Beijing stimulus hopes looking over-optimistic
Yesterday’s announcement that China’s exports shrank 2.2 per cent last month compared with a year earlier rammed home just how hard the global slump is hurting the mainland’s economy. The news will inevitably focus investors’ hopes even more tightly on Beijing’s planned stimulus measures. Unfortunately, those hopes are looking increasingly unrealistic.

Dow Jones- Technical Analysis
On November 24, the Dow Jones recaptured the prior support and then resistance area around 8,144, suggesting that the recent drop below it had been a mere bear trap, shifting the bias to bullish again. After some consolidation, the index broke above short-term crucial resistance at 8,790-8,831 in Monday’s trade. It is now facing resistance at the declining 50-day moving average at 8,866 and has established a short-term consolidation below this hurdle and Monday’s high at 9,026 the past two sessions. A break above 9,026 would corroborate the improved short-term technicals and may trigger further upside towards around next significant resistance above at 9,654. Next potential support levels are coming in at 8,637-8,646, 8,447 and 8,118. A violation of the latter level would imply a resumption of the major trend lower.
HSI - Technical Analysis by DB
The HSI had been located in a short-term consolidation around the centre line of the Bollinger Bands for seven sessions. In Monday’s trading, the index took out resistance of the upper confine of the consolidation at 14,254. Key-resistance and next upside objective at 15,318 was cleared in yesterday’s session. This breakout establishes an intermediate-term uptrend and confirms a double bottom. Next resistance is seen at current levels, at 15,962 and around 16,250. Next significant support is located at 13,875. A pullback towards this level should be taken into account. Only a violation on a closing basis would negate the short-term uptrend and indicate choppy sideways action.
The Main Causes of Liver Damage are:
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food colouring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ‘schedule.’

Brain Damaging Habits
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts. Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

The Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods are:
1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams, may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams.
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
