一分鐘知天下事：動起來！運動是萬靈丹

週休二日還倒在家當沙發馬鈴薯（couch potato）嗎？越躺卻越累，昏昏欲睡，星期一還有週一症候群？所謂Reading is to the mind while exercise to the body.「讀書健腦，運動強身」運動不僅能提振精神，還能治百病，快點動起來吧！

According to a newly-published analysis, exercise rivals some heart drugs and outperforms stroke medicine. Physical activity is as effective as pills in treating stroke and coronary heart disease, and patients should have exercise added to their prescriptions in order to save and extend life in cases of coronary heart disease.

Researchers said that exercise should be considered as a viable alternative to, or alongside, drug therapy. However, other experts stressed that patients should not throw their pills away. Instead, they should use both exercise and medication.

根據新出爐的分析顯示，運動的效果與治療心臟病的藥物一樣好，甚至更優於治療中風的藥物。對於治療中風和冠狀動脈心臟病來說，運動與吃藥一樣有效，有冠狀動脈心臟病的病人，應該將運動加到他們的處方籤中，以延長病患的壽命。

研究人員說，運動應被視為一種可行的選擇，或與藥物治療並列。不過，其他專家強調，患者不應該丟掉藥物，而是應該並行這兩種方式。
