[JOKES] Three humorous celebrity stories

Three humorous celebrity stories

Presidential clothes
Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. Throughout his presidency, he regarded himself as one of the common people.
One day, Jefferson met a Connecticut man.
The man saw Jefferson on a tall horse, dressed in his usual clothes, thought he was a horse dealer, and fell into conversation with him.
"Said the new President.
The other said, "Jefferson was a big spender. He wears a ring on every finger. Sell his clothes for a plantation and two watches."
Jefferson laughed and said, "the President's clothes are not as handsome as yours. If you don't believe me, I'll go with you and see him."
As they rode up the White House foyer, the servant said to Jefferson, "Mr. President!"
The man in the same trade was dumbfounded.


Columbus's wonderful metaphor
After Columbus discovered the new world, people gave him a banquet.
Some of the nobles at the banquet thought he had discovered the new world by accident.
Columbus took out an egg and said, "gentlemen, which of you can stand this egg on the table?"
The nobles, unable to get up, turned to Columbus for advice.
Columbus took the egg and struck it lightly on the table. It stood.
The nobles were very unconvinced and said, "we will stand in this way."
Columbus laughed and said, "the trouble is that none of you clever people thought of doing this before I did."



Returned to their owners
After many life choices, the founder of Buddhism sakyamuni finally realized under the bodhi tree and reached the realm of superego. Like the hardships of his path, his ministry was far from smooth.
At one point, a man interrupted sakyamuni's sermon by cursing him with foul language.
Sakyamuni waited for him to finish cursing and then asked him, "if one gives a gift to another and the giver refuses to accept it, who shall the gift go to?"
"Of course it belongs to the giver." The man replied without understanding.
"All right! Sakyamuni said, "I refuse to accept your dirty words. Now return them to you!"

[Health]The nine countries with the healthiest cuisine in the world

The nine countries with the healthiest cuisine in the world

Fast food originated in the United States, which was consistently ranked the fattest country in the world. Americans have higher rates of heart disease and diabetes. After the arrival of foreign food in the United States, local "modifications" were made to American tastes and eating habits, and they tended to choose the most "fat" food in the foreign diet as dinner, such as pizza with cheese filling and greasy salami slices.

Traditional French, Spanish and Chinese food is among the healthiest in the world. Here, processed food is replaced by fresh food, and elaborate, healthy cooking replaces the easy way of frying in the microwave and at high temperatures. Although butter, cooking oil and sugar compounds originated in these three countries, their different cooking philosophies have kept the prevalence of common diseases and diabetes low.

Similarly, in Greece and Israel, the concept of food is even more fastidious, they will eat slowly to enjoy the food, and in this way to relax. A hurried pace of life combined with the habit of eating without a whole meal is certainly not a way to maintain health and longevity. Using the CIA World Factbook and the World Health Organization's information on obesity, heart disease and diabetes, here are nine countries with the healthiest foods.

Japan

In Japan, which has one of the lowest rates of obesity in the developed world, people focus on longevity. Their diet is dominated by vegetables, rice and soya beans, which reflects their concern for health. The Japanese also eat fresh seafood and dairy products, but in moderation. Interestingly enough, Tokyo alone has more Michelin stars than Paris, New York, London and Hong Kong combined.

The French

The widely held belief that "French women don't get fat" is true, and everyday French meals are not made up of hollandaise and foie gras. Instead, French food USES plenty of fresh vegetables, such as French beans, and a variety of well-made proteins. The most missed dishes are fish stew, white omelet and fresh salad.

Italy

Italy has one of the lowest rates of diabetes in the world, according to the world health organization. It also tells people that there are more healthy and delicious delicacies in Italian cuisine than pizza, pasta and ice cream. Today, pasta is cooked in a light, low-protein, vegetable-rich way. Also, italians cook with olive oil, which is good for heart health and rich in omega-3s. It also effectively ensures the health of food.

The Swedish

Generally speaking, seafood is the main food in Swedish cuisine and Nordic food. The cuisine in this region is mainly cooked in healthy ways, such as smoking, stewing, drying and marinating. The main course is served with vegetables and fruit, and even the main course is served without heavy sauces or Fried food. White bread and crackers are often replaced by crisp rye bread because of its rich fiber content.

The Greek

Mediterranean cuisine is definitely a favorite of dieters and body shapers because they are not only healthy but also have a special effect on weight loss. Traditional Greek food consists of green vegetables, omega-3 rich olive oil, fresh seafood, whole grains, as well as fresh fruit and a small amount of dairy products. Small portions of food, called mezze, are also popular here.

The Caribbean

Island cuisine is also health-conscious, with food made from fresh fish and seafood, starchy vegetables, rice and peppers. Especially in Bermuda, anguilla and the cayman islands, these ingredients lower blood pressure and boost metabolism. These dishes also use plenty of fresh tropical fruits, giving them a strong Caribbean flavor.

The Swiss

When it comes to Swiss food, most people think of thick bread, sticky cheese, and meat-based foods. Switzerland, however, has an enviable low rate of obesity and low rates of heart disease and diabetes. That's because people here tend to focus on local, seasonal food, mostly from small local farms, and it's simple. Meat and cheese are eaten in relatively moderate quantities. In the morning, locals like to have a muesli, a breakfast of dried fruit, oats and nuts.

Spain

Spain is perhaps best known for jamon iberico and rich cheese. However, their cuisine is rich in vegetables, fresh fish, grains and beans. Many traditional appetizers are vegetarian (for example, garlic mushrooms and grilled vegetables) or feature grilled live fish and seafood.

Israel

Also a Mediterranean country, Israeli food has many similarities to Greek food. Use olive oil; Fresh vegetables, such as eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini, as well as the "jewish seven treasures" (grapes, olives, pomegranates, etc.), which are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. As a result, israelis live longer and have lower rates of heart disease.

Although the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) does not recommend normal healthy people to wear masks to guard against the new virus, non-chinese community attention and reaction also is inferior to the Chinese community, but the English media also reported every day, all the Chinese ghettos of local health department also in close cooperation with the community, to convey the new crown virus relevant information accurately.
