Problems needing attention in weight loss exercise for the elderly
Losing weight is a topic that many people care about and pay more attention to. Many people around you are overweight. There are many obese elderly people. Obesity is not good for the elderly, and hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes often occur. So many elderly people exercise to lose weight every day, so what problems should the elderly pay attention to when exercising to lose weight? Everyone needs to pay attention to the following questions.

1, avoid overexcited exercise. This kind of exercise can accelerate blood circulation and make blood pressure rise sharply, especially for the elderly with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, which may easily lead to myocardial infarction or stroke, or even life-threatening.

2. Avoid holding your breath. When people get old, their respiratory function is weakened, their vital capacity and alveolar elasticity are reduced. Holding one's breath will damage their respiratory muscles, and even cause alveolar rupture, leading to pulmonary and bronchial bleeding.

3. Avoid fast and overloaded exercise. Overloaded sports such as rapid exercise or weight lifting overload the heart, easily leading to accidents such as fainting, or causing bone deformation and injury.

4, avoid taking exercise with illness. When the elderly are sick, the functions of various organs in the body are worse than usual, and their resistance is weaker. At this time, physical exercise will accelerate physical consumption, reduce disease resistance, and lead to aggravation of the disease.

5. Avoid walking after meals. Walking at a hundred paces after a meal is very suitable for young adults. But the elderly, especially those over 70 years old, walking immediately after meals is easy to increase the burden on the heart. If you still have coronary heart disease, postprandial bloating can reflexively cause coronary artery contraction, reduce myocardial blood supply, and may aggravate the degree and scope of myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and induce angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction.

6. Obese old people should not do mountaineering. Climbing stairs is a good exercise, but it is not suitable for obese elderly people. The articular surface of patella in the elderly has proliferated, and the articular surface is uneven, which increases the friction between patella and femur, limits the range of motion of knee joint, and leads to the stiffness of knee joint and inconvenient movement in the elderly. In addition, going upstairs is an activity with a lot of exercise, which is not suitable for the elderly with heart and lung diseases.

What problems should the elderly pay attention to when exercising to lose weight? The legs and feet of the elderly are not so flexible, so we must pay attention to safety when exercising at ordinary times. You must pay attention to the amount of exercise at ordinary times to avoid physical discomfort. Exercise your muscles and warm up before exercise to avoid some sprains during exercise. Do what you can, and don't do strenuous exercise.
