New Year's Day is healthy
In recent years, with the increasing health awareness, running has become a popular form of exercise. However, as an experienced TCM practitioner, I think there is only one reason why running is not recommended: individual differences.
First of all, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, human physical factors play an important role in the choice of exercise mode. Traditional Chinese medicine divides people's constitution into different types such as yin and yang, cold and heat, and deficiency and reality, and each constitution type has different adaptability to exercise. For people with yang deficiency constitution, running will further deplete yang qi, which may lead to qi deficiency, qi stagnation and other problems. People with yin deficiency are more likely to have uncomfortable symptoms such as internal heat and dry heat. Therefore, when choosing an exercise method, the physical characteristics of the individual should be considered to avoid the adverse effects of exercise on physical health.
Secondly, there are also differences in the health status of each person. Some people may suffer from conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, where running can cause a greater impact on the joints and bones, aggravating the condition. At the same time, some people have problems such as heart disease, respiratory disease, etc., and running can aggravate the symptoms of these diseases. Therefore, for people with health problems, especially middle-aged and elderly people and people with chronic diseases, it is not recommended to do too vigorous running.
In addition, there are high requirements for the correct movement style and technique during running. Wrong running posture and excessive exercise can lead to various injuries like knee arthritis, sprains, muscle strains, etc. Especially for people who lack sports experience, it is more likely to have wrong movement patterns, increasing the risk of injury. Therefore, before choosing running as a form of exercise, you should receive guidance from a professional coach to ensure that the technique is correct, safe and reliable.
All in all, while running is a widely popular form of exercise, it's not for everyone. Individual differences are the only reason we don't recommend running. Everyone's physique, health status, and exercise experience are different, so when choosing an exercise method, it is necessary to consider various factors comprehensively and make a reasonable choice according to individual circumstances.
