首先來說明一下方法 ① 的「調整脊椎藉此整頓『大腦』與『末端』的交通網」。自律神經的運作，分成交感神經與副交感神經兩大部分，這方面如第一章所述。接下來在本章節，將針對這些神經的「通道」為大家做介紹。

這個交感神經鍊會成為大腦與末端的中繼點，自律神經來自大腦的指令，會暫時進入這個交感神經鍊，接著經過名為自律神經節的中繼中心，再各自前往目的地。假設交感神經鍊是類似高速公路或國道這樣長長的直線道路，也許自律神經節就像是高速公路的收費站或是服務區一樣。

不只有「吃魚會聰明」，近年研究指出，長期攝取多種堅果，有助於改善高齡者腦血管功能與認知表現，進一步提升記憶能力！但是不同種類的堅果怎麼選比較好呢？日本專家分析8種常見堅果的營養成分，吃對有望幫助降血壓、護眼和抗老！

針對平均年齡65歲的28名健康長者，進行隨機、單盲交叉實驗。參與者在4個月內每週攝取60克混合堅果（包含核桃、開心果、腰果、榛果等），並對比沒有吃堅果的控制期，結果發現，吃堅果後大腦右額葉、左額葉、頂葉及雙側前額皮層等腦部區域，血流量顯著增加，視覺空間記憶和語言記憶也提升，顯示將堅果納入日常飲食，有助改善腦血管功能，提升高齡者的記憶力。

Introduction

The legalization of cannabis in Canada represents a significant milestone in the evolution of drug policy.The timeline from initial proposals to full legalization in 2018 illustrates the complexities involved in such a monumental shift. Understanding this legislative process is crucial for grasping the nuances of the laws that govern cannabis use today. This article examines the legalization process in Canada, highlighting the extensive debate and careful consideration given to public health and safety throughout.

Key Legislation

The cornerstone of cannabis legalization in Canada is the Cannabis Act (Bill C-45), which was passed in June 2018. This legislation was designed to regulate the production, distribution, sale, and possession of cannabis. The primary objectives of the Cannabis Act included reducing the illicit market, protecting youth from cannabis-related harms, and ensuring public health and safety. By establishing a legal framework, the government aimed to control the quality and distribution of cannabis while minimizing the risks associated with its use.

Introduction

Before the legalization of cannabis in Canada in 2018, its use was deeply embedded in a complex web of social, legal, and political factors.Understanding this historical context is crucial, as it illustrates how societal attitudes evolved over time, ultimately leading to a significant shift in drug policy. This article explores the journey toward cannabis legalization in Canada, highlighting the interplay of early legislation, changing public perceptions, advocacy efforts, and the political landscape.

Early Legislation

The story of cannabis in Canada begins with its initial criminalization. In the early 20th century, cannabis was viewed predominantly as a dangerous substance, leading to its prohibition in 1923. This legal stance reflected broader societal fears and misconceptions about drug use. During this period, public perception was largely influenced by international drug treaties, such as the Opium Convention of 1925, which framed cannabis as a global threat. As a result, Canada adopted stringent laws that shaped the narrative around cannabis, characterizing its users as criminals rather than individuals seeking therapeutic or recreational use.

絕大多數人應該都聽過「早餐要吃好，午餐要吃飽，晚餐要吃少」的說法，而且我相信關於「要好好吃早餐」的告誡大家也聽過不少。那麼，為什麼早餐如此重要呢？是什麼讓它區別於午餐和晚餐引起人們的格外重視呢？

其實，不用我說大家也知道，很多人的早餐是隨意打發，甚至是不吃早餐的。我的兩個姪女，自從離家讀大學開始，再也不吃早餐了。問她們為什麼？回答說想多睡會兒。上午有課的時候，睡到課前匆匆爬起來去教室，沒課的時候乾脆睡到十點鐘，然後起床梳洗後直接吃午餐。

日本著名喜劇演員大村崑，在19歲時因罹患肺結核而切除了右肺，當時醫生甚至預言他只能活到40歲。因此，他在老年時特別注重身體健康，如今，大村崑已93歲，卻依然精神飽滿，不僅身體健壯、牙齒健康，還能輕鬆走1公里且不感到疲累，甚至能夠深蹲40公斤！那麼，他是如何保持長壽和健康的呢？

他不僅沒有裝任何假牙，甚至連蛀牙和牙周病都沒有。他每天固定會刷牙5次，每兩個月定期去牙醫診所清潔一次牙結石。正因如此，他在日本齒科醫師會推動的「8020運動」（即80歲時仍能擁有20顆以上的自然牙齒）中也獲得了表彰。

提到傳染病，一般會想到感冒、腸胃炎、肺炎等等由細菌病毒導致的疾病，但你可曾想過…其實肥胖也可能是一種傳染病？！如果你的朋友是胖子，你變成胖子的機率更高喔，這叫做「行為傳染效應」，朋友的習慣，會變成你的習慣！
美國有一篇研究很有趣，是關於肥胖的傳染性。在兄弟之間，如果你的弟弟變胖了，那麼你變胖的機率會增加44%；在姐妹之間，這一數字是67%。

Introduction

As the global landscape shifts toward more progressive drug policies, cannabis legalization has emerged as a prominent trend in various countries. Understanding these international dynamics is crucial for grasping the broader implications of legalization efforts. Canada’s approach to cannabis legalization provides valuable insights for other nations contemplating similar reforms. This article explores the international perspectives on cannabis legalization, highlighting comparisons with other countries, global trends, and Canada’s potential role as a model for future policy.

Comparison with Other Countries

Several countries have moved toward cannabis legalization, each taking different approaches. In North America, various U.S. states, such as Colorado and California, have legalized recreational cannabis, offering lessons in regulatory frameworks, taxation, and public health strategies. These states have experienced both benefits, such as increased tax revenue, and challenges, including ongoing black market activity and public health concerns.
