身体都有生理时钟，不同时间有不同工作，应该配合生理时钟，才能有健康身体哦！
午夜 12:00 ~ 1:00
浅眠期
多梦而敏感，身体不适者易在此时痛醒。
凌晨 1:00 ~ 2:00
排毒期
此时肝脏为排除毒素而活动旺盛， 应让身体进入睡眠状态，让肝脏得以完成代谢废物。
凌晨 3:00 ~ 4:00
休眠期
重症病人最易发病的时刻，常有患病者在此时死亡， 熬夜最好勿超过这个时间。
上午 9:00 ~ 11:00
精华期
此时为注意力及记忆力最好，且工作与学习的最佳时段。
中午 12:00 ~ 1:00
午休期
最好静坐或闭目休息一下再进餐，正午不可饮酒，易醉又伤肝哦！
下午 2:00 ~ 3:00
高峰期
是分析力和创造力得以发挥淋漓的极致时段！
下午 4:00 ~ 5:00
低潮期
体力耗弱的阶段，最好补充水果来解馋，避免因饥饿而贪食致肥胖。
下午 5:00 ~ 6:00
松散期
此时血糖略增，嗅觉与味觉最敏感，不妨准备晚膳来提振精神。
晚上 7:00 ~ 8:00
暂憩期
最好能在饭后 30 分钟去散个步或沐浴，放松一下，纾解一日的疲倦困顿。
晚上 8:00 ~ 10:00
夜修期
此为晚上活动的巅峰时段，建议您善用此时进行商议，进修等要思虑周密的活动。
晚上 11:00 ~ 12:00
夜眠期
经过镇日忙碌，此时应该放松心情进入梦乡，千万别让身体过度负荷，那可得不偿失哦！
Read in the papers last time and told quite a few of my frens,
Best water drinking time,
7am to 9am and 2pm to 5pm.
most efficient in flushing out of toxins!
not advisible to drink alot before bed time, if you had enuff of water during the day, you wont feel thirsty in the nite (this i'm not sure if really true, somebody can go try it and tell me! ha)
dont only drink when you are feeling thirsty! not enuff~
for ppl who have pain in the joints like me, dun take too much cold drinks!

theNIGHTsafari~!
wHeee.. it was planned a long to ensure that jiaqi can go night safari with me after exams! haa
friday night with no training on sat morning, a rare chance for some night outings and i never been to there before, so he's bringing me =)
we went to cck to take bus 927 and we didnt know the frequency is like every half an hour, so we went to fill up our tummy first.
the bus there isnt v long, i think 20mins.
first stop is the animal show. it was pretty interesting to watch it in the night and of cos no flashed photography and of cos, some idiots will just take a pic with the flash. haha but everyone will 'OEIiiiiiiii' when they saw a flash. haha but many of them are not locals you see.. mayb oei is a universal language too. heh
one of the tricks they play again and again is the animal-go-missing act. haha this time its a big python call maggie. then after they found it the host want to invite a macho man up on the stage, i was so eager to push jq up but he doesnt want to.. haha (there goes a free ben & jerry's). an angmoh went up instead and they threw the big snake over his shoulders la. i think the snake is heavy.. it takes 4 of the staffs to carry it. ha
den the tram ride! its abt 45 mins long and bring you ard to see some animals that you wont get to see on the walking trails. i think the animals were too close to us for comfort. jq and i keep thinking that the deers or the hyhenas can easily jump out! we saw alot of deers and cows thou. haha all the predators were like asleep, like the lions, the tigers, the leopards, the aligators... (Zzzz) heh make me fall asleep on the tram too. ha i dunno why i got tired.. must be the work in the day!
after the tram, we went to walk around on the walking trails. i honestly felt abit scared... cos its like dark and like not many ppl walking ard... i was afraid that we went on the wrong path and end up in some animals' den la!! haha useless worries i know.. actually i'm more scared that some insects fly into my hair la. heh it was quiet most animals are not that responsive other than the otters. they were so noisy and they keep looking at you and finding ways to get closer to you. or mayb becos we have food. heh
went to see the leopards and it was sleeping just beside the glass pane. wow it is BIG! imagine it is your pet cat.. haha i wish~ seldom u can get to see it so close up you know.. very nice fur they have.. and think they get abit senile after being kept in the place for long, the other leopard just keep pacing up and down in circles..
the tiger is next interesting one. it was AWAKE. oki, more than that. it was standing and facing the glass pane, there were 2 angmohs squatting in front looking at it. den when jq and i were walking towards the tiger, it suddenly ran forward to the glass pane and the 2 angmohs jumped! haha scared them. the tiger must be thinking, stupig humans.. easily entertained... haha den the tiger bo hiew us already.. it walked away.. heh
we went into a room with bats inside, i was quite reluctant at first but i went in in the end, hiding behind jq.. haa. the bats were big lah. i tot they were the small small ones we saw sometimes on the trees. no lor, times 5 man. Eeee you can easily use your hand to touch it lor.. they were so NEAR! haa den i dragged jq out already.
was really tired after we finished walking around... and i slept all the way back... Zzz
poor darling have to cab his way home from my place.. :(

