【推荐1】Nowadays, our phone is capable of just about anything through various apps. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the good apps for fitness (健康).

Wakeout

Because of COVID-19, many people’s fitness has suffered due to long periods of siting or lying. Wakeout’s attractive feature is that it’s a fitness app that doesn’t ask you to roll out a yoga mat, or clear space. Instead, Wakeout will recommend exercises that can be done immediately, whether you’re sitting or lying down. You can schedule workouts for the day, or relax before your bedtime.

Seven-7 Minute Workout

Seven-7 Minute Workout aims to give you the most benefit possible in just 7 minutes through a series of quick exercises that target specific areas of your body. There’s no equipment need. It’s free to use, but joining the 7 Club for $10 a month (or $60 a year) will give you access to a wider range of exercises, personal workout plans, and guidance from a personal trainer.

30 Day Fitness

30 Day Fitness provides hundreds of exercises with video instructions for each of the 30 days, plus a personal workout history, so you can see how far you’ve come. You get a week for free, but it’ll cost you $5 a week for access after that.

Loona

Can’t rest your mind and body at night? You’re not alone, as many of us suffer from an inability to switch off at night. Instead of just playing lullabies (催眠曲) at bedtime, Loona wants to help balance your mood throughout the day, keeping anxiety down and helping you to be in a stable mood at bedtime.

【推荐2】Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one’s nose is hurt or dry.     1     If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and know how to handle them, you can better manage your own nose bleeds and prevent future bleeding.

Position your body.

If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed, you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it.     2     Then, lean head forward so that the blood flows through the nostrils (鼻孔).

Compress the nose.

With a finger and thumb (拇指), pinch (捏) the lower end of the nose, completely blocking the nostrils. Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels (血管) are damaged.     3     Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes, then release. While you do this, breathe through the mouth.

Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose. To do this, place ice cubes in your mouth. This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose. It also will help you remain at the lower temperature for longer. This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose.

Use oxymetazoline (羟甲唑啉) nasal sprays (喷剂).

While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis, you can try a nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues. This medication partly narrows the blood vessels in your nose.     5     Sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes.

【推荐3】For me, a large part of growing from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitudes towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about staying“in shape”and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time.

Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We’re supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average person. It’s simply not attainable.

I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It’s a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time.

Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love things you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body —it’s just a body.

Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am grateful that my body allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance.

Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can come after, but neutrality is a good place to start.
