Uncle Zhang and his wife have been quarreling for many years. After they retired, they had more free time every day, so they began to exercise. After 6 o'clock every day, they would go downstairs for a walk. After just two days of leaving, the two started arguing again. Mr. Zhang's wife thought he was walking too fast, which was not good. He felt that his wife walked too slowly, so it would not work. Then he walked alone in front. After a few days, the two stopped exercising together.
Regarding walking, I believe many people have heard of the saying that walking ten thousand steps a day. Many people are persistent in walking as much as they walk every day. If they do not meet the goal, they will continue to walk. Only when they meet the standards will be effective and will be beneficial to the body.
But in fact, this does not have a unified answer. For others, going too much brings benefits, but it does not mean that the same is true for you. You cannot blindly follow the trend. You should proceed reasonably based on your actual situation.
. Compared with this, how much you walk in one minute may be more critical. Your speed can reveal your health to a certain extent. Uncle Zhang thinks it is better to be faster, while his wife thinks it should be slower. Which method is better? Not to mention, for pace, some studies have discovered the relationship between it and health and lifespan!
Research has discovered what is the relationship between walking speed and lifespan?
A study in the Journal of Internal Medicine of the American Medical Association found that the high-frequency walking intensity of may bring more obvious health benefits.
Another ten-year study of 500 elderly people found that
More than 70% of the elderly who walk slowly die, And among those who walk fast, less than 30% die.
There are also studies in France that found the relationship between the two, and considered factors such as gender and age. Finally, it was found that
People who walk slowly have a 40% increase in the risk of dying from heart disease.
A report in the Journal of Mayo Clinic also found the relationship between the two. The sample was large, with nearly 500,000 people. Finally, it was found that people who walk faster live longer, and can take about ten or twenty years to .
Judging from these research results, they are all similar, that is: people who walk faster will be healthier and longer.
It is better to go faster, how fast is it, how much does it reach per minute? How big a step should you take?
This kind of walking is considered a training exercise. It is not recommended that everyone walk slowly. While walking, chatting about family matters. It is more appropriate to walk 100 steps per minute. For men and women, you can refer to the following frequency: Walk 90-130 steps per minute (male), 80-120 steps (female) . In addition, it is advisable to walk for about half an hour in a row. Mastering these two key points may bring real benefits.
There are also some considerations for how big the steps are. It is not good if it is too small or too big, but there is no standard for this, because it is related to the height of a person. You can refer to this calculation formula: multiply your height by 0.45-0.5, and the calculation is generally a more appropriate amplitude.
What are the advantages of longevity compared to people who walk slowly?
Advantage 1: Aging may be slower
" Journal of the American Medical Association " tracked the life of the subjects. Finally, it was found that:
People who walk slowly look older, not only Facial skin , but also Brain .
Although aging cannot be directly linked to lifespan, it is also related. As soon as a person is old, the incidence of many diseases will increase, and the impact of diseases on lifespan is great, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, if you walk fast and grow old slowly, you will have an advantage and will be easier to live longer.
Advantage 2: Muscles and bones are healthier
Whether walking or other activities, they require the coordination and coordination of each muscle and bone, which is closely related to it. In life, some people do not want to walk faster, but it is difficult to do it because there are bones or joints. On the contrary, those who can do it mean that they are healthier and more likely to live longer.
Therefore, people who don’t walk fast are also reminded to pay attention, or often feel pain in legs or pain in other places when they walk . Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention early, find out the reason, and do not continue to force yourself to avoid aggravating discomfort.
To sum up, the speed of walking may indeed be related to the length of life. People who walk fast have more advantages. What frequency and amplitude should you maintain? You may wish to refer to the suggestions above. Use this method to persist for a period of time. I believe you will feel the gratifying changes in your body. Don’t always stare at the step ranking list to see if you have walked to ten thousand steps today.
