Life Depends On Exercise Or Motionlessness?

In recent decades. we always hear that health depends on exercise. Seldom hear that life depends on motionlessness. The words of “Life depends upon exercise’ was spoken by the French philosopher Voltaire. But life depends on motionlessness was spoken by Chinese qigong teacher. Actually, both of them are right.
The theory of life depends upon exercise was from the record of wild elephants which could live two hundred years, but the domestic elephants could only live eighty years. Wild shepherd dogs could live twenty-seven years and domestic shepherd dogs could only live fifteen years. This is a proof that wild animals have more exercise than domestic animals. This is the reason why wild can live longer than domestic.
There is also record to support the theory that life depend upon motionlessness. It is from turtles. In 1737, fishermen caught a huge turtle in Indian Ocean which was then sent to the zoo in London. This turtle, even at 1950, still lived in the zoo, nearly three hundred years already. Decades ago, South Korea caught a sea turtle, and through the study of expert, it was found to be one thousand years old. Due to its too old age, it was released to the sea again.
