  When many of us take a vacation, relaxing is what we want.But we usually return home tired and weak.It doesn’t have to be this way.

  Come home refreshed after an active trip!Don’t be too tired!

  Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all.It’s all in defining(定义)what an active vacation is.We don’t expect you to run slowly, or go backpacking.Well, we ask the vacationers who are not active not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.

  These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health.They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health.And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.And after all, isn’t that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

  A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary.Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.

  Don’t allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water.Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking.Heck, merely standing in waist-high water is a good exercise, thanks to the action of the water.And you will feel so much more alive!

  Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat.Don’t wait for tiredness or nature’s call to get you to pull over.Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun.It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes travelling a lot more active and interesting.

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
