Chinanews, Shanghai, Dec. 13 – The Shanghai-based Workers’ Daily (Laodong Bao) recently published an alarming figure: more than 70% of the residents in the city are in “sub-healthy condition.” The information was released by Li Zhijun, deputy director of the Shanghai Sports Science Research Institute. In order to get out of such condition, Li suggested that Shanghai citizens should “walk everyday.”
“In Shanghai, only 5% of the residents are in a totally healthy condition and only 20% of the people have got diseases, and the rest are all at that in-between condition, neither healthy or sick,” said Li, adding that many people suffer from overwork, insufficient sleep or exercise. Sub-healthy condition has become a common disease in modern society and some people even die of overwork.
He said that many people are reluctant to do exercise, "they are always too busy.” In fact, they can simply get out of the sub-healthy conditions with regular walks.
“By saying so, however, I don’t refer to the ordinary walk we often see on streets.” He told our reporter that when walking, one should make sure his steps should be as large as 60-70 centimeters each and the walking space should be kept at around 120 steps every minute.
“If one can keep walking for at least 30 minutes every day and follow a good living habit, one will surely get out of the sub-healthy condition,” he said.
