On October 26, foreign bodybuilding star Frey died in his sleep at the age of 43, surprisingly, he was still in normal health and could go out to play the day before.
On October 15, Japanese bodybuilding net celebrity Katsuya Kitamura died suddenly at the age of 36, and was even losing weight and exercising the day before the accident.
In just ten days, two bodybuilding stars died, which is really surprising and regrettable. When it comes to bodybuilders, many people in China think of MCA first, but she eventually died of cancer. Doesn't it mean that exercise is good for health? Why do so many bodybuilders die young?
First, is fitness good? See what the latest research says
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine followed 100,000 people with an average age of 71 over a long period of time. After analysis, it was found that subjects who regularly trained for weight bearing had a 9% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality.
Among the elderly people participating in the study, 23% have done weight lifting exercises, and 16% of the subjects have lifted weights at least 1~6 times a week. Studies note that older adults who lift weights regularly have a 14% lower risk of premature death; People who exercised to aerobic levels had a 32 percent lower risk of premature death.
In this regard, the researchers analyzed that weight lifting exercise can not only reduce weight, but also make people better socialize during gym exercise, which can help reduce the mortality of the elderly.
There is no doubt that fitness is good for health, but it should be noted that some fitness people have a pathological pursuit of muscles, which is easy to hurt the body.
Second, although fitness is good, sick muscles are not desirable
1. Crazy exercise to gain muscle, in fact, is very sad
Some athletes have larger hearts than ordinary people, said Zhu Jianhua, director of the Department of Cardiology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and long-term continuous high-intensity exercise will make the ventricular wall continue to thicken. When the body compensates to a certain extent, it loses compensation, and then irreparable damage occurs. As a result, the heart will gradually enlarge, and eventually problems such as myocardial hypertrophy and decreased heart function will appear.
2. Binge eating high-protein foods to gain muscle is very harmful to the liver and kidneys
Li Li, director of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Ningbo First Hospital, pointed out that long-term intake of high-protein diet will hurt the liver and kidneys. After entering the body, protein needs to be decomposed into creatinine, urea, ammonia and other nitrogenous substances in the liver, which will bring toxic side effects to the body under certain conditions. Excessive protein intake will increase the burden on the liver, gastrointestinal digestion and malabsorption, and may also cause liver function damage, induce fatty liver disease, and reduce the body's immunity.
3. Drug muscle gain looks easy, and the whole body suffers
Many people take male hormone steroid drugs to gain muscle, but this drug is for medical use. For people who are not lacking hormones, consuming a lot of steroids to help shape lines and build muscle is very dangerous, easily affecting reproductive function, mental health, and in severe cases, it can also induce heart failure, kidney failure and sudden death.
There is no shortage of people in life who have seen some people who insist on exercising for a long time, but they are still found to have cancer, why is this?
Third, only exercise does not maintain a good lifestyle, can not prevent cancer
The occurrence of cancer is actually a probabilistic event, and the factors that contribute to the occurrence of cancer are not single, but formed by a combination of factors. Exercise naturally cannot help prevent 100% of cancer, and it is not scientific to rely on exercise to completely prevent cancer.
Cancer accomplices are these and these
1. Smoking
Smoking is one of the risk factors for the occurrence of cancer, including long-term inhalation of second-hand smoke, third-hand smoke can also lead to cancer risk risk, lung cancer is the most common among cancers induced by smoking.
2. Drink
Drinking alcohol can lead to an increased risk of liver cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and other cancers, and many people smoke while drinking, which is "poison on poison", and the damage to the body is also multiplied.
3. Poor diet
Eating hot, moldy food, heavy-flavored takeaways and betel nuts can all lead to an increased risk of cancer.
If you want to prevent cancer, you must maintain good lifestyle habits. While maintaining good habits, you can do the right amount of exercise, which can reduce your risk of cancer.
Fourth, how should ordinary people exercise?
WHO's WHO Code of Conduct on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior states that different groups of people need different exercises.
1. Teenagers
Children and adolescents aged 5~17 years old should exercise at least 60 minutes a day of moderate/vigorous intensity, and it is recommended that exercise be mainly aerobic exercise. Vigorous intensity aerobic exercise at least 3 days a week.
2. Adults
Adults aged 18~64 should do at least 150~300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75~150 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week.
3. Elderly people
For the elderly over 65 years old, it is recommended to do 150~300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.
Exercise can bring great benefits to health, but the premise is to adopt a healthy way of exercise, some more extreme, unhealthy exercise methods, but will bring threats to health. #rumor zero zero plan ##我在头条搞创作第二期 #
