每日步行这件事

好久好久以前,我写过一篇关于每天可以走多少步的文。那时,比较常听见的,比较普遍的建议就是每天都要走2万步吧。但是,那时候我记得我为自己设的目标是1万。毕竟,对于大部分时间都坐在电脑前做作业(打游戏)的我来说,要走那么多,还真的是要有机会才行的。

那时候实际结果怎么样,我就忘记了。也没去考古,毕竟,也真的是过有点久了。也忘了当时候发文的时候写的是中文还是英文……

不管怎么说,那已经是几年前的事情了。最近,我又“心血来潮”把Google Fit重新装回手机,来看看我平时上班的一天到底走了多少。

嗯……怎么说呢,感觉比想象中多了一些吧。毕竟程序员,屁股粘在椅子上算是天经地义(?)。三千左右的步数大部分都是办公室和停车场之间的路途走出来的。本来是为了可以免费停车才停得那么远的,但是现在想想,似乎也就在不经意间做了个比较健康的选择?

平时的记录都是上班来的,周末的记录则是从遛狗时得到的。想到这里,我突然觉得我遛狗时的走路速度实在悠闲得夸张。带着狗狗出去走半小时以上的步数竟然和平时上下班走的路差不多。可能也是家里狗狗老了吧,走起来也不快,所以遛起来也悠闲得多。以前还得追着它跑呢,时间真的是谁也不放过……

其实以现代的生活作息来说,步数可能已经不是一个很适合的标准了。但是呢,一时也想不出有什么更适合的。本来有在想是不是要下个Actifit来玩玩看,但是现在看着自己一星期来的记录,这些号码还是留着自己看算了吧 😂

有时真的好奇啊……我认识的人里,真的有活得很活跃,很健康的那种吗?

I think I've translated this to comprehend the basics of the message here.

We spend a lot of time in computer chairs.

A little effort goes a long way with physical and mental health if we decide to make the effort. Maybe it does more for mental health, but mental health has an effect on physical health too.

If the world is glued to screens, what is the basis of measuring good health?
I think I probably shouldn't address our overall style of living and consumption, then it would get very complicated.

How did you get me on this rabbit hole of thought?

It's great to see you @lilacse <3

Nice to see you too :) it's been a very very long time eh? I'm very good at disappearing randomly online...

Indeed! I think you used DeepL? I guess it wasn't too accurate for this particular style of writing (too casual, with some text patterns commonly used exclusively online) but I think the idea is roughly still there. Also I do agree that it's more about mental health, which is really important for everyone. Plus, we can't "fix" mental health with external forces. Doctors can prescribe antidepressants, suggest routines and everything for one to follow, but that would only be on the surface, hopefully affecting what's inside. I personally find walking alone particularly great for a "reset" and that is usually me after work... lol.

How did I get you into this rabbit hole of thought? Well, it just happens... :P

Thanks for dropping by!

It has been a long time. I was away for a brief while too, I disappear sometimes too. It's an introvert thing I think :D

I'm not using DeepL. I'll have to check that out.

I am anti pharma.

Reason why? Personal experience.

What should be a last resort is a first response (medicating) and is a profit based industry where the doctors really do not care about your health.

So now I study plants and discover more and more how many natural remedies exist in nature.

Pharma doesn't make money by curing people :D

We're on the same wavelength , I hardly have to translate your posts :)

Being profit-based really just poisons a lot of things... When we put money into consideration suddenly a lot of things don't look as trustworthy as they should be.

Natural remedies are amazing! I guess you know quite a bit of that now since you seem to have studied it for some time 😂 Reminds me of traditional Chinese medicine where we cook herbs and drink them... They generally don't taste terrible too.

步行很好哟

确实,就只是没什么机会。偶尔有机会也可能对不上心情 😂
