Running is good, but these 5 types of people are not suitable for running!
In the fast-paced modern life, running, as a simple and easy, aerobic exercise suitable for all ages, is deeply loved by the masses.
However, in the pursuit of health, we cannot ignore individual differences. Some people may not be suitable for running due to special health conditions or constitutions. This article will elaborate on these 5 types of people and why they should not run.
1. Those who are overweight.
For people who are overweight, running can put too much strain on their joints. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver is the main tendon and the kidney is the main bone", and excessive weight will damage the function of the liver and kidneys and affect the circulation of qi and blood in the body. At this time, it is recommended to choose low-impact exercise methods, such as brisk walking, swimming, etc., to reduce the burden on the joints. At the same time, combined with the diet and methods of traditional Chinese medicine, control weight, and then gradually resume running.
2. People with heart disease.
Running is a high-intensity exercise, and for patients with heart disease, it may increase the burden on the heart and induce symptoms such as angina pectoris and arrhythmia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the heart is the main blood vessel", and heart disease patients often have qi and blood stasis.
In the process, TCM emphasizes regulating qi and blood and improving heart function. After **, patients can gradually resume running with the advice of their doctor, but caution is still required.
3. Diabetic patients.
Diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemic reactions when they engage in high-intensity exercise such as running. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is the main movement", and most diabetic patients have spleen deficiency, resulting in insufficient qi and blood biochemistry. In the process, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes regulating the spleen and stomach and improving the body's ability to metabolize sugar. Diabetic patients can do moderate aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, tai chi, etc., under the advice of their doctors.
4. Patients with osteoporosis.
Running may increase the risk of fractures for people with osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that osteoporosis, the "main bone of the kidney", is mostly related to kidney qi deficiency and kidney deficiency.
In the process, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bones and improving bone condition. Patients with osteoporosis can do moderate weight-bearing exercises, such as weight-bearing walking, yoga, etc., under the advice of doctors. In addition, acupressure and TCM conditioning methods can also help improve osteoporosis symptoms.
5. Patients with chronic knee joint disease.
Running has a greater impact on the knee joint, which may aggravate the condition for patients with chronic knee disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver is the main tendon, the kidney is the main bone", and knee joint lesions are mostly related to liver and kidney deficiency and musculoskeletal dystrophy. In the process, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening muscles and bones, and improving knee joint function. Patients with chronic knee joint disease can carry out appropriate range of motion exercises, muscle strength training, etc. under the advice of doctors to maintain joint function. In addition, TCM methods such as massage and acupuncture can also help relieve knee pain and improve joint function.
In short, running is good, but it's not for everyone.
