大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【相亲】的话题。
在中国，相亲是一种很常见的找结婚对象的方式。相亲也分为很多种，亲戚介绍，朋友介绍，或者同事介绍。还有一些新的方式，例如在网上的婚恋平台找对象，甚至是参加相亲的电视节目。
有些公园还出现了一个特别的地方“相亲角”。在那里，你可以看到墙上贴着很多纸，上面写着单身男女的个人信息。年龄、身高、学历、工作、收入、对另一半的要求。去那里的基本上是这些单身男女的父母，他们非常希望自己的孩子能早一点找到对象，结婚。
很多人大学毕业以后，家里就开始安排相亲了。我在刚毕业的时候也参加过一次相亲。那个男生是我叔叔的朋友的儿子，因为我们在同一个城市工作，还是老乡，他们觉得很合适。我们加了微信开始聊天，然后一起去吃了几次饭。后面没有成功，因为他希望找一个人早一点结婚，而我还没有准备好要结婚。我觉得这是中国式相亲最大的一个特点，就是“希望早点儿结婚”。那是我第一次相亲，也是最后一次，因为我不喜欢这种要很快结婚的感觉。
我很多回老家工作的女生朋友都是通过相亲结婚的，基本上一年内就会结婚，然后生小孩。在大城市的朋友有通过相亲脱单，也有通过参加活动认识另一半的，单身的人也不少。
我觉得不管是什么形式的相亲，都是一个让我们认识人的机会。最关键的是你要想清楚自己要找什么样的人， 过什么样的生活。
你支持相亲吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.
