| Gap teeth: The new face of fashion |
豁齿模特流行 |
| The gap-toothed smile flashed by top models such as Jessica Hart, Lara Stone and Georgia Jagger is leading to a boom in the U.S. in quirky cosmetic orthodontic procedures in place of the perfect, straight white smiles, the Guardian reports. Some models are having brackets inserted between their front teeth to widen the gap and improve their careers and American dentists report that veneers with slight staining, grooves and overlaps are growing in popularity. Last week the New York Times reported that demand is growing for customized imperfect veneers despite the cost of up to $2,500. Standard veneers cost around $700. |

| Drinking beer helps you lose weight |
空腹喝啤酒有助减肥 |
| Drinking beer when your stomach is empty can help you lose weight, according to the website Health.dahe.cn. Refined dietary fiber in the yeast contained in beer can absorb fat during the digestion process and will eventually be discharged along with the fat. In addition, minerals and vitamin B contained in the yeast can accelerate the body's metabolism. Those who want to lose weight should drink at least two bottles of beer a day on an empty stomach and gradually increase their consumption. Do not eat when you drink and it will work only after you drink for a long time. There are few side effects as beer contains only natural ingredients. |
据大河健康网报道，空腹喝啤酒能起到减肥作用。这是因为啤酒中含有啤酒酵母，而啤酒酵母所含的优质膳食纤维能在食物消化过程中吸附脂肪，最终排出体外。另外，啤酒酵母中的维生素B和矿物质能促进机体加快体内脂肪代谢。但是，喝啤酒减肥必须空腹喝，一次2瓶以上，根据自身情况合理增加饮用量，并且不吃任何食物，坚持下去才能起到效果。由于啤酒的成分都是天然的，对身体的副作用小。 |
