Healing Touch

The skin is the body's largest organ. Doctors recommend applying sunscreen to it to protect it from the sun's harmful rays. Drinking plenty of water keeps it properly moisturized as well. Hygienists advise you to bathe daily and wash your hands frequently to keep your skin free of harmful bacteria and fungi. These are common ways to keep your skin healthy, but there is something so beneficial to your skin and your life that you may have overlooked it, and that is the power of touch to stimulate health.

Touch is a powerful healing tool. Premature babies who are massaged daily gain weight 47 percent faster than babies in the same condition who are not massaged. They also go home from the hospital an average of six days sooner. Massage relieves an adult's aching muscles, relaxing both body and mind. In the form of a hug, touch causes people of all ages to smile.

At the University of Miami's Touch Research Institute (TRI), they have discovered that touch is the first sense humans develop—and the last one to fade. Researchers set up a volunteer program with senior citizens aged 60 and over. The seniors were given three weeks of massage and were then trained in giving massages to toddlers. The old proverb, "It is better to give than to receive", held true in this study. The senior citizens showed fewer signs of depression and had lower stress hormone levels. Thus, it is clear that the importance of touch is both universal and ageless.

抚摸的神奇疗效

皮肤是身体最大的器官。医师建议涂抹防晒油保护皮肤，以防止太阳有害射线带来的伤害。摄取大量水分也可以保持皮肤适度的湿润。卫生保健专家建议要天天洗澡，经常洗手，让有害的细菌霉菌无法附着于皮肤上。这些都是保持皮肤健康的一般方法，但还有一种对你的肌肤和生活都很有益处，却可能被你忽略的方法，就是借由抚摸来促进健康。

抚摸是一种很有效的治疗方法。每天接受按摩的早产儿与没有接受按摩的早产儿相比，增重速度快百分之四十七。他们也平均早六天离开医院回家。按摩可缓解成年人的肌肉酸痛，使身心舒畅。拥抱式的接触也可使老老少少都露出笑容。

位于迈阿密大学的触感研究所发现，触觉是人类第一个形成，也是最后一个衰退的感官。研究人员成立了一个由六十岁以上老人所组成的志愿者项目。老人们接受三个星期的按摩后，再接受训练为学步的幼儿按摩。俗语“施比受更有福”在此实验中获得验证。老人家较少表现出忧郁的迹象，压力荷尔蒙的分泌也降低了。由此可知，抚摸的重要性是不分国界和年龄的。

Global Treasure Hunt

021yin.com, where other hikers can use them, along with a global positioning system (GPS), to join the worldwide goose chase. Geocaching works on an honor system: When a geocacher takes something, he leaves a cache of his own behind. Vacationers can get in on this trend at resorts like Utah's Red Mountain Spa, where they can learn to use GPS and coordinates to find caches filled with spa products.

地理藏宝

021yin.com这个网站上，其他徒步旅行者就可利用这些坐标以及全球卫星定位系统 (GPS) 参与全球性的大搜索。“地理藏宝”按荣誉制度进行，意即：搜寻者取得宝物时，也必须留下自己的宝物。度假者可以在犹他州红山水疗区 (Red Mountain Spa) 之类的度假胜地搭上这个热潮，在这里他们可以学习使用GPS及坐标来搜寻装有水疗用品的宝物。
