"Mr. Xu, your recovery is progressing well, but this time I want to talk to you about the art of 'laziness'. The doctor opened his speech as he flipped through the thick medical records.
Xu Jianguo, a 50-year-old senior screenwriter, not only suffered from a herniated lumbar disc due to long-term sedentary screenwriters, but also caused a series of muscle strain.
This review, he originally thought it would be a routine inspection results to be informed, but unexpectedly, it triggered a scientific discussion about "laziness".
Xu Jianguo was a little puzzled, he knew that the doctor was never untargeted, and his words must have a deep meaning.
The doctor explained with a smile, "Modern medical research has found that moderate 'laziness' is very beneficial to the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
However, the 'laziness' here is not laziness in the traditional sense, but a kind of scientific relaxation and rest. ”
Xu Jianguo listened more curiously, and he asked the doctor to explain specifically.
The doctor adjusted his glasses and began a detailed explanation.
"First of all, as we age, our body functions gradually decline, and the recovery and endurance of our muscles decrease.
If we work and exercise uncontrollably, as we did when we were younger, it will instead accelerate the wear and tear of the body. ”
The doctor went on to say that there are two bad lifestyle habits to avoid, the first of which is overwork.
Many middle-aged and elderly people choose high-intensity exercise methods for their health, such as running, gym weight training, etc., but these put a lot of pressure on the joints and heart, which can easily cause injuries and diseases.
The second is sedentary for a long time, which can lead to muscle atrophy and slow metabolism, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
"So, how can you be 'lazy' scientifically?" asked Xu Jianguo.
The doctor smiled and continued his explanation, "The scientific 'lazy' refers to the reasonable arrangement of rest and activity time, and to maintain moderation rather than excess.
For example, simple walking, tai chi, yoga, etc., these are all suitable exercises for middle-aged and elderly people. ”
The doctor also mentioned an interesting study that showed that middle-aged and elderly people should have enough rest time every day;
For example, taking a nap for 20 to 30 minutes can effectively improve memory and concentration, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
He also specifically mentioned that appropriate "laziness" can regulate mood and reduce the possibility of depression.
In the process of explanation, the doctor also interspersed several specific cases, such as a retired professor who was overworked all year round;
Because after starting to implement a moderate rest and activity schedule, his hypertension problem has improved significantly.
Another sedentary writer has not only strengthened his body by adjusting his routine and regular gentle exercise, but also solved his long-term insomnia.
Xu Jianguo's words inspired Xu Jianguo, and he began to think about his daily life, maybe he should really be "lazy" a little.
He asked the doctor, "So how should I adjust my pace of life and work?"
Doctors give some advice, such as getting up for five minutes every hour of work, getting up for at least half an hour a day of gentle physical activity, and getting enough sleep, especially at night.
"In our society, 'lazy' often has a bad connotation, but if it is applied scientifically and rationally to life, can it become a healthy lifestyle?"
This question made Xu Jianguo unforgettable for a long time after returning home, and he even began to plan to write a script about the "scientific 'lazy' method";
It aims to change people's traditional perception of "laziness" and promote a healthier and more scientific attitude to life.
