The "four taboos" of walking exercise:
1. Some people like to walk with others to exercise, doing household chores and talking about work while walking Talk about things, talk about injustices, and nag about troubles. Although I walked several kilometers in this way, I still failed to achieve the purpose of exercise. As the saying goes, "talking consumes energy," which means that talking too much and for too long can easily damage the essence, qi, and spirit. In addition, talking too much can easily damage body fluids, and walking and sweating can aggravate dehydration.
2. Some people like to talk on the phone with others while walking, or play WeChat, games, etc. on their mobile phones while walking. When talking on the phone or playing with mobile phones, people's minds are transferred to other places and are not concentrated on exercise. If the exercise state of "unity of body and soul" is not achieved, the exercise effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
3. Eating fruits and vegetables while walking is unhygienic in itself and can easily lead to intestinal infectious diseases. In addition, the gastrointestinal tract is constantly moving during walking. If it is stimulated by eating, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily lead to chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Furthermore, when walking, the breathing rhythm increases and the "valve" opens and closes frequently. If you eat fruits and vegetables while walking, it is easy for foreign objects to accidentally enter the airway.
4. Thinking about problems while walking. The road itself is a "laborious" act. Excessive exercise can easily injure the muscles, bones, flesh and blood. Thinking itself is a "laborious" act, and thinking too much can easily damage the spleen and stomach qi and blood. If you think about problems while walking, you will suffer "lose-lose" and "separate body and mind", which will not only fail to achieve the purpose of physical exercise, but will also aggravate the damage to the body.
5. The intensity of walking exercise needs to be gradual and should not be increased too quickly, and the number of walking steps is not always better. Research shows that walking 5,000 to 10,000 steps a day has the best exercise effect. There is no significant difference between exercise effects above 10,000 steps and within 10,000 steps, but the chance of sports injuries increases.
