#SHOWBIZ: Chow Yun Fat's running remedy: Lo Hoi Pang, 84, credits star for health turnaround
HONG KONG: In recent years, health concerns have kept retired Hong Kong actor Lo Hoi Pang largely out of the public eye and prompted him to scale back his workload.
Lo Hoi Pang, the 84-year-old retired Hong Kong actor, has recently made a remarkable comeback to public view, sharing a video of himself appearing energetic and in good health. The health concerns that had previously sidelined him for years have now been resolved, with his three underlying health issues – high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol – all brought back to normal.
In an interview with Hong Kong media, Lo attributed his successful health turnaround to his good friend and Hong Kong's King of Entertainment, Chow Yun Fat. The actor revealed that Chow, at 71, encouraged him to adopt a healthier lifestyle and guided him through regular exercise, including hiking and jogging. He also shared a breathing technique with Lo, urging him to breathe through his nose during physical activity rather than his mouth, as breathing through the mouth can cause dryness.
Lo now dedicates a significant portion of his morning to exercise, typically running for about 30 minutes each day. Chow, himself a long-time running enthusiast, recently participated in the annual Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon in January, completing the 10km run in 2 hours and 23 seconds.
