Is shopping a sport?
Shopping is a good exercise. But just like all sports, we need to pay attention to some details when shopping to avoid sports injuries.

First of all, wear light shoes when shopping for a long time, and try to avoid wearing high heels. Walking for a long time, the load on the lower limbs is greater. If the sole is hard, it will often increase the pressure on the knee joint and increase the wear of articular cartilage. If you wear high heels or shoes that don't fit, you are more likely to get blisters.

Secondly, choose a smaller and lighter backpack. Many women like big backpacks, especially those with one shoulder and one back, which overload one side of the body for a long time and affect the stability of scapula and spine. If you need to carry too many things with you, it is recommended to use a shoulder bag as much as possible, or change the shoulder bag on the other side after a while to achieve balance.

It should also be noted that shopping itself is a good aerobic exercise, but many women have the habit of eating snacks while shopping. Many snacks are high in calories, and aerobic exercise consumes less energy than eating snacks. On the contrary, the more people who love shopping, the fatter they will be. Therefore, when shopping, you should try to avoid eating snacks, and at least choose foods with low calories such as fruits.
