Life is in motion.
It's a phrase we've heard a lot since we were kids, but is it true that more exercise is better?
In fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people's health for a long time lies in the fact that it is advisable to be quiet and not to move, but this is only a saying in the past.
However, some relevant experts remind that after people reach middle age, they must pay attention to the following points in sports!
Pay attention to the pattern and intensity of your exercise
A medical director said that many of the past cases he came into contact with were because they did not insist on fitness and running, and finally caused serious knee injuries, so they had to undergo surgery as a last resort.
There are even women who have to walk 10,000 steps every day just to walk and exercise in order to maintain their figure, and as a result, they seek medical attention for pain in their feet.
In fact, after people reach middle age, although exercise is good, they must pay attention to the way and control the intensity, once a little discomfort will bring health problems.
In addition, excessive exercise can also cause the heart to increase the burden, especially if you like to do strenuous work, which is very dangerous for the heart to put on you.
In addition, it can cause osteoporosis, excessive exercise will also lead to an increase in the chance of fractures, and the aging itself will cause a decrease in bone density, and excessive or improper strength training will increase the risk of bone.
Especially for people over 50 years old, they need to be more cautious about exercise and do what they can to truly ensure good health.
Keep your daily exercise habits in mind
Experts suggest that maintaining a good exercise routine is crucial, such as the following 3 points:
1. Warm up for at least 10 minutes before each exercise;
Warm-up can help the body gradually enter the state of exercise, reduce the risk of injury, and also allow the heart, lungs and other organs to slowly adapt.
2. Maintain a correct exercise posture;
Whether it is running or other sports, the first thing to understand is the basic operating posture of this sport, after all, once the posture is not correct, it is easy to lead to strain, and it will not achieve the expected exercise effect.
3. Choose the right exercise time and environment.
Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that you should not exercise too early in the morning and not too late at night, the best time to exercise in the morning is 6 o'clock ~ 8 o'clock, and the best time to exercise at night is to complete it before 21 o'clock.
Eat and drink well
In addition to maintaining regular daily exercise, eating habits are also very important, and many people think that eating less before exercise is better, but this is also a misunderstanding to a certain extent.
In the past, there was a man who liked to run in the morning on an empty stomach, which eventually caused dizziness and fatigue many times.
Doctors have also repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to properly supplement food before exercise to avoid the occurrence of hypoglycemia, and it is recommended to eat more foods rich in carbohydrates and protein 1 hour before exercise to provide continuous energy support for exercise.
Of course, it is also possible to maintain a regular diet in life, avoid foods high in fat and sugar, and eliminate junk food.
Finally, for older runners, it is best to have regular physical examinations and monitor their physical condition, which will be more conducive to their reasonable planning of exercise and balanced diet.
In general, exercise must be done in a measured manner, with scientific methods for exercise, and then ensure a healthy diet, and finally stick to it to become healthier and healthier.
