Walking like this will harden the blood vessels! Take a proper walk, these places are preferred
With the improvement of living standards, people also began to pay attention to exercise. We all know that sports make people young, happy and full of energy. Regular exercise every day is good for the body.
We also often see people who go out for a walk after dinner, especially the elderly. Going for a walk is easy and inexpensive.
Taking a daily walk can help with better digestion, as well as pass the time and relax. And the benefits of walking don't stop there. But not all occasions are suitable for healthy walks.
Note: Often walking on the street, the blood vessels will harden!
There is an international study published in the international medical journal "The Lancet". There are 119 people over the age of 60, regardless of health or other diseases, if they walk along the bustling road, their lung function improves. Very weak, and arteriosclerosis will increase.
Only people who walked in the park improved lung function, softened arteries, and the effect lasted up to 26 hours after the walk.
It can be seen that the first is unsafe, and the second is unhealthy!
In fact, walking on the street is also a habit of many people. First, everyone can walk together, and second, they can exchange feelings. Besides, the street is indeed not as convenient as walking in the park. The disadvantages of walking on the street actually outweigh the advantages.
Unsafe: Traffic accidents are prone to occur on the street.
Unhealthy: Walking on the road is easily affected by motor vehicle exhaust, and the concentration of inhalable particles, carbon monoxide, etc. in the air on the street is relatively high. Walking on the street for a long time will affect our respiratory system, immune system, and cardiovascular system.
For a proper walk, these places are preferred!
- Plant-rich parks and campuses
If conditions permit, it is best to go for a walk in a park or campus with many green plants, so that the air is relatively fresh and there are almost no vehicles.
- A community with many green plants
You can also exercise in areas with more green plants. Although many communities are located on the side of the road, and there are not as many green plants as parks, or there are also access by domestic motor vehicles, but the roadside is blocked by buildings, and the pollution is relatively lighter than on the road.
- Indoor exercise
Although the room may not be able to breathe fresh air, it will also reduce the inhalation of harmful gases. Exercise can be done indoors by doing suitable exercises.
If you have to walk on the side of the road, you must also avoid the morning and evening rush hours. And also pay attention to the summer and autumn, when the sunlight is relatively strong, it is best to avoid walking on the road.
There are many benefits to walking, but you also need to pay attention to the following issues
- Warm up properly
It is also recommended to do a proper warm-up exercise before walking, such as moving your feet in advance, stretching your limbs, which can increase the body temperature, make the body safer during the walk, and avoid unnecessary injuries. .
- Walk slowly
Take a walk after dinner to keep a proper pace, don't go too fast or too fast.
Try to slow down as much as possible, you can make the blood circulation of the whole body move, because most of the blood in the body is still in the stomach after a period of time, and going too fast can easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
In fact, different moves will have different effects. Sedentary office workers or middle-aged and elderly people who sit and watch TV for a long time can try this method.
When walking backwards, be careful not to bump into things or fall over. Because walking backwards can actually exercise the muscles of the lower back.
