Which is healthier, "exercise" or "rest"? Today, let's take a look at the answer to this controversial question!
0 1 Is life moving or static?
The reason why life lies in rest is that people find that animals with fast heart rate live shorter lives, while animals with slow heart rate live longer lives. For example, an elephant's heart rate is about 30 beats per minute, but its average life span is 70 years. On the contrary, the heart rate of mice is very fast, reaching 450 beats per minute, but mice usually only live 1 year. Through the study of many mammals, it is found that the heart rate of animals is negatively correlated with life expectancy, that is, the heart rate is fast and generally short.
But this law does not apply to humans. Human heart rate is similar to that of pigs and dogs, but human life expectancy is four times or more than that of other animals. In a word, whether stillness is beneficial to longevity has not been proved by research, but it is well known that exercise is beneficial to health.
02 Exercise pays attention to "moderation"
Exercise can maintain physical strength, delay aging, prevent diseases and prolong life, but the key to exercise is "moderation". Moderate exercise can not only keep people energetic, but also control their weight to some extent and reduce the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke and other diseases.
In fact, in 20 12, researchers from Harvard University made a related study on whether exercise can prolong life. Studies have shown that walking for more than 1 hour per week will prolong the life span of people who don't exercise for nearly 4 years. Those who exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight live seven years longer than obese people who don't like exercise.
It can be seen that moderate exercise is helpful to prolong life.
On the contrary, if you exercise too much, it will be harmful to your health. Excessive exercise will first damage bones, muscles and joints, and it is easy to cause organ strain and even stress fractures. After excessive exercise, muscle lactic acid will accumulate in large quantities, which will increase the burden of renal excretion and even lead to acute renal injury and renal failure.
How to calculate moderate exercise?
Experts remind: normal heart rate × 150%= heart rate after exercise, and the exercise effect is just right! Generally speaking, it is advisable to increase the heart rate by 50% after exercise. For example, the heart rate measured before exercise is 70 beats/min, and measured after exercise, and the heart rate of 105 beats/min is the best. If the heart rate is fast, the exercise should slow down; If it is slow, you can increase the strength.
If a man wants to live longer, he should do four things well.
Everyone wants to live a long life, but few people really live a long life, especially men. The survey shows that the average age of men is 5- 10 years younger than that of women. Doctors suggest that after the age of 40, men should do four things well to reduce the occurrence of diseases and help prolong their life.
Eat less fat: men begin to have a big belly around the age of 40, which is related to their usual love of fat and high-calorie food. Eating high-calorie, high-fat food frequently is easy to suffer from diseases such as arteriosclerosis and hyperlipidemia, which affects life expectancy.
Quit smoking and drinking: Many men are under great pressure at work, usually busy with entertainment, and often smoke and drink. This habit will increase the incidence of diseases, and of course their life expectancy will not be too high.
Eat to eight points full: Many men will suffer from fatty liver, which is caused by their long-term drinking and eating big fish and meat every day. Try not to eat sweets, red meat, bacon, etc. Prevent overnutrition when eating at ordinary times. This is also the key to a man's longevity. Eating eight points full is actually just right.
Exercise 3~5 times a week: Many men don't like exercise, which is why they don't live long enough. I am very busy at work, so I have little time to exercise. I usually sleep at home on weekends, and my physical problems will appear. To ensure longevity, you must exercise well, and a healthy body can make you live longer.
Longevity still requires people to pay more attention to diet and living habits to make themselves healthier and live longer.
