With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can be impossible. So maybe it would help if there was ‘a best time' to exercise.

There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. Many of us have more free time than later in the day, and it may be easier for us to keep a morning plan. A study found that people could sleep better when they exercised in the morning or had the physical activity during the whole day. Exercising on an empty stomach(空腹)before breakfast could also have less fat(脂肪)and keep healthier.

So, good news for early birds, but what if you're not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening is also good, but different. For example, your body's ability reaches the highest level in the afternoon, according to a 2010 study. Also, in the afternoon and evening, your mind is the quickest, and your heart rate and blood(血)pressure are lowest, and you aren't getting hurt(受伤)easily when exercising.

But can this happen? Deciding on if you are a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different too. Want to reduce(降低)your blood pressure and you are a woman? Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you are a man? Evening is better for you. But, a 2022 study found that it's both OK for them to exercise at either time of day.

So what time is best? It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you!

The traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Great Heat (大暑), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 7. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. The following are some things you should know about Great Heat.

A season of harvesting and planting

During Great Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for agricultural crops. But like Slight Heat, many natural calamities such as floods, droughts (干旱) and typhoons also happen during Great Heat. Therefore, it's important to harvest and plant in time to avoid setbacks (挫折) caused by natural disasters.

Sending the Great Heat ship in Zhejiang

The ship is filled with various animals for sacrifice (祭祀) such as pigs, sheep, chickens, fish and shrimps. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they march through the streets. The drums are played and fireworks are lit. Both sides of the streets are filled with people praying for blessings. After a series of ceremonies, the ship is finally carried to the wharf (码头). Then, the ship is pulled out of the fishing port and burned at sea. People carry out this ritual (典礼) to pray for good harvests (收成) and health.

Eating litchi and Mizao in Fujian

On the day of Great Heat, there is a custom of eating litchi and Mizao in Putian, Fujian Province, as a celebration of Great Heat. Litchi is a nutritious fruit. People usually soak litchi in cold well water first and eat it. Mizao is made of fermented (已发酵的) rice. On the day of Great Heat, people cook it with brown sugar.
