"თავის მოკატუნება"- თავის უცოდველად, მიამიტად მოჩვენება. To pretend, to play a clown, to pretend fool, to pretend innocent. The illustration (by Kote  Iantbelidze) describes the idiom in a very direct (to decorate your  head with a cat), humoristic way.

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
昨日、北海道から大阪へ飛行機で移動しました。
今週、大阪と岡山で用事があるので、大阪へ来ました。

ということで、昨日大阪に来て思ったことを話します。
1つ目は、とてもむし暑い！
前に住んでいたからわかりますが、たぶん、大阪では少し涼しくなってきたんだろうと思います。夜は風もありました。でも、北海道から移動してくると、やっぱりもわっとする感じがあります。少し熱気があるというか。北海道だとさらっとしている感じですね。関西空港の自動ドアを出た時に1番はじめにそれを感じました。

2つ目。虫の声が秋を感じさせます。
夏はセミがとても激しく鳴いていたと思いますが、夏から秋に変わると、特に夜はジーーという虫の鳴き声が聞こえます。あれは何の虫なのかいまだにわかりませんが。北海道では、そういう虫の声はあまり聞かないので、昨日夜歩いていて、あ、秋になっていってるんだな、と感じました。

3つ目。電車が早い、安い！
昨日、関西空港についてから、家まで電車で帰りました。
60キロ近くの距離を電車で1時間半ぐらいで帰りました。¥1,300ぐらいでした。北海道だと、千歳から札幌まで30キロちょっとあります。30分ほどでつけるので早いですが、¥980ぐらいかかるので、少し高く感じます。大阪ー京都だと45キロぐらいで、JRで¥570でした。なので、やっぱり北海道は少し電車が高く感じます。

今日は大阪に帰ってきて、感じた3つのことを話しました！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
