Calcium And Milk


How can we keep our bones healthy and strong? Most of people know that calcium can help slow the loss of bone as we grow up and get older. And many people think that dairy product like milk is the best resource of calcium for us.

According to some research that the good of milk is that it is a good source of Vitamin D, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Calcium and Phosphorus. But all of the things in the world have the opposite side. The bad of milk is that it is high in Saturated Fat, and a large portion of the calories come from sugars. A lot of women want to be thinner and thinner, so for a long time they only drink milk in their diet. This is a wrong way and it will hurt us. Because dairy products can be high in saturated fat as well as retinol (vitamin A), which at high levels can paradoxically weaken bones.

We can drink milk every day, but it must be moderate. And we can get enough calcium from other things. Good, non-dairy sources of calcium include collards, bok choy, fortified soy milk, baked beans, and supplements that contain both calcium and vitamin D (a better choice than taking calcium alone).

Sometimes there are a lot of things that we may think it is obviously right. But I think some of them are some people who want to sell their products as well as possible to spread the news. So we should think about the obvious things and have an accuracy decision. Like milk, like our life.

Mega Drop

I think that most of people like amusement park very much. Me, too. There was a small park near my home.  When I was a child, I often asked my parents to take me there.  When I was there, I really felt happy and I wanted to play all the games. 

When I graduated from junior high school, I went to Changchun, the provincial capital of Jilin Province, to meet my friend. She took me to Shengli Park and we began to play there. I thought I was brave enough to play whatever the game was. Then we played pirate ship, bumper cars, big wheel and so on. We were so excited and we wanted to play other games. But when we saw mega drop, she told me she would not take it again. She thought that was really scary and she couldn't afford it. So I went on it by myself and I said this must not be that. The mega drop went up slowly and stopped at the top. There was very high and the people on the ground looked like ants. I didn't know when it would go down. Suddenly, it went down very fast and I was very very scary because I thought I was not sat in the seat. It felt like I was threw out and I would be dead. Then it stopped, and went up and down again. 

Finally, I could get down and my friend asked me if it was scary or not. I said it was totally not scary and I wanted to do it again in the future. But Until now, I haven't taken it again even though I can play the roller coaster and other exciting games.

Ice and Snow World

The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival will be held in Harbin, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province every year. The Ice and Snow World is built near the Songhua River and it will attract a lot of tourists. The Ice and Snow world looks like a real world built by ice and snow and in the ice there are a lot of beautiful lights making there like the day even at night.  I have been there once and I think there were really beautiful and actually very cold, too. The temperature could be minus 35 degrees below. When you stand outside, you can see some white smog around the world. People must wear a lot of thick and heavy clothes to make themselves warm. If you are the first time to be there, you will think the world is fantastic. Some of the ice buildings look like towers and you can go up to see the scene. Sometime the ice building is made like a beer bottle and the color of the light will let you think the real beer is there. Most of the ice buildings look like palaces or castles. The ice blocks are big and strong and they are made by some machines. The workers put them together to build the ice buildings. There are some huge slides, too. The tourists can play there with their friends or families. The music there will make you excited and you also can hear people laughing. If you have time, you can go there and look and feel the very wonderful world.
