#SHOWBIZ: Chow Yun Fat's running remedy: Lo Hoi Pang, 84, credits star for health turnaround

Retired Hong Kong actor Lo Hoi Pang, 84, has been open about his recent health struggles, which included high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. However, he has recently shared a video showing him in good spirits and revealed that his health has improved significantly after a period of rest and recuperation.

Lo credits his good friend and Hong Kong's King of Entertainment, Chow Yun Fat, for encouraging him to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The actor said he started a regular exercise routine, including hiking and jogging, with Chow Yun Fat, who patiently guided him and shared a breathing technique while exercising. Lo now runs for about 30 minutes each morning and has been an avid runner, participating in the annual Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon in January this year.
