Celery juice anyone? 來一杯西芹汁嗎? :D

使用Hurom juicer 跟Costco買的西芹打出來的西芹汁. Bought a Hurom juicer and tried it with Costco organic celery. 有一天Threads 跳出幾篇幾個立行每天喝500cc 西芹汁的人寫的分享心得. 查了查西芹汁怎麼喝, 就趁著去年底假期優惠買了一台榨汁機回來試試. 跟先生兩人嘗試過的感覺是, 嗯, 還可以接受但是可能無法像網路上那些嚴格執行西芹汁排毒的人這般努力. One day, I came across a few posts on Threads from people who shared their experience in drinking celery juice every day. I sort of looked up the internet about it and decided …

中年男人的煩惱- Testosterone Deficiency 睪固酮低下

The Concerns of Mid-Aged Men-Testosterone Deficiency 近期一位朋友提到印度文化裡熟悉的營養補給品Ashwagandha (又叫印度人參), 有些好奇這個是甚麼有趣的草藥., 之後在逛Costco 時, 也看到好幾牌賣這個草藥的supplements. 查了一下資料 才知道原來這個補給品不僅跟男性在中年可能經歷的更年期有關, 對於整體的身體健康來說更是有很大的影響呢! Recently a friend of mine mentioned Ashwagandha, a familiar nutritional supplement in Indian culture also known as Indian ginseng.
