Drink 8 glasses of water every day to ensure 8 hours of sleep. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day, and you consume 2000 calories every day ... You must have heard of these "health guides". In recent years, with the popularity of sports trackers such as health sports applications (APP) and smart bracelets, "walking 10,000 steps a day" has also become a "health criterion" that is popular all over the world.
It is understood that "10,000 steps a day, health is your life" is also the earliest slogan put forward by the health department. Experts point out that you can achieve the goal of fitness by walking 6000 to 10000 steps every day. For office workers, if they don't have a whole block of time to exercise, they can divide it into several parts and take a big step on the way to work or do things and buy food. In fact, 10,000 steps is not a strict and absolute indicator. The real purpose behind it is to hope that everyone can achieve a balanced exercise, avoid overnutrition and overweight and obesity, and thus reduce the incidence of chronic diseases in the third and higher grades. In fact, due to many differences in age, physique and living conditions, different people need different amounts of exercise to achieve a "diet balance", so it is impossible to have a healthy exercise standard suitable for everyone.
Each of us has different constitutions and different degrees of tolerance to sports. Generally speaking, adults walk about 6500 steps a day on average, which varies from person to person. For people who are used to sports at ordinary times, it is also very simple to take a step or two. If people who usually lack exercise suddenly take one or twenty thousand steps a day, it will not only increase the burden on the exercise system, but also damage joints, ligaments and bones, which is counterproductive.
Ten thousand steps a day can't be a standard to measure a person's health.
