HẠ MÂY (T/H) |

People over 65 years old walking properly is one of the exercises that prolong life.

Don't walk too much

All physical activities are limited and so is walking. If you walk too much, beyond the body's endurance, the knee joint is not only unprotected but also susceptible to damage, leading to arthritis and accelerating the aging process of joints.

When you feel pain in your legs, knee pain or fatigue that cannot continue, it is a sign that your body has reached its limit. At this time, you should stop and rest to avoid further damage to the joints.

Each person should maintain about 6,000 steps of walking a day with moderate enough intensity to sweat slightly. People over 65 years old should pay attention to their cardiopulmonary health, it is best not to let the heart rate exceed 120 beats/minute while walking.

Going on the right track, follow your own rhythm

If you love walking, you can choose the right time before or after a meal. However, people with high blood pressure should not walk on an empty stomach in the morning because they are prone to hypoglycemia or low blood pressure.

In addition, walking posture is also very important. Do not bend or count your back, as this puts pressure on your spine and neck, easily causing degeneration or height reduction later. When walking, keep your back straight, head and neck on the same axis as your spine, your body is naturally relaxed, which is the best walking position.

People with cervical vertebrae can also improve their condition if they maintain the correct posture when walking. Avoid carrying heavy objects on your back, as this will increase pressure on the knees, causing damage to the joints. Let your knees relax as you move.
