Some friends are very diligent, in the winter, at four or five o'clock, before dawn, they come to the square to jump, run, practice...... But what they didn't expect was that it backfired, and some people were even more uncomfortable, and the day before yesterday there was an old acquaintance who practiced and went to the hospital.
In fact, looking at the recent news, we found that there are many people who have accidents due to early morning exercise in winter. Let's take a look:
News 1: According to a report in the "Shanxi Evening News" entitled "The Topic of Morning Exercise for the Sudden Death of a 55-year-Old Resident": On November 27, a resident of the No. 2 Community of Shangma Street said to reporters: "I usually look very good in my body, but if I don't say it's gone!" His death made it difficult for many people to accept. The 55-year-old resident, who had just retired and was in good health, went out to exercise at 5 a.m. last Wednesday and collapsed on the side of the road not long after. "There is nothing wrong with him, it is high blood pressure and high cholesterol that are common in middle-aged and elderly people. Said a resident who knew him well. After this incident, many people in the neighborhood who were used to getting up in the morning to exercise Xi stopped exercising in the morning, some were afraid that something would happen to them, and some children did not let them exercise in the morning after hearing about it.
News 2: According to a report in Jiefang Daily entitled "I Feel Uncomfortable After Morning Exercise": After Mr. Liu retired, although he no longer had to rush to work every morning, he still adhered to the Xi of getting up early and went to participate in morning exercise after washing. In the green area, Mr. Liu and many elderly people lifted their legs, stretched their waists, and did exercises, moving their muscles and bones, and felt refreshed. However, Mr. Liu found that he felt uncomfortable after participating in the morning exercise several times in winter. Could it be that his heart disease has worsened, or is there something wrong with other aspects of his body? With questions, Mr. Liu went to consult Professor Chen Ye of the respiratory department, who was familiar with him. Professor Chen listened to Mr. Liu's narration, gave him a physical examination, and told Mr. Liu that if you don't feel well, you have participated in the morning exercise too early every day. Exercising too early in the morning will also affect your health? Mr. Liu was puzzled.
From these examples and news reports, we can see that the damage to the body caused by early morning exercise in winter is by no means an accident or an isolated case, and it has a deep internal cause. Health and longevity are increasingly being pursued, and many people join the morning exercise team for the sake of health. However, if we wake up early to exercise outside regardless of the natural factors and our physical factors, it will do more harm than good.
From a very early age, our ancestors objected to people getting up too early in the morning in winter. The "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which is regarded as the Yellow Emperor by traditional medicine, when explaining winter health care, pointed out at the beginning: "Winter and March, this is called closed, water and ice, no disturbance of the sun, early to bed and late to get up, must wait for the sun...... Go to the cold and the temperature, no sink skin, so that the qi is urgent, this winter should be the way to raise the store. This passage, in modern language, is to say: the winter climate is cold, the grass and trees are withering, and it is the season when all things are hidden and hidden. This season is also the best time for the human body to recuperate. People should pay attention to protecting yang energy, recuperate their energy, go to bed early and get up late, and wait for the sun...... At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid the cold and keep warm, and do not let the skin sweat, which will lead to frequent depletion of the closed yang energy, which is the method of closed storage and health preservation in winter.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized that "man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the way, and the Tao is the law of nature", and the health concept of Chinese medicine especially emphasizes the "unity of nature and man". The human body should also conform to the characteristics of nature and appropriately reduce activities, so as not to disturb yang energy and deplete yin essence. Therefore, traditional health care proposes that people go to bed early and get up late in winter, which is conducive to the potential of yang energy and the accumulation of yin essence, which is beneficial to health. In winter, the weather is cold and frozen, the grass and trees are falling, all our things are recuperating, preparing for the growth of the next spring, our human body should also conform to the laws of nature, so as not to consume our yang energy, go to bed early and get up late can be conducive to the accumulation of our yang energy, and at the same time, adequate sleep can enhance our immunity, prevent diseases, and ensure our health.
Some modern scientific studies have also shown that the air in the morning is not necessarily good, and early morning exercise is indeed bad for the body. According to the investigation of urban air pollution by environmental protection experts, the pollutants in the air in mainland cities are mainly due to sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide released from burning coal, which can lead to diseases of the human respiratory system. In winter, the surface temperature is low in the morning and the sky temperature is high, and the temperature often increases inversely, causing the atmosphere to stop convective activities up and down. There are also exhaust gases emitted by cars, which contain nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, lead and other polluting substances, all kinds of harmful substances gather on the ground, can not diffuse to the upper layer of the air, so the sediment stays in people's respiratory tract, so that people inhale more smoke and toxic gases. At this time, if people get up early to exercise, they just suffer, and in this environment for a long time, their physique has not grown, but most of them have fatigue, dizziness, pharyngitis, tracheitis and other diseases, thus endangering their health. Therefore, scientifically speaking, it is more appropriate to go out and exercise around 10 a.m. This is because the sun comes out and hits the ground, causing the atmosphere to begin to convection up and down, the polluted air spreads to the high altitude, the inverse increase in temperature disappears, the air on the ground becomes clean, and the harm to people is reduced.
The natural environment in ancient times was much more beautiful than now, and the morning exercise index was not known to be many times higher than now. Wait until the sun comes out before exercising in the morning, when it is still warm and more effective.
In addition, we can also do some preparation work before morning exercise or pay attention to some scientific methods in morning exercise, which will better protect our body from harm.
For example, before and after we get up in the morning, we can drink a glass of warm water before going to morning exercise. For people who have developed a biological clock in the morning, wake up naturally before dawn and can't adjust it for a while, you can drink a glass of warm water after getting up, which can increase blood volume and reduce the viscosity of blood, and then do some simple small exercises indoors to let the body run qi and blood and completely warm, and then wait for the temperature to stabilize before going out to exercise. For the elderly with weak physique, you can also add 6~10 grams of dried old dried ginger to the warm boiled water you drink, and taking it in water can not only warm up the stomach but also enhance the body's resistance.
In addition, it is important to pay attention to the appropriate thickness of clothing. In winter, when exercising for fitness, you should start to wear more clothes, wear soft clothes, not too tight, and after warming up, you should take off some thick clothes. After exercising, if you sweat a lot, you should dry your sweat in time, change out of sweaty sportswear, shoes and socks, and wear clothes and hats to prevent heat loss. In addition, you should pay more attention to keeping warm when exercising outdoors, and always want to cool down after exercising, but you must not stand in a windy place to blow the wind, but you should return to the room as soon as possible, wipe off your sweat, and change into clean clothes. As the saying goes, "cold is born from the feet", because the feet are far away from the heart, the blood supply is less, and the subcutaneous fat of the feet is thin, and the warmth is poor. Therefore, it is especially easy to feel cold feet when doing fitness activities outdoors in winter. If the head, back and feet are cold, the cold air invades the body from the fur, mouth and nose, which will not only affect the effect of fitness and exercise, but also catch a cold and get sick. Usually, some fitness enthusiasts like to wear fitness shoes for the winter, which is not good. Because rubber-soled shoes conduct heat quickly, the soles of the feet are prone to cold when they do not exercise, which can cause diseases such as chilblains and arthritis.
