Pelvic floor muscle exercises. To do pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels), imagine that you're trying to stop your urine flow. Squeeze the muscles you would use to stop urinating and hold for a count of three and repeat. With Kegels, it can be difficult to know whether you're contracting the right muscles and in the right manner. In general, if you sense a pulling-up feeling when you squeeze, you're using the right muscles. Men may feel their penises pull in slightly toward their bodies. To double-check that you're contracting the right muscles, try the exercises in front of a mirror. Your abdominal, buttock or leg muscles shouldn't tighten if you're isolating the muscles of the pelvic floor.

[Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone, which is released from the pituitary gland and it regulates the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4) from the thyroid gland. Its level is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism from T3 and T4, which means that if T3 and T4 are low, the TSH level goes up and when T3 and T4 are high, the TSH levels go down. While treating thyroid hormone deficiency, as thyroid hormone pill is given the TSH levels become normal once the dose is appropriate.]

Zeaxanthin : In 2007, in a 6-year study, John Paul SanGiovanni of the National Eye Institute, Maryland found that EyeSight Lutein supplement: 6mg (1) every other day. lutein and zeaxanthin (nutrients in eggs, spinach and other green vegetables) protect against blindness (aged macular degeneration AMD), affecting 1.2 million Americans, mostly after age 65. Lutein and zeaxanthin reduce the risk of AMD and skin dicease. Foods considered good sources of the nutrients also include kale, spinach, turnip_greens, collard_greens, romaine_lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, corn, garden peas, swiss chard and Brussels sprouts. ---needed 6mg Lutein/day[Q&A]

The evidence points to the importance of maintaining a stable amount of zeaxanthin and lutein predominantly in the fovea, but also in the macular periphery and the lens, to maintain eye health throughout our senescent years.

spine-health.com: Acupuncture 針刺.
Acupuncture is thought to operate by:
Release of opioid peptides. Opioids are naturally occurring chemicals in the brain that have an analgesic effect. The release of these opioids plays a significant role in the reduction of pain. There has been considerable evidence to support that acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, releasing these chemicals.
Alteration in the secretion of neurotransmitters and neurohormones. Acupuncture is said to activate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and thereby alter secretion of these chemicals. These particular chemicals play a direct role in the sensation of pain as well as the activity of an organ or organs. Evidence has shown that acupuncture alters this secretion in a manner that reduces pain. Documentation has also shown that acupuncture positively affects immune functions in the body.
Stimulation of electromagnetic points on the body. The 2,000 points of the body that acupuncture focuses on are theorized to be strategic conductors of electromagnetic signals. Stimulation of these areas is believed to start the flow of endorphins - the body's natural painkillers.
