行山道上，看見崖上一枝紅花，豔麗奪目，向路人迎笑。詳細一看，原來根生於石罅中，不禁歎異。想宇廟萬類，應時生滅，然必盡其性。花樹開花，乃花之性，率性之謂道full lace wigs，有人看見與否，皆與花無涉。故置花熱鬧場中花亦開，使生萬山叢裏花亦開，甚至使生於孤崖頂上，無人過問花亦開。

在來世，你可以自由選擇，可以成為的任何你想成為的人或物。如果這樣，你想改變現在的性別嗎？想出身皇室？想成為淵博的哲學家？還是想成為在戰鬥中得勝的士兵呢？或許，你只想回到現在的生活，即使它並非盡如人意。或許你正在被現在的去角質面膜生活所折磨，被一大堆的決定和責任，攪得焦頭爛額，而現在你只渴望一件事，那就是簡單的生活。

這是可以實現的。所以，你選擇在來世做一匹馬。你垂涎那簡單的生活：下午在草地上自由漫步，擁有漂亮的骨骼和隆起的肌肉。大步慢跑在被雪覆蓋著的平原上，自在地慢慢地甩著尾巴，還有那穿過鼻孔的口銜。

你做出了自己的決定。伴隨著咒語和揮動著的鞭子，你的身體開始變形為馬。你的肌肉開始隆起，突然長出的毛髮覆蓋了身體，就好像冬天蓋上了舒適的毯子。脖子變厚變長， 頸動脈變粗，手指變成蹄，膝蓋變得堅硬，臀部變得強壯。同時，頭骨變長，大腦也隨之發生了相應的Frankley Mart變化，隨著小腦的增長，大腦皮層退化，就這樣，人的特徵變成了馬的特徵。神經元變換了方向，神經突觸也變換成馬傳遞信號的途徑，你想體會馬的生活的願望也逐漸消失了。你對人類事物的意識逐漸消失，對人類行為的憤世嫉俗逐漸消失，而且你的人類的思維方式也逐漸消失。

就在這一瞬間，你突然意識到，自己忽略了一些問題。你越是變成馬，越是忘記了最初的case for samsung galaxy願望。你忘記了作為人的時候，你想體會馬的生活。

這清醒的瞬間，很是短暫。這是你為你的選擇而付出的代價，半人半馬的你意識到，沒有了最初的願望，你根本無法體會到簡單生活的樂趣，只有記得最初的選擇，才能體會到簡單的快樂。這還不是你所意識到的最壞的事情。你認識到，下次你帶著笨重的馬的頭腦回到這裡的時候，你已經不可能請求再變回人。你將不知道人是什麼。你的選擇，人類智慧的喪失，將是不可逆轉的。就在你失去人類智能的最後一瞬間，你絞盡腦汁地在想：是什麼地球外的更高級的生物，在尋找更簡單的生活的tooth implant信念的驅使下，轉世做了地球人。

傳授必知的減肥常識corporate premium，教你如何減肥才是最有效最科學的。

肥胖的原因有三：

(1)喜歡吃東西，

(2)生理新陳代謝發生障礙，

(3)遺傳性的肥胖

其中以喜歡吃東西的肥胖最常見。這種肥胖的發生原因是吃入過多食物，使脂肪生成過多，或過多熱量儲存所造成。一般來說，食物經過消化吸收後，約有10%會變成糞便排出，約有45%用於同化作用，即生成身體的新成份，約有9%是消化吸收過程需要，約有36%是基礎代謝作用及活動能量消耗所需要。

脂肪生成的簡單過程如下：

吃入的碳水化合物經消化吸收變成血糖，提供活動所需要的熱量，超過身體需要時，血糖會變成肌肉肝醣，以備不時之需。如果此時有更多的血糖存在，則會變成肝臟肝醣。蛋白質經過消化吸收變成氨基酸，再變成我們身體所需的蛋白質。脂肪經過消化吸收變成三酸甘油脂，再變成脂肪儲存在體內。每公克碳水化合物可提供能量約為4千卡，蛋白質每公克可提供熱量4千卡，脂肪每公克則可供熱量9千卡。因此食物脂肪不要吃太多。理想進食方式以碳水化合物約佔50%，蛋白質大約佔20%，脂肪不超過30%為最理想。
減肥的目標與順序可分為四個advertising premium：減輕體重，減少肥肉脂肪，瘦身，塑身。

減輕體重可藉減少水分或飲食量或適度運動達成。

減少肥肉脂肪則除了前述步驟外，還需要過度的運動才可達成。

瘦身是指減少肥肉脂肪以後，某些部位例如腰圍要繼續縮小，如此身體才不會因為減肥而變難看。

塑身則指特定部位要變大，如肩膀或胸部的寬度或厚度要增加，如此才可達到塑造美麗的身材。

減輕體重步驟決定骨架大小，骨架大小可用手腕髖骨的寬度區分為大中小三種。由於國際上認知標準未統一，因此用一般人均屬於中型骨架為基準即可。

根據體態指數(BMI)算出理想體重，男性的標準體態指數是22，女性的標準體態指數是21。體態指數乘以身高的公尺數兩次，即可得到標準體重的公斤數。

舉例說，即公式為BMI(例如女性是21) x 身高的公尺數(例如1.6公尺)x 身高的公尺數(例如1.6公尺)=標準體重的公斤數(53.76公斤，四捨五入則為54公斤)。中型骨架的標準體重採用前述計算出的標準體重值，中型骨架準體重加百分之十則是大型骨架的標準體重，中型骨架準體重減百分之十則是小型骨架的標準體重。

由基礎代謝率算出身體基本需要熱量，男性的基礎代謝率是每公斤每小時是1.0千卡，女性則是每公斤每小時0.9千卡。所以男性每天約需1440千卡來維持基本生理的新陳代謝。女性則約需1300千卡。

計算每天活動所需熱量，一般非運動型的上班族的男性約1200到1400千卡就夠了。女性則約1100到1200千卡。

每天所需熱量為身體基本需要熱量與每天活動所需熱量的總和，即男性約需2600到2800千卡左右，女性約需2400到2500千卡左右。
參考一般食品書籍，設計每餐食物種類及份量business gift，併計算出每天飲食的總熱量。如果飲食總熱量等於每天活動所需熱量則體重不變。如果減少飲食熱量則會因一般活動消耗熱量而慢慢減輕體重，如果加上適度運動則可加速體重的減輕。劇烈運動則下降更快。

常見主要的減肥方式

減少飲食的熱量。增加運動量來消耗熱量。吃瀉藥減少熱量吸收。服藥降低食慾。服用纖維質和水使腸胃有膨脹感而厭食。服用藥物特殊藥物使脂肪的生成減少。外科手術拿走或抽掉脂肪。減少胃空間，使吃進的食物份量減少的胃隔手術。壓力會減輕體重，例如工作壓力，經神壓力，纏足等均可減輕體重。
常見減肥失敗原因

忍不住美味食物的誘惑。沒有恆心減肥運動executive gift。缺乏減肥同伴而無法長期減肥。生理上特殊原因或障礙，造成減肥無法成功。
