The beginning of winter sports health
Sun Simiao, a famous medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is inappropriate to go out early in the morning and return late at night in winter, which has offended Han Wei." After "beginning of winter", in daily life, it is suggested to go to bed early and get up late, and do it at sunrise to ensure adequate sleep and sleep in properly.
Don't get up too early for morning exercises.
In winter, the atmosphere of heaven and earth is closed and blood is hidden, so people should not sweat. After beginning of winter, the elderly should avoid getting up too early when doing morning exercises. Many old people like to get up before dawn and go out for morning exercise, which is not suitable in winter.
Due to the low temperature in winter morning, the sympathetic nerve of human body is excited, which causes the contraction of skin capillaries, the increase of blood circulation obstruction, the easy increase of blood pressure and the increase of myocardial oxygen consumption. Morning exercise in the elderly is easy to cause accidents such as myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage.
suggestion
The winter morning exercise time can be appropriately postponed to "exercise only when you see the sun". Outdoor activities should be carried out after 9: 30 and before 16: 00. It is most appropriate to have a slight heat in your body. Don't sweat like spring and summer sports.
