Exercise is an important part of health preservation. Hua Tuo’s words in the Han Dynasty are a famous saying. When talking about the Five Birds Opera, he pointed out: “The human body wants to work, but it is not enough to use extreme ears. If it shakes, the grain will be sold, the blood will circulate, and the disease will not be born.” If you don’t use it properly, that is, you can’t overdone it. If you don’t overact it, it will be unfavourable to health care. In modern health science, exercise occupies an unshakeable position, and almost every health expert should emphasise the importance of exercise to health. As an old Chinese medicine doctor with rich health experience, Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, also expressed his views in the article “Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, talks about sports and health care”. He agreed that exercise is an important part of health care, and suggested that middle-aged and elderly people adopt walking and fitness methods.
He said: Middle-aged and elderly people can choose to walk for 30 minutes a day, which is also called “medical walk” in medicine. People over 60 years old take a walk twice a day for 30-40 minutes each time, which is very good for their health.” Every day before lunch, I take a leisurely walk around the building I live in for 10 times.” At the same time, Mr. Deng also pointed out that exercise is not only physical, but also includes “brain exercise”, reading, reading newspapers, and making the brain “move”; thinking about problems, writing articles, and the brain can also “move”.
The elderly might as well keep a diary, which is good for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. So, what are the benefits of walking every day? Walking is a gentle exercise. Its intensity is suitable for everyone. The principle of “three, five, seven” should be followed when walking. Three: 30 minutes of exercise each time; Five: Five days of exercise per week; Seven: Heart rate after exercise = 170-age.
