Exercise is obviously a good thing for physical health. The country has not only called on all people to exercise in order to improve the physical fitness of the people and enhance the courage of the nation.
There are indeed many studies that prove that compared with people who like sports, people who like sports and have always exercised are healthier, have lower risks of disease, are more likely to live longer, and the body's immune system ages slower. Exercise does play a role in delaying aging.
The benefits of exercise abound, but many people believe that physical exercise will accelerate aging
Lao Zhou is 58 years old this year. Thinking that he will really be 60 years old in one year, he is also very scared, fearing that his health will get worse and worse.
When I was watching short videos, I saw a doctor saying exercise is good for the body and can also delay aging. Even walking is still an exercise. Then Lao Zhou started walking every day. In the past, he would just hang around downstairs in the community and go home to eat when it was almost time for dinner.
Recently, Lao Zhou has been walking around the lake. When he first started walking, Lao Zhou felt a little strenuous. He felt vaguely that his knees were a little uncomfortable. After a few days, he got used to it.
Unexpectedly, after persisting for two weeks, Lao Zhou found that his knees were very painful. The pain became more and more painful as he walked, and his body was still weak. Realizing that something was wrong, Lao Zhou went to the hospital for a checkup and found that his knee joints were severely worn. At the same time, he also had the tendency to develop rhabdomyolysis.
This is hard to understand for Old Monday. Aren’t the more you exercise, the stronger your legs and feet become? Why are you getting more and more backward and getting sick?
Doctors said that the elderly pay special attention to physical health. Moderate exercise is indeed a thing that delays aging. It can also prevent and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, which is conducive to longevity.
But not any amount of exercise is acceptable. When exercising, ignores aspects such as intensity, strength, posture, , etc. No matter how seriously you exercise or how persistently you exercise, it will affect the effect of exercise and even accelerate aging.
Why does excessive exercise not delay aging, but accelerate it?
In fact, this is easy to understand. The human body has metabolism every day, and the metabolism speed increases when exercises.
We always talk about metabolism, but what exactly is metabolism?
It is actually the process of the body's "reduction of the old and the adoption of the new". For example, when you eat, Food is new, and excreted feces is old. Because of this process, the body can have a steady stream of nutrients to maintain operation.
Metabolism is too fast, food entering the body is like going through a formality . Slowly the body does not have enough nutrition , and people will seem to have no energy, so people will get a little older from the inside out.
Proper exercise will indeed promote metabolism. Excessive exercise will cause the metabolic rate to be in an abnormal range, accelerate aging, and make exercise a thing that is harmful to health and accelerates aging.
If you have nausea, chest tightness, insomnia, reduced work efficiency, poor mental state, etc. after exercise, it has been explained. Exercise about 4 times a week, 30 minutes each time.
In addition to excessive exercise, there are also these wrong ways of exercise that will also accelerate aging.
Exercise is not just as simple as letting the body move for a period of time. What needs to be paid attention to is not only the intensity of exercise, but also the frequency of exercise that is too intensive. If the body is not given a day to rest, it will also affect the condition of the skin and cause wrinkles to appear in advance.
Some people exercise to lose weight. If the waist, abdomen and arms are obese, they will use targeted local fat reduction. Although the right medicine is effective, it will also lead to body parts fatigue and soreness over time. It is best to do systemic exercise. Combine multiple exercise methods, and then choose a targeted fat reduction.
Exercise is actually the most taboo of a single exercise. likes to do aerobic exercise like fast jogging, swimming, and cycling I don’t like to do strength training with equipment (squats, high leg raises, plank support , push-ups, pull-ups, wall squats, etc.). Especially for obese people, after losing weight, their fat will become less , and their flesh will be loose and flabby, they will look older, so the types of exercises should be rich.
Research has found that elderly people who do high-intensity intermittent exercise have a lower risk of disease. High-intensity intermittent exercise refers to giving yourself 1 minutes to do high-intensity exercise, and then resting for 20 seconds, but it is not suitable for elderly people with high blood pressure and high blood lipids .
High-intensity exercises (rope skipping, badminton, fast climbing, burpees, weightlifting, etc.) are not recommended for the elderly to avoid burdening the body.
In addition to the above points, now Although there are also indoor sports, most people still prefer outdoor sports. If you don't protect yourself from the sun when exercising, ultraviolet rays will accelerates skin aging, and sweating after exercise and not cleaning the skin in time and moisturizing will also accelerate aging.
Now is the time when the epidemic is released. Immunity is the body’s first line of defense. Exercise is an effective way to improve immunity . A study of 200,000 people found that people who exercise regularly are less likely to be infected with the new coronavirus The risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death is low.
However, during the epidemic, these types of people are not recommended to exercise easily.
After being infected with the new crown, the body will have a fever. Fever does not mean that you can't move. If exceeds 38.5℃ for 2 consecutive days, then don't exercise, because physical recovery requires energy. Exercise will not improve immune recovery but will affect recovery.
and Exercise when your muscles are sore It will also aggravate the symptoms. If you don't sleep well, have underlying diseases, and seldom exercise, you should also reduce your exercise.
If you have "turned negative", it is not recommended to resume your previous exercise immediately, as your body has not fully recovered.
But in the end, compared to people who do not exercise very much, if you exercise regularly, even a little bit of exercise, it is good for your body. After all, life lies in movement.
