The Coconut Oil Cure　神奇椰子油

　　Recently, yoga, meditation, and essential oils have had a surge of renewed popularity as ways of improving your health. Though essential oils have been all the rage, we should not forget about the oils that we use in everyday life. Olive, sesame, and coconut oil can be bought at most grocery stores for a fraction of the price of essential oils. Research proves that these common oils are just as beneficial as their sexily scented cousins.

　　Associated with high cholesterol and heart disease, the consumption of saturated fats has been discouraged. Coconut oil, which is a saturated fat, has also been given a bad rap. But in countries such as the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and some parts of New Zealand, coconut oil is used in large amounts for cooking. It turns out that people in these areas have lower cholesterol and a lower incidence of heart disease.

　　Lately, studies have proven that Western health trends have been misleading when it comes to the benefits of coconut oil. In fact, coconut oil is now being hyped as "The Miracle Oil." Researchers suggest lower cholesterol, clear and healthy skin, and even weight loss are some of the beneficial side effects of using coconut oil. While experts have yet to find a cure-all for human ailments, it may do us all good to give different things a try.

　　近来瑜伽、静坐和精油因对健康有益而重新掀起一股热潮。虽然精油已风靡全球，但我们也不应忘了日常生活中所使用的油。橄榄油、芝麻油和椰子油皆可在杂货店里用一点小钱买到。研究证明这些常见的油就和芳香迷人的精油一样有益健康。

　　饱和脂肪向来和高胆固醇及心脏疾病划上等号，因此通常不鼓励食用饱和脂肪。椰子油也因为是饱和脂肪而大受挞伐。但在有些国家，像是菲律宾、斯里兰卡以及新西兰的部分地区，椰子油在料理时被大量使用。结果显示这些地区的人胆固醇指数较低，也较不易罹患心脏疾病。

　　近来的研究则显示西方的健康潮流在椰子油的益处方面一直存在误导。事实上椰子油现在被炒作成“神奇之油”。研究员表示使用椰子油会带来低胆固醇、干净健康的皮肤和减重等附加效益。在专家尚未找出一样治疗人类所有病痛的万灵丹之前，多尝试一些不同的东西也不错。

Oprah the Great　脱口秀女王 奥普拉

　　Oprah Winfrey, one of today's most influential philanthropists and entrepreneurs, believes that success is not about money, fame or material possessions. The American talk-show host considers feeling comfortable with who she is to be the true measure of success. This belief has aided her not only in bettering herself, but also in working to improve the lives of countless others.

　　Through her highly-rated, self-produced Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah has talked her way into the hearts of millions. At the age of 19, she became the youngest, as well as the first African-American anchorwoman at Nashville's WTVF-TV. Within a few years of relocating to Chicago, she was hosting her own daytime TV show.

　　Oprah's childhood was turbulent, to say the least. As a child, she experienced both physical and sexual abuse. In order to cope with these horrors, Oprah became an avid reader. Through books, she discovered worlds better than her own. She came to realize the importance of education when she was still young. In time, she created organizations such as Oxygen-Media and the Oprah's Angels Network to promote education worldwide. These efforts and others have been instrumental in the lives of many disadvantaged women and children.

　　Oprah's honesty, dedication, and sincere desire for global betterment have garnered her countless awards and honors. At one point during her career, she was the highest-paid woman in the world, but according to Oprah, without self-acceptance, all of her material gain would be of no value.

　　奥普拉‧温弗瑞是当今最具影响力的慈善家和企业家，她相信成功无关乎金钱、名声或物质财富。这位美国的脱口秀主持人认为自我认同才算是真正达到成功。这个信念不只使她自我提升，也有效改善了其他无数人的生活。

　　透过自己监制的高收视率节目《奥普拉脱口秀》，奥普拉深入数百万人的心坎。十九岁时她就成了WTVF电视台最年轻，也是第一位的非裔美籍女主播。移居芝加哥几年后，她就拥有自己的日间节目。

　　奥普拉的童年可说是狂乱不安的。她在童年时期受到虐待和性侵害。为了克服这些恐惧，她成为一个热爱阅读的人。经由书本，她发现了一个比她的世界更美好的地方。奥普拉年轻时便了解教育的重要性。后来她创建了“氧气传媒”和“奥普拉天使网络”等组织来向全世界推广教育。这些努力和其他种种对于许多弱势的妇女和儿童都有所帮助。

　　奥普拉坦诚的个性、奉献的精神和认真想改善这个世界的态度为她赢得无数的奖项和荣耀。在事业上她曾一度成为全世界最高薪的女性，然而根据奥普拉所言，不能自我认同的话，再多的物质收益也没有价值。
