Exercise
Daily Practice
I had a dream this morning. Some friends and I were floating through space and drifting in time aboard a spaceship. Then we came across Earth. It wasn’t easy — we had been drifting for so long. I was eager to return home, so I asked my best friend to land with me, while the others still wanted to explore the unknown. We parted ways. We might not see each other for years, and I didn’t know if we ever would again. Then the scene shifted to Dream of the Red Chamber, where Lin Daiyu was playing the Chinese zither. She was practicing the final bar of a melody she had once played with Xue Baochai. Her lover, Jia Baoyu, was watching her. Hearing the last bar, he, too, thought of Xue Baochai — her smile, and the time they had spent together. Then I woke up and saw my cat playing with one of the sheet fastener buttons. Maybe the sound in the dream had come from the button. I went back to sleep, and the dream continued. This time, it shifted to my family. My cousin had just returned home after years of space exploration. She had been to the solar system and had now come back to Earth — returning from a foreign country and traveling all the way home.

I'm turning 60 next year and completely getting old. So, I think it's time to watch my own health for my family, not to mention for myself as I don't want them to worry about me in the future. I came across an article "Just Walking Keeps Us healthier". I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. As a convenient life such as working from home and the spreading of subscription type of entertainment is getting popular, many people might feel that they are out of shape. Under the circumstances, walking is making a comeback lately because anybody can start it easily. "British Journal of Sports Medicine" said that 160-minute-a-day walking at the pace of 4.8km per hours can cause a increased lifespan of more than 5 years on average. Many people find it hard to walk for 160 minutes every day, that's why a heart specialist suggests "What do you say to starting a habit of walking for an hour a day"? According to his comment, walking not only can improve health, lower blood pressure and maintain a healthy weight but have a good effect on mental health. Walking has benefits for everybody since it doesn't spend a lot of money and it is easy for everybody to do I believe the effect of a habit of walking is beyond measure and I also figure out that it has been attracting a lot of attention. So, I, too, would love to try it tomorrow.
