Grandpa Wang, 68, is a retired teacher with a cheerful and lively personality and a full and colorful life. Since his retirement, Grandpa Wang has regarded exercise as a "compulsory course" every day, and he has been exercising unmovingly.
But recently, Grandpa Wang found that he always felt weak, dizzy, and even out of breath. Accompanied by his family, Grandpa Wang came to the hospital for a detailed examination.
After examination, the attending doctor, Dr. Liu, found that Grandpa Wang's heart function had decreased and his blood pressure was also high.
Dr. Liu carefully inquired about Grandpa Wang's daily exercise and found that he insisted on running, playing ball and swimming for a long time every day, and the intensity and time of exercise far exceeded that of his peers.
Dr. Liu said, "Grandpa Wang, your exercise spirit is really admirable. However, excessive exercise can be counterproductive, especially for the elderly.
There are three kinds of exercise, and doing too much not only cannot strengthen the body, but may accelerate the aging of the body, and even induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. "
Grandpa Wang was surprised and asked, "What are the three kinds of sports? Why have I never heard of them?" I thought that the more exercises, the better. "
Dr. Lau explains, "The first is long-term aerobic exercise, such as marathons, long-distance running, etc. Excessive aerobic exercise consumes too much energy, produces a lot of free radicals, and accelerates cellular oxidative stress and aging.
The second is strenuous anaerobic exercise, such as weightlifting, sprinting, etc. This type of exercise can cause blood pressure to rise sharply, heart rate to fluctuate sharply, and the burden on the heart to increase dramatically, which is difficult for the elderly to bear.
The third is difficult technical sports, such as rock climbing, taekwondo, etc. The risk of injury in these sports is high, and the slightest mistake can lead to serious consequences such as fractures and concussions. "
Grandpa Wang suddenly realized: "I do run a few kilometers every day, and I often play for a few hours, it seems that I have 'rushed' too much." So how am I going to exercise in the future? I can't just stop eating, right?"
Dr. Liu smiled: "Of course, it is not for you to stop exercising, but to learn to exercise scientifically."
At the same time, do some strength training appropriately, such as light weight training, yoga, etc., to enhance muscle strength and flexibility.
Grandpa Wang nodded again and again: "Doctor Liu, I have always regarded exercise as a 'good medicine', but I didn't expect that eating too much would also be 'hot'." I must implement your suggestions into the exercise plan to make my exercise more 'symptomatic' and more scientific.
Health not only depends on 'luck', but also on 'wisdom', only with the right way to maintain the body, in order to truly realize the dream of 'old and strong'!"
Dr. Liu said approvingly: "Grandpa Wang, your understanding is really incisive! In fact, exercise is like a 'medicine primer', the dosage should be moderate, and the home remedies should be used with caution, so that the body can absorb the best 'medicinal effect'."
I believe that under the guidance of science, you will be able to find the most suitable exercise 'recipe' for yourself, so that the tree of life will always be green and the flower of health will always bloom!"
Moderate exercise is a panacea for longevity, but excessive exercise can become a chronic poison for longevity.
Everyone's physique and tolerance are different, so exercise prescriptions should also vary from person to person, and strive to be personalized and precise.
Write at the end
Let's learn from Grandpa Wang, treat exercise with a scientific attitude, take care of the body in a wise way, let every drop of sweat be poured on the healthy fertile soil, and make every exercise a festival of life!
I believe that under the guidance of medicine and with our unremitting efforts, we will be able to compose a colorful movement of life, and walk more and more calmly on the road of sports, and live younger and younger!
