With growing evidence that dancing helps boost brain health and manage symptoms of neurocognitive and movement disorders, accessible dance programmes and movement therapists around the world are helping improve the lives of millions. 1．
Dance asmedicine
There's actually a lot more happening inside the brain when trying to follow even the simplest choreography."In dance, we have to learn patterns, think symmetrically and asymmetrically, and remember sequences,"says David Leventhal, a programme director. 2． Tasks like navigating the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if they are regarded as choreography.
3．
In addition to the physical and neurological benefits, dance can also help people living with disease accept what their bodies can and can't do. Rather than trying to control, or"fix,"our body, dance is about developing greater body awareness and moving at our capacity, regardless of physical or cognitive difference.
Dance as community
4． Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their abilities when dealing with neurological and movement disorders, it also helps to combat the loneliness and social isolation of living with a chronic illness.

Don't BeA Bystander
【Reader's Digest UK(March, 2024)】
None of us like to think we'd walk on by when someone needed our help. 6． .
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. 7． The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect—people think that others will get involved or intervene (called"diffusion of responsibility"). 8． It is also partly down to"pluralistic ignorance"—since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don't need to either; it's not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn't do anything. 9． .
The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best antidote to it. 10． Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your gut—if you'd call an ambulance, do it. If you'd run for help, do it. If that's how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that's probably the right course of action The worst that can happen is you'll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone's life.
A.When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own.
B.Yet this can sometimes mean that no one helps when, in fact, someone desperately needs it.
C.They can't believe they had not realised it was more serious or that they didn't think to get involved.
D.But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn't expect when confronted with a situation we are unsure about.
E.Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene.
F.A third of people would not perform CPR if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting
they wouldn't call an ambulance.
G.This has been termed the"bystander effect"—a well-known psychological phenomenon whereby individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present.

Women get bigger health lift than men from same level of exercise
【The Guardian(February 20, 2024)】
Women experience greater benefits than men when it comes to avoiding an early death from doing the same amount of regular exercise, research suggests.
According to the NHS, men and women aged 19 to 64 should clock up at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week, or 75 of vigorous exercise, with muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week. 11． Now, research suggests that men and women do not get the same gains from the same levels of physical activity.
The team found that 140 minutes of moderate exercise a week reduced women's risk of premature death from any cause by 18% compared with beinginactive. 12． The reduction in risk increased with time spent exercising for men and women, up to about 300 minutes of moderate activity a week - when it plateaued. At this level, women had a 24% lower risk of premature death from any cause compared with being inactive.
Prof Emmanuel Stamatakis of the University of Sydney, who was not involved in the work, said the research was well conducted. 13． "Although women seem to do less leisure-time exercise, their mortality risk is more steeply reduced for any given weekly amount or frequency of exercise," he said. Stamatakis added that it is likely women's exercise sessions reflect higher relative loads than for men. 14． .
Dr Susan Cheng, a co-author of the research, said: "We hope that perhaps just understanding this one concept can help some women who may feel too busy or too intimidated to take on a new exercise routine. 15． ."
A.The results reveal that a greater proportion of men undertook regular physical activity and strengthening exercises than women.
B.However, studies have shown girls and women tend to do less physical activity than boys and men.
C.Our study doesn't suggest that women should exercise less, but rather it encourages women who may not be getting enough exercise for various reasons
D.While various properties of skeletal muscle differ between men and women, it potentially explains the different responses.
E.He added that his own research using wearable devices had suggested a similar trend.
F.By contrast, men needed 300 minutes of such exercise a week for a similar gain.
G.Women should know they do not need to compare how much or how hard they are working to men or to anyone else for that matter.
