At first, she persisted for a while, but because of her busy work, she went to the gym less and less, and it was difficult to go once until the next few months. To this end, she was deeply distressed. One night after work, she suddenly remembered, isn't there a step counting function in WeChat? I usually check it occasionally, but I never pay special attention to it. From now on, why not try? Ms. Wang, who is very happy, goes back and forth between work and home for half an hour every day, so that she can get up early and exercise without taking up other time. Plus the steps of working hours, the amount of exercise is definitely not bad, which can be described as multi-objective. From then on, she began to insist. Every night, she doesn't forget to look at today's steps, which is basically maintained at around 1.3 million steps every day.
However, a few months later, Ms. Wang suddenly suffered from knee pain. After hospital diagnosis, I learned that it was knee arthritis caused by excessive exercise.
"Keep it within 10000 steps every day, and about 8000 steps is the best." Dr. Xu said: "Everyone's physique is different. Some people have a lot of exercise or have a sports foundation, so walking more than 30,000 steps will not cause discomfort for the time being, but there may be some health risks. "
He said that Ms. Wang was in good health. A few days ago, another male patient walked more than 10000 steps during the day, and then went for a walk in Nanhu at night at the invitation of a friend. There are more than 10000 steps in one lap, which leads to acute arthritis. After a week of treatment, the unbearable pain was relieved.
With the increase of age, the joints of the body will gradually degenerate. According to statistics, people over the age of 50 basically have knee joint degeneration, and female menopause is more serious. More than 70% of people over 60 have knee osteoarthritis, while almost all people over 70 have knee osteoarthritis. The most common manifestations of knee osteoarthritis are knee swelling and pain, pain in going up and down stairs, and knee pain and discomfort when sitting up and walking.
"The damage to joints, ligaments and cartilage is irreversible," said Dean Xu. Walking is very simple, but it is related to the synchronous work of a series of body tissues such as joints, muscles, ligaments and soft tissues. Once a muscle is pulled, the joints will be damaged. Therefore, moderate walking exercise is the key to ensure health, especially for people with joint injuries or basic diseases and overweight people. Pay attention to moderate walking, or choose swimming, cycling, playing badminton and doing aerobic exercise.
