be inherent native, but it is not clear the specific reasons.

Zentner said: “Why human has this special talent? It is also to be analyzed.” He thinks that, this talent could be one of the natural selection’s results to the human music talent, or develop from the certain human function in evolutionary processes.

Recognize Musical Sounds

Human not only is born with the dancing talent, American researchers in 2008 found that the infants also can different musical sounds.

Top 10 Health Care Tips!

You must have heard many a times before that health is wealth. And we cannot deny this truth that health is real wealth. We often miss out on the critical role our health and wellness plays in making us look physically and mentally beautiful.

The Five Healthy Mistakes in Our Daily Life

To be healthy, first we must develop a healthy life style. To eat only when hungry, thirsty before drinking and late damage to healthy exercise are all bad habits. Now, as you pointed out that the day you may be committed eight errors of life care, to help you change unhealthy habits.

1. Eating when hungry Many friends in life cannot eat on time or do not eat when not hungry, reason is "not hungry." There is often a friend finish live to eat, this is unscientific. The stay of food in the stomach only is for only 4-5 hours, so we are hungry, appetite already emptying the. At this time, gastric juice would be "self-digestion", causing gastritis or peptic ulcer, but also weaken the body's resistance to disease.

2. Drinking when thirsty some people usually do not drink habit, we must wait until thirsty to drink water when it is. In fact, when we feel thirsty, the body is already a severe water shortage. This time to add water, it is already too late. Water is the source of life, the metabolic process in the body more important than food. Physiologists tell us that each adult, each day is about 1500-2000 ml of water. After the morning or before meals for one hour, drink a glass of water, the body is beneficial. Washing water can not only gastrointestinal, but also help digestion and appetite. Survey, there are always people drinking habits, constipation and the incidence of stones was significantly lower than those who do not regularly drinking water. Drinking water also prevents diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke have a positive effect.

3. Having a rest when tired is passed down from ancestors. Only very tired should go to rest. In fact, when they feel tired, the body is already very tired. Too easy to overwork in fatigue decreases immunity of the body, so takes advantage of the disease. Whether it is mental or physical labor after working continuously for a period of time, have appropriate rest.

4. Going to bed when sleepy some friends think that only when they feel sleepy, it should go to bed. In fact, quite sleepy fatigue performance of the brain, should not wait until then go to sleep, go to bed on time and good habits, not only can protect the brain, is also very easy to fall asleep and improve sleep quality and reduce the incidence of insomnia. Person's life, about 1 / 3 of the time is spent in sleep. Sleep is the physiological processes of human metabolism. Ensure regular sleep, to ensure no less than 7 hours of sleep every day in order to maintain the normal operation of sleep clock.

5. Going to toilet when urgency many people feel very evident only in the urine, and only go to the bathroom. Even they are puzzled, rather simmering. To do so, is very bad for health. Urine stays in the body a long time, very easy to cause constipation, or to bladder over-filling. Feces and urine of toxic substances, and constantly re-absorbed by the body very easily lead to "self-poisoning." Therefore, to develop a toilet habit on time can reduce hemorrhoids, constipation and the incidence of colon cancer.

The habits determine health, unhealthy habits are harmful for health; Good habits are good for health. The living habits are the basic requirement of science health, to overcome all the bad habits and develop healthy living habits.
