meaning of 'As a way'

[wq.denis]

Hi friends and teachers,
i am wondering what does the "as a way" mean?

For example, Walking as a way of life.
Notetaking as a way to stay smart.

I can guess what the mean but i need to get clear definition to avoid by misunderstanding.

Hello, wq.denis.

(1) This is only my opinion:



(a) Walking as a way of life =

To make walking part of your daily activities, just as eating, sleeping,

watching TV, etc. are. A wise man once said:

The best doctors are Dr. Right Foot and Dr. Left Foot.

That is, walking is a natural exercise that will do wonders for your health.

I will not name the country, but I read that about 20 years ago, that

country was very poor and there were almost no buses. So most people

had to walk (walking was a way -- style -- of life), so it kept most of


the people slender. Today, economic conditions have improved with more

buses and cars. The result? More people who need to lose weight!!!

(b) Notetaking as a way to stay smart. I think that this means that

taking notes is a good method to help you learn more. It is important to

write things down on paper so that you will "stay smart" (not forget

what you have learned). A wise man once said:

The weakest ink is better than the strongest memory.
