When women reach menopause, their bodies begin to decline. At this time, you might as well walk briskly for half an hour every day, which can both strengthen your body and prevent yourself.
Due to the relationship between estrogen, women are less likely to suffer from heart disease and sudden stroke before menopause than men. This is because estrogen can improve blood vessel elasticity, lower blood pressure, and make blood vessels less likely to harden and block. However, an article recently published in the "Quarterly Journal of the American Medical Association" pointed out that after menopause, women's ovarian function decreases and estrogen secretion also decreases significantly. Without the protective umbrella of estrogen, cholesterol will increase and HDL will decrease, making women more susceptible to atherosclerosis. Therefore, the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women increases significantly. The American Heart Association points out that two-thirds of sudden deaths among women in the United States are caused by coronary arteries. At the same time, after menopause, women are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia than men.
At this time, if more women can participate, the above-mentioned adverse situations can be avoided. "Quarterly of the American Medical Association" pointed out that a study by the Harvard School of Public Health and Public Health showed that among all, brisk walking is the one that menopausal women should adhere to the most and has the best effect. The so-called brisk walking means walking 1 kilometer in 12 minutes.
Researchers at Harvard University conducted a 26-year follow-up study on 72,488 women aged 40-65. They found that none of the women who walked briskly every day had a stroke or heart disease.
Researchers pointed out that if middle-aged and elderly women walk briskly for 45 minutes to 1 hour a day, their risk of stroke can be reduced by 40%. Walking briskly for 30-60 minutes every day has the same effect as jogging, playing tennis, riding a bicycle and other more intense fast-paced exercises. In addition, it has a good effect on preventing diabetes, osteoporosis and certain cancers. In addition, brisk walking has lower physical requirements for women and is easier for people to persist.
