Choose the right time
Although the square dance aunts usually come out to dance after dinner, there are also many aunts who start dancing in the early morning and then go home late at night. In fact, this is not desirable. Too early or too late will disturb the body's biological clock and affect sleep. Therefore, it is best to go dancing one hour after supper. At this time, the time of each dance should not be too long, and an hour or so is enough.
Disadvantages of square dance
Diabetic patients should not dance square dance.
Experts pointed out that studies have proved that when people are in a noisy environment, their blood lipid and blood sugar levels will increase. When dancing in the square dance, the music is loud, and some music is also very exciting, which also affects the joints, so he does not recommend the elderly with diabetes to dance in the square dance.
Compared with other seasons, it is more difficult to control blood sugar in winter. Because it is cold in winter, people instinctively want to eat high-calorie things, such as braised pork, which is rarely eaten in summer and eaten more in winter, so they should pay more attention to exercise in winter.
Exercise suitable for diabetics should be relatively mild in form. For the elderly, Dr. Mou suggested walking, walking quickly, warming up first, and walking quickly after physical activity; Young people with good physical strength can engage in relatively slow-paced sports such as jogging, cycling and swimming.
Square dance should not last long, 40 minutes is enough.
Experts believe that if the elderly exercise for too long, it will prompt the body to release a large number of hormones to decompose protein, replenish the energy needed for excessive exercise, and accelerate organ aging. If it exceeds the heart load capacity, it will also cause the decline of heart function, which is harmful to health.
It is suggested that the total exercise time should not exceed 60 minutes, and these 60 minutes should be allocated reasonably: before jumping, you should do a simple warm-up exercise of stretching muscles and ligaments for 5- 10 minutes; Jump for 40 minutes at most, and the intensity shall be subject to pulse 120- 140 beats/min or slight sweating; Take a rest 10 minutes after the jump, do some slow and relaxing finishing exercises, and don't go home directly, otherwise it will affect the oxygen supply to the brain and the venous blood return, and lower the blood pressure. In addition, the elderly should try to avoid twisting their necks, turning their waists and hips when dancing in square dance. Cotton-padded jacket, who wears sweat absorption when dancing, had better take an extra coat to prevent catching cold after sweating.
