加緊走路健身吧, 比吃補品打針更有實效.


 走路吧!

 
孫正春走到腫瘤也怕他!
孫正春身體力行100天,2個腫瘤消失了, 16種宿疾改善了! 想健康,走路最簡單,不花錢,絕無副作用!

「我覺得爸爸會抗癌成功,關鍵在於『堅持到底』。
他的確在開始長途走路的一百天內腫瘤消失了,心跳正常了, 很多人看到成效出現就停止,但他非但沒有鬆懈,反而更堅持走下去,直到現在,持續二十幾年。」

孫羽佑
孫正春之子,神經科學博士

他原本天天吃焢肉、能坐就不願站,直到癌症的陰影迫近, 才驚覺必須改變!

從完全不走路到一天走上六小時,他慢慢走,打赤腳走, 拿著啞鈴負重走;他吃樹葉、喝葉子水,打造了一個「山上的家」 三餐吃優格,徹底地改變了體質。 兩個腫瘤一百天消失不是奇蹟,而是「動、綠、奶」的有力實踐。

他到宜蘭工作,就把走路的觀念傳給同事;搬回埔里, 帶動了遠近馳名的社區「夜走」熱。

他還鼓勵原已無法進食、無法行動的癌末朋友,從吃一小滴優格、 爬行一小步開始,重獲健康。

這一份對走路的執著和熱愛,鼓舞了無數人迎向希望。

他曾花六天翻越中央山脈,從南投走到宜蘭;四十五天健走, 以一雙傷痕累累的「真皮鞋」實現赤腳環台夢想;更跨足世界, 走向義大利,兩天完攻山海雙線的考驗。

他賦予了「距離」全新的意義,只要走路到得了的地方,就不算遠。 人生的路,原來可以靠雙腳走出來,而最重要的是:堅持走下去。
「堅持到底」,讓孫正春贏回健康,更讓他走出了康莊大道!

台灣國家衛生研究院:每日健走15分鐘,延壽3年! 英國癌症團體:每日健走20分鐘,癌症死亡率減半!

走路的好處,他們都親身體會到!

孫正春之妻陳梅香曾患腎臟病,身體水腫到像懷孕, 每天走路讓她重獲健康。

紀政的尿失禁毛病因走路不藥而癒,而且6個月瘦了20公斤。

希望基金會祕書長黃純湘的癌末父親,靠走路贏回了7年人生。 

前暨南大學公共行政系教授梁雙蓮, 以走路擺脫了更年期及失眠困擾。

作家陳芸英長期受便祕所苦,開始走路的第二天, 便祕問題竟然解決 了。

走路很簡單,就是「走出去」而已。 出門多走一站搭車或提早一站下車;在公司少打一通電話, 直接走去找同事;不必刻意挑什麼健走路線,有時間就走。

把自己交給雙腳,慢慢走,不要急,才能走得遠、走得久。有人問: 「走這麼長、這麼久的路,不累嗎?」孫正春說: 「只要心不趕,就不會累。」

不管身體有多糟糕, 背一定要挺,不能垮下去,只要能動就要動,動一 下也好。
可別小看「動一下」這是很單純的求生訊號。

既然站得起來,就試 著走出去吧!一步就好。第二天再走一步,慢慢來,只要 一天進步一點點就可以。

「走路」就像每天都 要吃飯、睡覺一樣,是生命的必需品。讓走路融入每日生活, 養成隨時走路的習慣。

走路是最緩和、最舒 服的一種運動,隨時隨地都可以進行,不需要技術、不需要夥伴。

其實走路很簡單,就是走出去而已,把自己交給雙腳,慢慢走, 不要想太多,重點是持之以恆。

剛走路的人都希望走快點,趕快走完,好回家休息, 但當你走到一個程度, 就會曉得什麼樣的方式對你的身體和生理有幫助。

走路運動....不是趕路運動。
輕鬆走,慢慢走;天熱/帶條毛巾 ;天涼/帶件薄外套。

生病不是意外,是自己平常不注意自己的身體健康。病痛來襲, 只有默默承受。

走路可以運動到環跳穴,改善上熱下寒的情形, 也可以活潑足三陽的氣機,使陽下行而陰上滋,是活命之源!

