Blood vessels are the main places where blood flows. When blood vessels are blocked or ruptured, the adverse effects on human health will be very serious.

Therefore, everyone must pay more attention to blood vessel maintenance. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people who are over 50 years old, blood vessel elasticity will decrease to a certain extent due to age.

In this case, the incidence of vascular lesions will increase significantly. So what should middle-aged and elderly friends do to effectively protect blood vessels?

In fact, as long as you can develop a good habit of actively walking and exercising, you can effectively ensure the health of your blood vessels. Because walking more can promote blood circulation and reduce blood viscosity, which is very helpful for enhancing blood vessel elasticity and preventing blood clots .

However, middle-aged and elderly friends must pay more attention to controlling the amount of walking exercise. Under normal circumstances, it is best to reach more than 10,000 steps per day.

If you walk too few steps, it is likely that the amount of exercise will be too small and the optimal blood vessel maintenance effect will not be achieved.

However, in the process of walking exercise, just focusing on the number of steps is still not enough.

Let’s find out together. If you want to ensure your health to the maximum extent and maintain your blood vessels, what important details should you pay attention to when doing walking exercises?

　　1. Walking posture

In the process of walking exercise, it is very important to master the correct walking posture. Because if you "walk wrongly", the more you walk, the more likely it is to have a negative impact on your health.

Correct walking posture requires that everyone rotates their left and right legs forward, and must ensure that the left and right legs and left and right feet exert even force. At the same time, the upper body should be kept upright and straight, and should not be hunched over.

In addition, when stepping forward, you need to let your heels land on the ground first, and then let the soles of your feet land on the ground to avoid tilting or falling due to unstable center of gravity.

　2. Walking speed

In the process of controlling the amount of walking exercise, in addition to paying attention to the number of walking steps in time, the walking speed also needs to be paid attention to. For middle-aged and elderly people with poor physical fitness and insufficient endurance, it is best to walk slowly when exercising.

For middle-aged and elderly people with good physical fitness and strong endurance, they can combine fast walking with slow walking in appropriate rotation.

However, when brisk walking accounts for a large proportion, in order to reasonably control the amount of exercise, it is best to appropriately reduce the total number of steps to avoid physical discomfort caused by excessive fatigue.

　3. Timing of walking

　It is not suitable to do a lot of walking exercises in the fasting state or the full stomach state. Since the human body's blood sugar level is often low when fasting, even if you just perform a more soothing walking exercise at this time, it is possible to cause dizziness and headache due to low blood sugar.

After a full meal, the blood supply needs to be concentrated in the stomach. If you walk and exercise immediately at this time, it is likely to cause indigestion or abdominal pain and bloating due to the blood supply being dispersed to the limbs.

The above is an introduction to matters that need to be paid attention to when exercising while walking. If you want to achieve the best blood vessel maintenance effect through walking exercises, in addition to paying attention to the number of steps you walk every day, you must also pay sufficient attention to your walking posture, walking speed, and walking timing.

Otherwise, it is very easy to "take the wrong step" and the effect of blood vessel maintenance will be greatly reduced. In severe cases, it may even cause joint injuries.
