As they grow older, many elderly people will pay more and more attention to their own bodies, especially when they begin to find that they are unable to do so, minor illnesses continue, or after seeing people around them fall ill, some elderly people will pursue health and longevity.
The most common way for middle-aged and elderly people to pursue health and longevity is to exercise.
It's really good to improve your physical fitness and reduce your illness through exercise these years, but over-exercising can turn good things into bad things. Originally, there was nothing wrong with the body, but if excessive exercise caused strain, then it may become a lack of illness and find guilt.
When it comes to cases of illness caused by excessive exercise, there is a case close to me.
There is a 68-year-old retired man in our community, named Uncle Chen, he is retired from a power supply bureau, the conditions are very good, the pension is six or seven thousand yuan a month, there is a car and a house, and his son is still doing business in the provincial capital.
Normally, under such conditions, he retires to enjoy Qingfu, but Uncle Chen is different, after retirement, he is very afraid of death, and he is very sorry for his life.
3 years ago, I was very obsessed with health care, took my wife around to listen to health lectures, buy a bunch of health products, and then went to the physical examination every year, if there was any discomfort, I went to the hospital, I usually ate and drank very carefully, this can not be eaten and that can not be eaten, usually I eat the mountain spring water in the countryside, and the vegetables are to relatives and farmers.
The schedule is also regular, you have to go to bed before 10 o'clock in the evening, you have to get up before 7 o'clock in the morning, and you have to take a nap at noon.
But in such a pursuit of health care, he is still in poor health, has poor resistance, and keeps catching colds.
Especially 3 years ago, when the epidemic came, Uncle Chen was unfortunately hit early, although it was not too serious, he was isolated for more than 20 days, and he basically recovered and went home. But after Uncle Chen came back that time, the whole person changed, and he began not to pursue health care, but to pursue exercise.
When he saw someone on the Internet saying that it was good to practice yoga, he went to practice yoga, he said that he was good at dancing, and when he said that he was good at swimming, he went to swim, and in short, he tried many sports.
Finally, since the beginning of last year, Uncle Chen has seen many short videos on the Internet of middle-aged and elderly people who make themselves ten years younger by running, or what diseases disappear through running, and he thinks that running is very good, and then starts running to exercise.
Every morning, I wake up early in the morning and go for a run, whether it's summer or winter, I insist on going out for a run. At the beginning, I ran three or four laps around our community, which was about two or three kilometers. Run more and more, 5 km, 8 km, even 10 km.
After running out of his Xi, he ran out of the neighborhood, running on the road and running around the park. In the end, he ran and ran and became obsessed with running marathons, and we held two marathons in the city, and he went to participate in both of them.
Although his results are not so good, he is an old man in his 60s, but he can run, which is also quite powerful.
By running every day, Uncle Chen is indeed more energetic than before, and he has fewer colds, and he has seen him many times, which makes people feel ashamed.
Especially in winter, I often look at Uncle Chen wearing a dress, and the sweat that runs out becomes like heat in the very cold winter, and the whole body is exuding. Ask him if he's cold, and he'll say it's hot.
However, Uncle Chen runs and exercises like this every day, and it seems that his physical fitness has improved, but excessive exercise still caused him to have an accident this summer.
In November this year, we are going to hold a marathon in the city, and Uncle Chen wants to challenge a full marathon, like a certain 70-year-old man he swiped in a short video, he has been running a full marathon for several years, and his body is still very good.
So, Uncle Chen began to do exercises for running the whole marathon in August, and began to run step by step, 10 kilometers, 15 kilometers, 20, 30...
But when he was able to run 35 kilometers, the accident happened. Uncle Chen ran and ran, seeing that he could break 40 kilometers, but suddenly his heart was uncomfortable and he fell directly to the ground.
Fortunately, Uncle Chen was running on the plastic track in the park, and many people around him were kind enough to see him fall to the ground, and immediately gave him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and then the hospital was also nearby, just across the park, and he was sent to the hospital in a few minutes.
Later, after an examination, the doctor said that Uncle Chen's heart is not good, so he can't run excessively, and it's best not to run.
And after that hospitalization, Uncle Chen didn't run anymore, and after such an illness, he was still alive and kicking, but he was old in an instant, he couldn't do it, he couldn't eat it, and under the strenuous exercise, his heart was uncomfortable.
Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should not exercise excessively for the sake of health and longevity. It's not that exercise is bad, but everything should be done to a degree, especially for the elderly, some strenuous exercise is dangerous.
Usually do tai chi, take a walk, do exercises, just don't learn to do any exercise like young people.
There are also those exercise videos shared on the Internet, we elderly people should not easily imitate, some elderly people can really reduce illness by exercising, but not all elderly people can follow suit.
Because some elderly people have internal diseases, or hidden diseases that they don't know about, this exercise will only aggravate the pain. There are also people who are old, and the various functions of the body cannot withstand the devastation of exercise.
When people are old, if they want to live a healthy life, they must eat, drink, sleep well, and be in a good mood. Don't deliberately pursue longevity, it's best to be healthy and healthy.
