Everyone says that exercise is good, but Mr. Xu, a retired national famous old Chinese doctor and a visiting expert in the famous Chinese medicine museum of Yuhang First Hospital, doesn't think so. In an interview with Hangzhou Daily, he put forward a sentence worthy of our middle-aged and elderly people's thinking: life is stupid, and taking medicine when you are sick is the stupidest. Don't always look in the mirror to see if your stomach is getting bigger, especially for the elderly. It is wrong to exercise hard after suffering from chronic diseases. It is correct to exercise before the age of 40, exercise properly before the age of 50, and not exercise after the age of 60, and maintain more.

Viewpoint: Insist on exercise before the age of 40, and fitness after the age of 60 is not equal to health preservation.

"I encourage young people under the age of 40 to run and play more, and those who have the ability can participate in the marathon. But after 50 years old, you should relax and rest more is the way to keep fit. Middle-aged and elderly people are prone to chronic diseases such as diabetes. If the kidney function is good, you can exercise properly. "

Fitness is not equal to health. This is a sentence that Lao Xu particularly emphasized. Many people made mistakes. Fitness should be divided into ages and stages: you must exercise before the age of 40, and you should not exercise and maintain after the age of 60.

Lao Xu mentioned a case: Some people do not exercise when they are young, but exercise hard when they are old, which violates the laws of nature and leads to physical collapse. When an old lady came to see him, she weighed only 70 or 80 Jin. She thinks that exercise can keep healthy. She insists on walking 5 kilometers after dinner every day. Even though the weather in summer is 38 degrees Celsius, her health is getting worse and worse.

Old people must exercise slowly, especially in extreme weather conditions.

Recently, a 58-year-old female patient with lupus erythematosus was found to have a lot of urine protein and her condition was aggravated. When Lao Xu asked, it turned out that this female patient had to walk for 2 hours every day in order to exercise. Even if she feels low back pain and has no strength, she insists on walking at night, and it will be uncomfortable if she doesn't walk. There are also some patients with liver and kidney failure who pursue exercise while taking medicine. This bravado is harmful to their health.

What should we do? Health is a state of mind, rest is exercise, and the oldest professor at Peking University agrees.

Look at Lao Xu. He was an excellent athlete when he was young. After retirement, he worked for half a day and rested at home the rest of the time. But in the past five years, he has never taken medicine or given fluids. Why is this?

Lao Xu said: "Keeping in good health is for working and living healthily, but people's bodies will definitely get old, their teeth will fall out, their hair will turn white and their skin will relax. These are natural phenomena. Many people look in the mirror every day and are worried about these changes. In fact, they should first see if their stomachs are getting bigger. "
