"No pain, no gain", health is not easy to come by, and we need to work hard to maintain it for a long time. Recently, actor Chow Yun-fat was encountered by netizens while running, and in the photo, he obviously had some abnormally raised tumors on his legs, which looked worrying.
This has once again sparked a public debate about whether long-term running is suitable for long-term running, and it has also made us reflect on what kind of exercise is best for our health.
It's an indisputable truth that exercise is good for the body. However, exercise also needs to be moderate, otherwise it can be counterproductive. Mr. Chow Yun-fat is 67 years old, and at his age, it may be a bit difficult to run long distances every day, so you need to pay attention to the amount of exercise you need to arrange reasonably.
Some experts pointed out that long-term running on hard roads is very harmful to the knees of the elderly, and it is recommended to switch to aerobic exercise on grass or tracks, or more joint-friendly sports such as swimming and cycling. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of diet and nutrition to prevent senile malnutrition.
But we shouldn't jump to the conclusion that older people shouldn't exercise vigorously.
Studies have shown that proper aerobic exercise can enhance cardiopulmonary function in the elderly, delay the decline of physical functions, reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, and improve memory and cognitive ability.
For example, 70-year-old Iron Man Ovcher still jogs for 1-2 hours several times a week.
It is important to set a reasonable amount of exercise according to the individual's physical condition, while paying attention to the prevention of sports injuries. Some low-intensity strength training can also be beneficial for older adults.
Of course, we should not be categorized by age group to make absolute judgments about what sports are suitable for which age. Everyone's constitution and state are different. Some people are still energetic at the age of 70 or 80, and some people are frail and sickly at the age of 50.
Exercise prescriptions are not one-size-fits-all, but individualized. No matter what kind of exercise, you need to gradually increase the amount and intensity of exercise, and fully understand your physical condition in the process.
Judging a person's health based on their appearance alone is not necessarily accurate. Chow Yun-fat looks thinner, and some netizens think that this is a manifestation of ineffective health preservation.
But it may be more genetic. Lu Liangwei, who was born in the same month of the same year, looks younger.
We should not judge a person's health simply by their appearance. A person who can continue to exercise a lot at the age of 70 has undoubtedly outwitted most of his peers mentally and willfully.
Of course, we should also be aware that there are risks associated with overexercising. It has been reported that excessive marathons may lead to the death of myocardial fibers and even heart disease.
But this is very rare, and the problem faced by the vast majority of people is still lack of exercise. Based on a combination of studies, experts recommend that 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week is enough to reap the health benefits. No matter what you do, the right amount and intensity are key.
The fundamental purpose of health preservation is to improve the quality of life. If it interferes with normal life for the sake of exercise, it loses its meaning. Exercise should be done as part of life, in moderation and with pleasure, rather than being done reluctantly.
Once you feel physically and mentally exhausted, you should adjust in time. Because everyone's tolerance is different, we need to know how to listen to the body's feedback.
At the end of the day, health doesn't happen overnight, it requires perseverance. But this effort also needs to be applied wisely to the right amount.
We should maintain a positive attitude, but we should also avoid blindly demanding and demanding.
Properly adjust your lifestyle to make it more scientific and reasonable, and maintain a proper rhythm of exercise, diet, work, and rest, which is the way to live a healthy life.