Wednesday, May 2
the day at work after a holiday.
oh well, any how i also need to come back to work, so no point sulking.
these days when i sleep, i think i'm only using one nostril to breathe. i guess its nose block but cannnot be everynite nose block one correct?!!
and thats why i google it.
okie something interesting that i saw.
Nadi Sodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
If you don't do anything else, this is a simple yoga breathing exercise that can be done virtually anywhere, anyplace. You will be glad you did. It is simply dynamic!
The name alternate nostril breathing is due to the fact that we alternate between the two nostrils when we do the breathing. Yogis believe that this exercise will clean and rejuvenate your vital channels of energy, thus the name nadi sodhana (purification of nadis or channels).
With this exercise, we breathe through only one nostril at a time. The logic behind this exercise is that normal breathing does alternate from one nostril to the other at various times during the day. In a healthy person the breath will alternate between nostrils about every two hours. Because most of us are not in optimum health, this time period varies considerably between people and further reduces our vitality. According to the yogis, when the breath continues to flow in one nostril for more than two hours, as it does with most of us, it will have an adverse effect on our health. If the right nostril is involved, the result is mental and nervous disturbance. If the left nostril is involved, the result is chronic fatigue and reduced brain function. The longer the flow of breath in one nostril, the more serious the illness will be.
Benefits
The exercise produces optimum function to both sides of the brain: that is optimum creativity and optimum logical verbal activity. This also creates a more balanced person, since both halves of the brain are functioning property.
The yogis consider this to be the best technique to calm the mind and the nervous system.
The Scientific Confirmation of Alternate Nostril Breathing
Medical science has recently discovered the nasal cycle, something that was known by the yogis thousands of years ago. Scientists have recently found that we don't breathe equally with both nostrils, that one nostril is much easier to breathe through than the other at any particular time and that this alternates about every three hours. The yogis claim that the natural period is every two hours, but we must remember these studies were done on people who do not have an optimum health level.
Scientists also discovered that the nasal cycle corresponds with brain function. The electrical activity of the brain was found to be greater on the side opposite the less congested nostril. The right side of the brain controls creative activity, while the left side controls logical verbal activity. The research showed that when the left nostril was less obstructed, the right side of the brain was predominant. Test subjects were indeed found to do better on creative tests. Similarly when the right nostril was less obstructed the left side of the brain was predominant. Test subjects did better on verbal skills.
Medical science has not quite caught up with the ancient yogis yet. The yogis went one step further. They observed that a lot of disease was due to the nasal cycle being disturbed; that is, if a person breathed for too long through one nostril. To prevent and correct this condition, they developed the alternate nostril breathing technique. This clears any blockage to air flow in the nostrils and reestablishes the natural nasal cycle. For example, the yogis have known for a long time that prolonged breathing through the left nostril only (over a period of years) will produce asthma. They also know that this so-called incurable disease can be easily eliminated by teaching the patient to breathe through the right nostril until the asthma is cured, and then to prevent it recurring by doing the alternate nostril breathing technique. The yogis also believe that diabetes is caused to a large extent by breathing mainly through the right nostril.

Technique
-Close the right nostril with your right thumb and inhale through the left nostril. Do this to the count of four seconds.
-Immediately close the left nostril with your right ring finger and little finger, and at the same time remove your thumb from the right nostril, and exhale through this nostril. Do this to the count of eight seconds. This completes a half round.
-Inhale through the right nostril to the count of four seconds. Close the right nostril with your right thumb and exhale through the left nostril to the count of eight seconds. This completes one full round.
Start by doing three rounds, adding one per week until you are doing seven rounds.
Alternate nostril breathing should not be practiced if you have a cold or if your nasal passages are blocked in any way. Forced breathing through the nose may lead to complications. In pranayama it is important to follow this rule: under no circumstances should anything be forced. If you use the nostrils for breath control they must be unobstructed. If they are not, you must practice throat breathing.
i dint know my 2 nostrils dont work together! hmmm i think that exercise is quite easy to try..
