Therefore, they feel like each day lasts longer. However, older people's brains degrade (退化) as they age. They take in less information and thus see a day pass more quickly.

Scientists suggest that people can have 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as quick walking. As a result walking about 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day is a good choice.
