31、欧洲。 其中,白俄罗斯占据榜首,国民年人均摄入纯酒精量为 17 5升,紧随其后的是摩尔多瓦共和国, 16 8升。 澳大利亚和加拿大的酒精消耗量也很高,分别为每年人均 12 2升和 10 2升。 在美国,这一数据略低,为 9 2升。 但在北非和中东,人均酒精摄入量低于 2 5升,这些地区的许多国家甚至低于 l升。 全球的平均值为每人每年摄入酒精 6 2升。 报道指出,由于全球仅有不到一半的人 (38 3 )饮酒,这就意味着饮酒者实际每年平均 摄入 17升纯酒精。 世界卫生组织发出警告,饮酒会增加 200多种疾病的发病几率,包括肝硬化和某些癌症。 世界卫生组织非传染性疾病和心理健康方面的副总干事奥
32、列格 -切斯诺夫博士说: “我们需要付出更多努力,来保护人们免受酒精摄入带来的不良健康影响。 ” “报告清晰地指出,在减少酒精的危害方面决不能掉以轻心。 ” 报告还指出,男性因饮酒导致的死亡率比女性高,男性为 7 6,女性为 4。但也有证据表明,相比于男性,女性更易因饮酒引发健康问题。 世界卫生组织心理健康和药物滥用中心主任舍 哈尔 ?萨克斯内博士说: “我们发现全球有大约 16的饮酒者偶尔会饮酒过量,人们称之为 豪饮 ,这是最有害健康的。 ” “低收入群体更易受到酒精造成的社会、健康方面的影响。他们通常没有高质量的医疗保障,而且缺乏家庭和社区网络的功能性保护。 ” 这份报告也强调国家包括国家

35、补偿前晚欠缺的睡眠或准 备今晚熬夜,则是有益的。 要培养易于入睡的习惯,可试试以下方法: 第一:坚持每晚定时睡觉。 第二:睡前尽量避免紧张脑力活动,诸如研究厚厚的公文等。相反,试试深呼吸,瑜珈功或轻轻伸展一下身体以减轻一天的压力。专家们还建议在床头柜放一个笔记本,记下第二天要办的琐事。每晚睡前坚持这样做,就会让身心都做好睡眠准备。 第三:给自己一个良好环境,消除干扰的噪音,创造一个放松的氛围。保持凉爽人们通常在华氏 65-69的房间内睡得最好。尽量使你的床舒适并有足够的空间。睡眠专家建议夫妻睡 特大号床,这样就不会在晚上互相干扰。 第四:少喝酒,不抽烟。酒精使睡眠不安宁。香烟的刺激作用就像洗冷

They hope the tablet/ pill, which is being tested on rats, mice, fish and dogs, will allow people to live to at least 120. Researcher Dr. Maxim Skulachev, from the Moscow State University project, said: “ A lot of aging
47、diseases developed much slower/ at a much slower rate. “ The scientists are using a “ new type of antioxidant“ , which they hope will impact on the mitochondria, the energy-producing part of cells, which is seen as triggering aging (is believed to set off senility). “The mitochondria,“ he added, “ca

That was the case with cancer, which was a rare disease when ancient people died much younger. “ The Russian tests have not led to a significant life span increase, but delayed the onset of aging, he said. “ If it turns out that diseases develop more slowly, our idea to fight aging through mitochondria is the right one“, added Dr. Skulachev, who h
