PART B_2
The Fox and the Pheasants
One moonlight evening as Master Fox was taking his usual stroll in the woods, he saw a number of Pheasants perched quite out of his reach on a limb of a tall old tree. The sly Fox soon found a bright patch of moonlight, where the Pheasants could see him clearly; there he raised himself up on his hind legs, and began a wild dance. First he whirled ’round and ’round like a top, then he hopped up and down, cutting all sorts of strange capers. The Pheasants stared giddily. They hardly dared blink for fear of losing him out of their sight a single instant.

Now the Fox made as if to climb a tree, now he fell over and lay still, playing dead, and the next instant he was hopping on all fours, his back in the air, and his bushy tail shaking so that it seemed to throw out silver sparks in the moonlight.

By this time the poor birds’ heads were in a whirl. And when the Fox began his performance all over again, so dazed did they become, that they lost their hold on the limb, and fell down one by one to the Fox.

Too much attention to danger may cause us to fall victims to it.

Eating More Plant Protein May Help You Live Longer
In a Japanese study, researchers concluded that eating more plant protein helps one to live longer compared to obtaining protein needs from meat. The study
followed 71,000 middle-aged persons for about 20 years. A comparison was made between those who eat the smallest amount of plant protein as those who consume the largest amount of plant protein. The study showed that the people who eat more plant protein are 13 percent less likely to die. Frank Hu, nutrition department head at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, also said that meat protein is usually linked with chronic diseases and death and that plant protein comes with lower health risks. In the study, around 12,000 people have died due to various diseases. Hu was not part of the research conducted but was able to say that eating more plant protein food is really good for the health as it also contains other beneficial nutrients. Also, the study conducted has its limitations because the diets of participants were only considered once. This is not conclusive as these
people may have changed their diet over time.

Should You Exercise While Sick?
“People cannot deny that exercise is good for our health. Doctors suggest that a human body should be engaged in a medium physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. It is easy to achieve for a lot of people as most have a daily exercise routine. But during times when one is sick, should he/she continue engaging in physical exercise? Does exercising help the person recover easier or will it delay the healing process? Health expert Dr. Edward R. Laskowski says that mild to moderate exercise is actually beneficial with common holds as it helps open nasal passages allowing the person to breathe more easily. Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer, says that as a general rule it is okay to work out if it is just some cold and the person does not feel sick. Both Laskowski and Coopersmith say that one should be more cautious when the pain is experienced below the neck. Other signs include a higher-than-normal body temperature, fatigue, widespread muscle pain, and tightness in the chest. Experts say that taking a break while sick will not affect one’s performance as he/ she can always go back to his/ her normal routine once he/ she is feeling better.”
