Now there are a variety of sports, "walking" with small exercise intensity, safety, simple advantages become the first choice of many middle-aged and elderly friends.

In particular, some people also set the goal of "ten thousand steps every day", walk ten or twenty thousand steps every day, and there are a variety of walking posture, such as walking, fast walking, fast and slow combination.

But after a long time, we will find that the people who went out to walk every day gradually do not go. And always say leg pain, insomnia, dizziness and so on.

In fact, walking more than 10,000 steps a day has a certain impact on knees, blood pressure and the nervous system.

First, walking has many health benefits

Life lies in the movement, only to maintain the movement to have vitality, the body will be more healthy. Of all the forms of exercise, the most common is walking. It does not have any difficulty, also not easy to cause sports injury, is the middle-aged and elderly choose the most of a sport.

As people grow older, their joint muscles will gradually decrease, resulting in joint muscle atrophy, calcium loss and other serious problems. Walking can slow down this process, increase muscle elasticity and strength, and delay the aging of the legs.

Serious loss of calcium can cause osteoporosis. Walking can make the body produce more vitamin D, which can be absorbed by the body, and has certain benefits for osteoporosis.

Moreover, in the process of walking can exercise people's heart and lung, enhance heart and lung function, reduce chest tightness, shortness of breath and other cardiac load aggravation process. Some middle-aged and elderly people in intense exercise fainted, myocardial infarction and other problems, may be the performance of poor cardiac function, walk this kind of slow exercise, generally will not cause too much pressure on the heart.

Walking can help people maintain weight, burn off calories consumed through diet, make them participate in the metabolism of the body faster, ensure the normal functioning of the body, and reduce the chance of getting sick.

As we all know, obesity can increase the risk of blood pressure, blood lipids, heart, lungs, liver and other organs. There is a limit to how much heat the body can absorb, and excess heat will be stored in the body as fat if it cannot be consumed.

These excess heat accumulates in the body for too long, it is easy to have various lesions, which is also the reason for the higher prevalence of obese people. Walking helps the body burn calories and reduces the likelihood that they will turn into fat, which is very effective in maintaining weight.

The stomach and intestines are the most basic and important organs of the human body. Only when they function properly can the human body maintain a basic balance of income and expenditure. Walking can alleviate constipation, so that food residue in the intestine to accelerate peristalsis, the development of scientific defecation law.

The human body can normally take in food, and can normally excrete waste, circulation law, normal function, in order to maintain the health of the body.

Although there are many benefits of walking, there should be a limit to maintain the body function, do not walk too much, to bring other aspects of the body damage.

Two, the day of ten thousand steps will have what three consequences?

When walking as a way of exercise, people's physique will be enhanced, in order to maintain this effect, many people choose to walk more. Some middle-aged and elderly people force themselves to walk 10,000 or even 20,000 steps a day.

This is not advisable, everything has its limits, walking should be based on their own physical conditions, otherwise it will bring harm.

The most likely injury is the knee joint. In humans, the joints of the knees are made of cartilage, which acts as a buffer to protect the bones of the joint as it moves.

But cartilage has a lifespan, and when overused, it can become thin and even break. If this situation continues, it will affect the health of the joint bones, lead to leg pain and affect the quality of life of the patient.

Walking too much can also cause chronic fatigue. Because the PERSON IS WALKING when, nervous system IS more excited, it is to feel not tired. Once stopped, the spirit of the people relaxed down, it is easy to tire.

When the person IS IN tired state, had BETTER NOT move OR REDUCE AMOUNT OF exercise. Otherwise, it will increase fatigue and reduce the body's immunity, which is not good for your health.

Fatigue is more than just a physical sensation. It is a sign of insufficient blood and qi in the body, and a lack of function in some organs. Fatigue, which lasts for a long time, lowers the body's immunity and makes it vulnerable to certain diseases.

Therefore, when the body is tired, it is necessary to stop sports, pay attention to rest, do not force to exercise, and so on, mental and physical strength are recovered.

In general, the older you are, the less time you sleep. Daily ten thousand steps will aggravate this phenomenon, so that people's nervous system function disorder, and "sleep" is the human body cells, organs of the gas station, if not enough sleep, will harm the health of the whole body.

Walk ten thousand steps every day, it IS in excess exercise every day actually, the body will be forced to participate in the metabolism, these have certain stimulating effect to the central nervous system, bring about insomnia phenomenon.

This problem needs to reduce the number of steps to walk, the body is slightly tired to stop, to avoid dysfunction, there is no adjustment phenomenon.
