Welcome to the forum. :hi:

1. Your title used "alternative days". That's not what you're asking us about.
2. Start every sentence with a capital letter.
3. Always put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
4. Put quotes around quoted text and tell us where you found the quote (we need the source and the author).

To be clear: alternative is not the same as alternate. The former is incorrect in this context.
