In ancient times, many people were short of clothes and food, and going out in the ice and snow was almost a desperate adventure. Even so, in order to eat, they often go out to cut wood and hunt and do these heavy manual jobs. Therefore, even if modern people run for an hour every day, the amount of exercise is probably far less than that of the ancients. Winter is the end of the year. When you are overwhelmed by all kinds of work, meetings, parties and dinners, if you can go out for a run every day, the warmth, comfort and happiness are indescribable. Who knows?
