Ladies’ Chronicle
(Original Title: 婦女)
In recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in obesity due to excessive consumption and reduced activity. Many women find themselves unwilling to swim for exercise or feel discouraged by the lack of results, leading to a cycle of inactivity. To break this, it is essential to adjust one’s diet and maintain consistent physical activity. Consuming less at meals, avoiding indulgence in alcohol, and adopting a habit of regular exercise can significantly improve one’s health. It is crucial not to seek immediate results, but rather, embrace a long-term, healthier lifestyle.
