Want to live longer? Ride a bicycle

Bicycles are more than just a means of transportation—they’re a powerful tool for improving health, boosting mood, and even extending life. Encouraging children to ride their bikes helps them stay active and enjoy the outdoors, while adults can benefit from cycling in countless ways. Doctors often recommend biking as a way to improve heart health, manage weight, and reduce stress. But beyond these well-known benefits, cycling offers surprising advantages that many people aren’t aware of—like its impact on the immune system and overall longevity. Recent studies have shown that regular cycling can significantly enhance immune function, helping the body fight off infections and diseases more effectively. In fact, some research suggests that cyclists may experience immune system benefits similar to those of much younger individuals. This is especially true when it comes to T-cells, which play a key role in defending the body against illness. A study involving older cyclists found that their immune systems functioned like those of people in their 20s, with high T-cell counts and strong thymus glands—organs that are crucial for immune health. Cycling also has a positive effect on mental well-being. It’s been linked to reduced stress and improved mood, making it an excellent natural remedy for anxiety and depression. One large study found that cycling was one of the most commonly used activities to relieve stress, surpassing even gym workouts and team sports. The physical activity involved in cycling releases endorphins, which help combat feelings of fatigue and boost overall happiness. Moreover, cycling can contribute to a longer, healthier life. Research shows that cyclists tend to live longer than non-riders, with some studies indicating a 17% increase in lifespan. Even moderate cycling, such as 30 minutes a day, can lead to significant improvements in cardiovascular health and immune function. And it's never too late to start—those who begin cycling later in life can still see meaningful benefits. Whether you're looking to strengthen your immune system, reduce stress, or simply enjoy the outdoors, adding a few bike rides to your weekly routine can make a big difference. You don’t need to be an elite athlete or race in the Tour de France to reap the rewards. Just a consistent habit of riding can transform your health and quality of life. So why not grab your bike and take a ride? Not only will you feel better physically, but you might also find yourself feeling more energized, focused, and connected to the world around you. Biking is a simple, accessible, and effective way to improve your health—and it's fun too!

Low-temperature 2-color Ratio Pyrometer

This classification includes two color infrared pyrometers measuring range is 250℃-2200℃.

Compared with one color infrared pyroemter, two color pyrometer measuring result will not change with state of object surface (surface roughness or surface chemical state), that means two color infrared thermometer accuracy will not be affacted, while the 1-color pyrometer will.
The optical part of pyrometer, such as glass, will accumulate some dust in the surfac after using for a period. Water, gas, oil vapour, dust in the air will reduce the emissivity coefficient, so the monochromatic pyrometer will reduce the measured value at this time. The Dual color pyrometer measures the ratio of infrared radiation intensities of two band wavelength in a specific range. With dust, water vapor and other disturbances, the signals of two wavelength fall simultaneously and the ratio remains constant after division. And user just need to wipe the glass when it is too dirty.
Monochromatic thermometers cannot measure objects smaller than the field of view. When the object does not fill the field of view, the measurement temperature will be low. A bicolor pyrometer can measure objects smaller than the field of view.

Products in this classification are usually applied to metallurgical industry(rod and wire mills, Hot rolling mills), foundry, cement kiln, induction heating, heat treatment, heating furnace, vacuum furnace, monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, semiconductor and other industrial temperature measurement.
