Learning of language is much entwined with learning and understanding the culture. One feeds the other and not bothering to learn a language oneself would make one a very sterile companion to the native speakers of that language.

Some people would want to know, some wouldn’t. I put myself firmly in the latter camp unless there are treatments that actually work. Basically a hideously drawn out death sentence that would suck all joy out of my life. Keep going though. Great research.

It really is the most basic thing for health that anyone could do but it takes a little effort. We do seem to be hard wired to minimize energy expenditure so our brains will come up with any reason for not doing it. Not enough time being the classic. (Amazing how much time people can find for browsing their phones however..) Well it appears time is not such a factor after all, so get to it.

I am glad I actually enjoy exercise and have nothing but pity for those that don’t. I would have thought that such a small amount incorporated into daily activity should be achievable by anyone with a pulse though. I get in an hour a day most days of the week of mild strength and cardio exercise, but I am fortunately an early bird and am done by 7am. Most of the cardio is done on a stationary bike watching a show on Netflix. I don’t even count the hour or so of dog walking a day but I guess that helps too.
