New Year's Day is healthy
As an experienced TCM practitioner, I am well aware of the importance of exercise for human health. But not everyone is suitable for running in all situations. As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous, and even this seemingly simple sport has its taboos and inappropriate people. Here, I will introduce you to 20 situations that are not suitable for running, and I hope to remind you to choose a reasonable exercise method according to your own conditions.
First of all, running is not suitable for women who are pregnant, or who are clinically diagnosed with pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension and placental abruption. Because running increases the burden on the pregnant woman's heart and increases the risk of fetal abnormalities. In the same way, if a pregnant woman suffers from anemia, fetal malposition and other diseases, she should not run.
Secondly, for patients with heart disease, especially those with severe heart diseases such as myocardial infarction and arrhythmia, running may lead to undesirable consequences. Because strenuous running increases the load on the heart, leading to disorders in the cardiovascular system.
Third, for people with severe respiratory diseases, such as emphysema, bronchial asthma, etc., because running will increase the burden on the respiratory system and easily lead to aggravation of the disease, it is recommended to choose other light exercise methods, such as walking, tai chi, etc.
Fourth, for people with osteoporosis, running has a greater impact on bones, which can easily lead to fractures and arthritis and other diseases. It is recommended to choose low-impact, aerobic exercises, such as swimming, yoga, etc.
Fifth, for people with lumbar spine diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis, it is easy to aggravate the condition due to the greater pressure on the lumbar spine during running. It is recommended to choose exercises with less stress on the lower back, such as water exercises, planks, etc.
Sixth, for people suffering from urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence and other diseases, running will increase the burden on the urinary system, increase the risk of disease and aggravation. It is recommended to choose light aerobic exercises, such as slow walking, tai chi, etc.
Seventh, for people with liver and kidney dysfunction, running will increase the load on internal organs, which may lead to further aggravation of the condition. It is recommended to choose the appropriate exercise method according to the specific situation of the disease.
Eighth, for people with eye diseases such as myopia and convalescence after eye surgery, it is easy to experience eye discomfort when running, and it may increase intraocular pressure. It is recommended to choose exercises with less pressure on the eyes, such as yoga, practicing eye exercises, etc.
Ninth, for people with digestive diseases, such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, etc., strenuous exercise can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and aggravate the condition. It is recommended to choose a gentler form of exercise, such as walking, tai chi, etc.
Tenth, for women during menstruation, due to the low level of estrogen in the body, running is easy to cause menstrual disorders and aggravate menstrual discomfort. It is recommended to choose light aerobic exercises, such as slow walking, yoga, etc.
In addition to the above-mentioned situations, the elderly, obese, infirm and other groups also need to carefully choose whether to run according to their physical condition.
To sum up, while running is a simple and effective form of exercise that has many benefits for physical health, it is not suitable for everyone. Depending on individual differences and the conditions of the disease, we need to be flexible in choosing the exercise method that suits us. Before doing any exercise, it is best to consult a medical professional or health manager for advice and a physical examination and assessment. Only in this way can we make the most of the positive effects of exercise while avoiding the potential risks that come with it.
