A recent long-term study looking at data on nearly 4,000 US adults found no benefit in terms of overall risk of dying from standing as opposed to sitting.
近日，一项对4000名美国成年人数据的长期研究发现，从整体的死亡风险的角度，站着并不比坐着更有好处。
In the short-term, however, standing does burn more calories per minute; so if losing weight is all you're worried about, stand on!
然而，就短期而言，站着每分钟消耗的热量的确更多；因此，如果你只是想减肥的话，那就站着吧！

Viruses like HIV and herpes are fragile, meaning they don't survive very well outside of a nice, warm human body. By the time you sit down on a public toilet seat - even if it was recently shared by someone else — most harmful pathogens likely wouldn't be able to infect you.
艾滋病病毒和疱疹病毒这类病毒非常脆弱，这意味着它们无法在温暖且宜于生存的人体之外的地方正常生存。当你坐上公用的坐便器（即使是刚有别人使用过的）时，大部分此类有害病原体无法感染你。
Plus, your skin is an effective block against any microbes. (Unless, of course, you have a cut or open wound there, which could allow the bacteria to get in.)
此外，皮肤能够有效抵御任何微生物。（除非你有开放性伤口，这可能让细菌趁机而入。）
[b]3. Applying hand sanitizer.

If you wash your hands regularly throughout the day, hand sanitizer is almost entirely unnecessary. Plus, it can't kill all the germs that plain old soap and water can.
如果你每天经常洗手，那么几乎没必要使用洗手液。而且洗手液并不能杀死普通香皂和水能杀死的全部细菌。
Norovirus and C. difficile, for example, are immune to sanitizing gels.
例如，消毒凝胶剂对诺瓦克病毒和梭状芽孢杆菌没有效果。 [p=28, 2, left][b]4. Ear candling.[/b][/p][p=28, 2, left][b]耳烛疗法[/b][/p]

People who do it say it's helpful for relieving earwax and treating some infections. According to the Mayo Clinic, not so much.[/p][p=28, 2, left]耳烛疗法就是把点燃的锥形蜡烛伸进耳朵里。耳烛疗者认为这样有助于去除耳垢，治疗某些感染。据梅约疗养院（注：美国著名私人医院）称，耳烛疗法其实没有这么多疗效。[/p][p=28, 2, left]"Research shows," they write, "that ear candling is ineffective at removing earwax and is also not an effective treatment for any other conditions." Plus, the practice can end up pushing earwax deeper into your ear. Even worse, you can burn your face, hair, scalp, or ear. So don't.[/p][p=28, 2, left]“研究显示，耳烛疗法无法有效清除耳垢，而且对其他病症也没有什么疗效。”此外，这么做还可能将耳垢推得更深，更糟糕的是可能还会烧到你的脸、头发、头皮或耳朵。因此，还是算了吧。[/p][p=28, 2, left][b]5. Avoiding gluten.[/b][/p][p=28, 2, left][b]避免谷蛋白[/b][/p]
[p=28, 2, center][img=640,0]http://img1.gtimg.com/edu/pics/hv1/4/185/2167/140956354.jpg[/img][/p][p=28, 2, left]Unless you're one of the 1% of Americans who suffer from celiac disease, gluten probably won't have a negative effect on you.

Juicing.[/b][/p][p=28, 2, left][b]榨汁[/b][/p]

Avoiding MSG.[/b][/p][p=28, 2, left][b]避免味精[/b][/p]

Eating too much is the more likely culprit here, not eating MSG.[/p][p=28, 2, left]人们通常将味精与颈部下端麻木、疲劳感等一系列症状联系到一起，并将其统称为“中国餐馆综合症”。但这些病症的罪魁祸首可能是吃得太多，而不是吃了味精。[/p][p=28, 2, left][b]8.