愛與關懷

郭道生

今年7日28日大姊來電,問我們有没有看CNN的新聞,提及克林頓站在希拉里的後方,滿頭白髮和父親很相似;大概大姊又懷念過世的父親了,看到了克林頓仿彿像看到了父親;因此也勾起了我想寫一篇「愛與關懷」的文章,來紀念父親的那無邊深恩;父親為人大方豪爽、處處禮讓為先、時以「己所不欲,勿施於人」和「克以待己,寬以待人」為家訓,並常要我們知足常樂,以助人為快樂之本,而且常説吃虧即是佔便宜。先母經常笑著對我説道,「你爸對外人請託之事,都非常熱心、積極、認真的辦理,有無比之熱忱及動力。」受到家父此人格特質的影響,我對外人請託之事,也是非常熱心、盡心盡力的去做。父親,您的微笑讓我感到親切,您的關懷讓我感激,您的話語讓我充滿温暖。父親,您是最棒的爸爸,我敬佩您,我愛您,以至永遠。

我們每個人都會有些煩惱,也許是家庭、也許是經濟、功課或工作、也許是社會的亂象等。但是不要害怕,我們只要有愛、只要有信仰、只要擁有正面積極的想法,只要有一顆温暖的心,我們就能面對未來而不怕挑戰。

愛能讓我們的生命更完整,人們彼此相愛,生活才有意義。如能體會到關懷他人、理解他人所帶给人們的感動,並在心中種下善良的種子,才能創造充滿愛的幸福人生。畢竟只有無私的愛與關懷,才能使你的心靈感到富足與祥和,也能讓你的人生更加幸福美好。

在現今這個情感疏離且缺乏人情味的社會,每個人似乎都抱持著「各人自掃門前雪,勿管他人瓦上霜」的冷漠心態,世界上之所以會有這麼多的犯罪事件和不好的事情發生,都是因為人們忘記為自己充實改善身心靈的健康所造成的;唯有重拾人與人之間的愛與關懷,我們才有辦法拯救這個日漸生病的世界。

我們應主動關懷他人,或許對陌生人施以親切並且给予關懷,是一件微不足道或不足掛齒的事情,但是對接受關心與恩惠的人來説,心中的感動卻是無比的强烈。其實以親切的笑臉對待他人並不困難,而且這様的舉動將會轉化為遠超過我們想像的強大力量;因為真誠的微笑和關心具有强烈的傳染性,能夠間接影響許多人的心情與態度,所以我們千萬不要吝於主動付出關懷。

天底下没有一個人可以獨自生活或是完全地掌控自己,因為無論再怎麼完美的人,都會有不足的地方。當你對他人付出愛心時,其實也正在参與及分享對方的幸福;而且,不論你付出再多的愛,而你心中的愛也不會因此而匱乏;相反的,還會因為付出更多的愛,而獲得更多的幸福!就算是再怎麼完美的人,也會有犯錯的時侯,所以對於别人的過錯,我們必須懂得寬恕與包容。

我們在生活中應避免争吵,常説好話,我們的嘴巴既可以説出像花朵般的美麗話語,也能説出傷人的話語,全端看你怎麼做決定。我們也應學會尊重他人,且讓自己隨時保有感恩的心,將「請、謝謝、對不起、不好意思,麻煩你…」這些禮貌語,以及對他人的感謝之心確實表達出來,以增進人與人之間的和諧。

我們應用親切的言語温暖他人,就是對朋友説温暖的話,或是做些令對方感動的行為。雖然每個人都會説話,但是有些人説出的話卻總是如利刃般地刺傷朋友的心,有些人的話卻能像陽光一様温暖人心。所謂的愛,並不是指多麼巨大或貴重的東西,當你握住某個人的手,將温暖的心傳達给對方,或認真倾聼他人的困難時,這些看似微不足道的舉動,都可以是愛的開始;即使無法给予他人實質上的幫助,卻能夠温暖對方的心。

聖經説神就是愛,祂也是愛的源頭。愛是神的彰顯,它與神一様,看不見也摸不著,雖無可秤輕重,確是實實在在地存在。因為愛是無形體的,它必須以心靈去领受和付出。

神藉著愛向我們顯明祂的存在與真理,也藉著母愛讓我們預嘗衪永恆無限的愛!人的愛有期限,永生神的慈愛卻是永遠長存的!

主囑咐我們要洗心革面,使我們能奉行祈禱和仁愛的工作,領受重生的聖事,而獲得你無比的恩寵,成為你鍾愛的子女。主藉著父母親賜給我們生命及無止盡的愛。

因此我們隨同天主,總領天使以及天上諸聖,歌頌你們的光榮,不停地歡呼:聖! 聖!聖!
