The Best Way to Stay Healthy

If you have recently started or restarted an exercise program, you are not alone, and it proves to be the best way to stay healthy.

In the first place, exercise makes your body, most importantly, your heart stronger-by helping it pump more blood with each heartbeat. The blood then deliver more oxygen to your body. Exercise can also lower blood pressure, reduce your risk of heart disease. Besides, exercise is the best way to lose weight. Burning calories and working off the fat will help you look and feel better. In the second place, more and more people realize that mental health is nevertheless important than physical health. Focusing your energy on taking care of yourself with proper exercise is the best way to not just transform your body but to lift your spirits.

If you are blessed with a healthy body and healthy mind by getting into exercises like soccer, ice skating, jogging, running, swimming, bicycling or anything that involves lots of activities, you can be confident that you are the “ wealthiest”, thus the happiest man on the planet earth.

Disappearing Forests

The world’s forests are disappearing. As much as a third of the total tree cover has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home to half of the world’s species thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropical rain forests once covered twelve percent of the land of the planet. As well as supporting at least half of the world’s species of plants and animals, these rain forests are home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forestland（林地）has been used for industrial purposes or for agricultural development, such as crop growing. By the 1990s less that half of the earth’s original rain forests remained, and they continues to disappear at an alarming rate every year. As a result, the world’s forests are now

facing gradual extinction.
