After the age of 60, is it better to rest or exercise more? An article tells for everyone.
In fact, rest and exercise are not as good for your health as the combination of static and dynamic. Old people should not only keep quiet in peacetime, but also keep their bodies calm to avoid overwork. You should also exercise occasionally to speed up the body's metabolism, so that the toxins in the body can be excreted faster, so that the body's ability to resist the outside world will be enhanced and it is not easy to get sick.
As the saying goes, "life lies in exercise", but in the process of daily rest, the elderly need to choose specific sports methods. If the elderly suffer from coronary heart disease, hypertension and other diseases, don't do more exciting sports such as running fast and skipping rope, otherwise it may lead to an increase in blood pressure and damage the cardiovascular system, which is counterproductive. In this case, it is suggested that the elderly should take exercise such as walking slowly and playing Tai Chi for conditioning. You can walk slowly after getting up every morning and after meals, which is good for your physical and mental health.
In addition, more exercise can also accelerate the metabolism of body heat and body fat, prevent fat from accumulating in the body and prevent the elderly from getting fat. Because once you gain weight, your chances of getting sick will also increase. For example, many obese people will suffer from diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Many other diseases are also caused by irregular exercise, so moderate exercise is good for your health.
If the elderly are healthy and have no cardiovascular and skeletal diseases, they can usually do some exercise such as jogging and race walking. The time of each exercise can be kept at about half an hour, which is beneficial to heart function and lung function, and can also play a role in preventing cancer.
Speaking of which, many people may think that exercise is better, but it is not. Although exercise is of great benefit to our health, after all, the physical condition of the elderly is poor. In this case, if we exercise regularly, it will lead to catastrophe. So it is enough to keep reasonable exercise time every day, and keep quiet most of the time. But rest doesn't mean lying in bed or sitting for a long time, but keeping your body in a calm and stable state.
You can move a small stool and sit outdoors in the sun when you are resting. After your body is stimulated by ultraviolet rays, it has a certain protective effect on bones and can prevent bone diseases such as osteoporosis. You can also play chess and read books with your friends every day, and do some mental activities, such as doing math problems, which has a certain exercise effect on brain cells and can prevent brain function degradation and Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, after people reach the age of 60, rest and exercise are actually good for their health. The best way to keep fit is "combination of activity and static", which can achieve better health care effect, improve the quality of life and physical fitness of the elderly, and make them less likely to get sick.
