1 . The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said : "These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular （心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia. "
For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak （最大值的） cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
"However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important. " She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.

Hi Zhou Ling,

5 . It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter. There are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of your run, and, importantly, not doing more harm than good.
Warm up, cool down
Drink water
You might not feel hot, but that's because sweat evaporates （蒸发）more quickly into the chilly, dry air. So be sure to drink water before, during and after cold-weather workouts.
Running in cotton is a bad idea. Wear thin, breathable layers of synthetic （合成 的)）clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow, but still let out heat and moisture （水分）.Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head. Wear a hat, or beanie （无边小便帽）, and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body.
Run into the wind
| A．Dress right |
| B．Keep warm. |
| C．Don't go too fast, too soon |
| D．Start and finish in the same way. |
| E．Don't wait to drink water until you feel thirsty. |
| F．Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back |
| G．On really cold days, wear a mask or scarf over your mouth to protect your face. |
