HERE’s a simple “secret” to ensure longevity for men – stare at women’s breasts for 10 minutes a day to live an additional five years.
Both Sin Chew Daily and China Press reported that a German research published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that men ogling at breasts for 10 minutes a day was equivalent to a 30-minute gym workout.
Sin Chew Daily reported yesterday that the team had spent five years researching 200 men.
Results showed that men who liked to stare at women’s breasts have lower blood pressure, suffer less cardiovascular disease and have slower heart beat.
The daily also quoted gerontologist Dr Karen Weatherby as saying that sexual desire ensured better blood circulation and led to better health.
However, it was reported that reporters had attempted to search the article in the journal’s website but failed. Thus, there were doubts whether there was indeed such an article in the journal.
> China Press reported that the spirit of deceased political aide Teoh Beng Hock had been appearing at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) building in Shah Alam.
It was reported that several security officers had seen his spirit at level five and level 14 of the building.
The daily also reported that a security guard claimed that he was “bitten” on the neck inside a room.
The guard later went to the reception counter and saw Teoh’s spirit walking away. He later felt someone pulling his leg.
The man was reported to have applied to be transferred back to the MACC headquarters in Puchong.
