With the progress of society, the way of transportation is more flexible, people's travel is more convenient, and at the same time, the rate of obesity is also rising.
Nowadays, the convenient and fast lifestyle has reduced the amount of exercise of many people, and there are some health issues that follow.
Walking is a very good way of exercise. People who often work out will know that for those who have no exercise experience, severe exercise very easy to causes damage to the body, especially those who have problems with the knee joint.
This is easy to cause secondary damage to them.
Walking is one of the less physical damages in various exercises. The main reason is that compared with other sports, walking is easier to achieve.
It is easier to do when we usually go to work or off work. There are no venue restrictions and no equipment requirements. It is a way of sports that meets modern people.
Walking can enhance heart function. Every time you take the promotion of blood circulation in the whole body, it is an exercise of the blood vessels of the whole body.
And it can relax muscles, especially for people who are often sedentary. It is more necessary to walk frequently.
For friends who are not very good in the digestive system, walking can promote regular peristalsis of the gastrointestinal and intestines, reduce the accumulation of fat, and maintain a good body shape.
When the human body is walking, 60% to 70%of the muscles of the whole body participate in the event.
This can effectively enhance the strength of the lower limb muscles and ligaments during walking and can promote the blood circulation of the internal organs.
Therefore, walking is undoubtedly the best and easiest exercise, which is very suitable for office workers who lack time for exercise.
There are also things that need to be concerned. Because of the gradual improvement of living standards, carbohydrate intake in many people's lives is much higher than normal levels, which can easily lead to blood sugar instability and cause diabetes.
Compared with those who drive to work, those walking workers have reduced the risk of diabetes by 40%, and the risk of hypertension has also decreased by 17%.
We should ensure the correctness of the posture when walking. You can choose to walk on the soft pavement so that you can relieve the impact on the joint to a certain extent. And the shoes you wear during walking should be comfortable.
