In a survey report on centenarians in Jiangsu, it was found that these long-lived people generally like to rest, but the exercise regimen advocated by many health-keeping concepts is not recognized here. However, in daily life, middle-aged and elderly people often like walking or jogging after meals to exercise, so as to dredge blood vessels and speed up metabolism. So which is better for your health, rest or physical exercise? Do you know these secrets about the body?

Do middle-aged and elderly people have a good rest or insist on exercising?

1. Rest is not completely motionless.

With the increase of age, the organs of middle-aged and elderly people are aging and degenerating accordingly. Therefore, many middle-aged and elderly people prefer to do some activities with little activity at home, such as watering flowers, raising birds and reading books. Instead of going out to exercise. In this case, the harm of excessive physical exercise to the body can be avoided. Especially for some people with chronic diseases, rest is undoubtedly a way to cultivate self-cultivation and minimize harm to the body. However, rest does not mean complete stillness, except eating and sleeping. If you are too still, your metabolism will be too slow, which is not conducive to the efficient operation of various organs in your body.

Exercise is good, but it should be moderate.

Many middle-aged and elderly people like to go out for a slow walk after dinner or in the morning, which can promote blood circulation while stretching their muscles and bones, and is conducive to the timely and effective discharge of toxins and garbage. And through certain physical exercise, it can promote the improvement of human immunity and effectively prevent osteoporosis. However, in the process of exercise, you need to do what you can and choose the exercise method that suits you according to the actual situation. If you blindly choose a sports mode with a large amount of exercise, you will not only fail to achieve the expected good results, but also induce many diseases and even endanger your life and health because of physical overload. Therefore, exercise is good, but moderate.

3. Combination of rest and exercise, proceeding from reality.

No research shows that complete rest or complete physical exercise is better for your health, and the combination of rest and exercise is the best way. For some middle-aged and elderly people with chronic diseases or weak health, rest is the best way to keep fit. Proper and moderate physical exercise during rest can improve the metabolic process of the body to a certain extent, which is conducive to the health and longevity of the body.

However, for those middle-aged and elderly people who are hale and hearty, we can give priority to physical exercise, supplemented by rest, appropriately enhance the intensity of physical exercise in their leisure time after tea, and speed up the circulation of blood in blood vessels through exercise forms such as walking or jogging, so as to prevent some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, excessive physical exercise will cause the body to be in a state of fatigue for a long time and bring an excessive burden to the body.

So no matter what kind of health care, starting from your own reality, choosing the one that suits you best is the best choice.
