"Gentleman" found an article about life in a circle of friends a few days ago. The title of the article is like this. Is life really about sports? Then compare the daily exercise, heart rate and life span of elephants and cheetahs, and compare the daily exercise, heart rate and life span of turtles and mice. There is a limit to the number of heartbeats. If the heart beats too much, it will be short-lived, which vividly shows that life lies not in movement, but in stillness.

Then I talked about the current athletes and bodybuilders. Although they jump high, run fast and have great strength, none of them can live long. The meaning of life lies in rest and health preservation. Although those muscles look really good, they often consume a year's life, which is not worth the candle.

Is that really the case? Is life in motion or at rest?

First, there is no connection between animal's "heart rate and life span".

The author of this article is very clever, using elephants and cheetahs in nature, as well as turtles and mice as examples, saying that animals who exercise too much will have a faster heart rate and live longer, but there are many animals in nature, just the opposite of this example. The life span of animals has nothing to do with the amount of exercise and heart rate, but with the nature of animals. For example, the common heart rate of birds is 200-300 beats/minute, far exceeding the human heart rate. The heart rate is only 40-50 beats/min, but the life span is only about 10 years.

Second, athletes and fitness muscle men are not a flash in the pan.

Many people think that athletes and bodybuilders usually exercise too much, and the loss of body organs is greater than that of ordinary people, so they will cause various diseases when they get older. It does sound reasonable. Many media have reported that some athletes or bodybuilders are weak when they get old.

But this is not the case. When we discuss one thing, we should not use special cases and individuals. Without investigation, we have no right to speak. The news on the Internet about the short life span of most athletes and bodybuilders is only a special case. Most athletes and bodybuilders will not be worse off than ordinary people in their later years. Moreover, according to statistics, most athletes and bodybuilders will live longer than ordinary people, and the probability of getting sick in their later years is lower.

Nowadays, the authors of many articles are a little irresponsible, saying that smokers live longer, and then citing some special cases to show that athletes and bodybuilders are short-lived ghosts, and then quoting some special cases is simply irresponsible and misleading readers.

Do you think life should be moving and static?
