Modern people pay more attention to exercise. Whether they are young people or elderly people, they will do some exercise accordingly. They feel that more exercise is beneficial to health, and they can always reap some benefits from it.
However, there are many opinions about exercise, especially for the elderly. Some people have heard that the elderly should exercise less or not at all to be healthy, and it is better to rest instead.
There is also a saying that the elderly's insistence on proper exercise can help reduce the occurrence of some diseases, which is of great significance to delay aging and extend life span. Which one is correct?
Can more exercise help you live longer?
According to many studies, it can be found that regardless of age, long-term and reasonable exercise will bring more benefits to the body. A previous study in "The Lancet" showed that insisting on swing exercises can reduce all-cause mortality . It was also found that the risk of cardiovascular disease showed a downward trend.
It is not only this sport, but also many sports. It is found that running, walking, swimming, if persisted for a long time and carried out reasonably, can bring some benefits to the body, such as . Enhance immunity and change the immune environment in the body. For cancer patients it may help fight cancer and help prolong the patient's survival .
In addition, insisting on the above aerobic exercise can also play a certain role in strengthening bones, strengthening cardiopulmonary function, and assisting in lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids. It may also play a good role in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, we also need to clarify one thing, which is the definition of longevity. For normal people, the older they live, the longer they live. In addition, when you achieve longevity, you can still feel happy. This state will be more desirable.
For sick people, especially those suffering from some serious diseases, as long as they can extend their lifespan as much as possible, they will live a long life.
If you exercise appropriately on the basis of illness and extend your life through exercise, in this case, it may be said that more exercise can lead to longevity.
So, when you enter old age, should you rest or exercise more?
There is also a lot of controversy over this issue. Some people think that rest should be the main focus, while others think that should be done moderately. As long as your body allows it, you may get unexpected surprises if you insist on doing physical exercise.
Based on the above content, we can understand that with reasonable exercise, the body will gain more benefits, but there are also prerequisites, and exercise needs to be carried out according to each person's actual situation.
People who are in relatively good physical condition or have always had exercise habits will benefit from relatively more physical exercise if they insist on doing it. However, you must pay attention to the amount and method of exercise.
It is also necessary to correctly understand that more exercise is required. It does not mean that the more exercise, the better , nor does it mean that high-intensity exercise is necessary. You should still have a good sense of proportion, otherwise it will not bring benefits to the body, but may cause more harm.
When exercising for the elderly, you need to keep three prerequisites:
Premise 1: Don’t exercise excessively
Some elderly people want to bring more benefits to the body, so they think about increasing the amount of exercise. They think that the longer they exercise, the better, or that the more exercise, the better. In fact, this idea is not correct.
If you want to benefit your body through exercise, reasonable exercise is a necessary prerequisite. If you always exercise excessively, it will cause greater damage to the joints, and the exercise effect will not be ideal.
Premise 2: Don’t be anxious
Because I saw others getting corresponding benefits from exercise, I also wanted to get the same benefits through exercise, so I started exercising without knowing more about it.
It may happen that you do high-intensity exercise at the beginning, and the amount of exercise is very large, without considering your actual situation at all. You are just a little too anxious and don't give yourself time to adapt. Your body may not be able to bear it, causing some problems.
Premise 3: The purpose is too strong
When doing exercise, everyone has his or her own purpose, whether young or old, some are to lose weight, some are to maintain a good figure, and some are to maintain health.
Doing exercise with a purpose is not a bad thing, but if the purpose is too strong, it may change the taste and easily cause errors in the effect of exercise. In the end, what the body gains may not be benefits, but more harm.
Just because the purpose is too strong, it is easy to ignore some detailed issues . It is true that some people have brought benefits to the body through some exercise methods, but they also need to view such things correctly and make plans based on their own, rather than blindly following .
By following blindly, not only will you not get good exercise effects, but it will also easily cause unnecessary damage to the body. One thing you need to understand is that everyone's situation is somewhat different. If you cannot exercise realistically, the exercise effects may be unsatisfactory.
When looking at the relationship between exercise, health and longevity, we still hope to treat it with a normal mind. Don't over exaggerate the effects, and don't exercise too blindly. You must be prepared in advance, which will bring more corresponding benefits to the human body.
