【讀書心得】Drop Dead Healthy

"My friend's mom has eaten healthy all her life. Never ever consumed alcohol or any "bad" food, exercised every day, very limber, very active, took all supplements suggested by her doctor, never went in the sun without sunscreen and when she did it was for as short a period as possible- so pretty much she protected her health with the utmost that anyone could. She is now 76 and has skin cancer, bone marrow cancer and extreme osteoporosis. 

My friend's father eats bacon on top of bacon, butter on top of butter, fat on top of fat, never and I mean never exercised, was out in the sun burnt to a crisp every summer, he basically took the approach to live life to his fullest and not as others suggest. He is 81 and the doctors says his health is that of a young person."

昨天在網路上看到這一段，雖然是節錄自基努‧李維的帳號，但我記得他是不上網的，所以我懷疑這段話真的是他說的。

不過，最近剛聽完一本書《管他正統或偏方，就是要健康》（Drop Dead Healthy），裡面就出現真實的案例。作者是非常爆笑的實驗作家，常以自己當白老鼠實驗很多事情，這次他想實驗各種健康的方法。 他在書中提到一位親戚，非常注重養生，不僅注重飲食，也非常注意電磁波、細菌之類的東西，結果最後得癌症過世。

所以人會怎樣，好像不是你多在乎飲食和生活環境就能決定，應該好好享受人生。

不過，我還是非常推薦這本書，真的很爆笑，我想我會把作者的其他書都買回來看。 這本書中我最喜歡的部分，反而不是講健康的內容，而是他對家人的描述，尤其是他的祖父，我覺得非常溫馨。 另外，由於他廣泛嘗試各種有益健康的方法，查了很多資料，請教很多專家，我自己也從閱讀中得到不少收穫。
