In recent years, with the improvement of health awareness, people have paid more and more attention to health preservation. Among them, "walking 10,000 steps a day", as a common way of health preservation, has attracted people's attention. However, there is some controversy about whether it is scientific health preservation.
1. Clarify the meaning of "10,000 steps a day".
In general, walking 10,000 steps a day is considered the standard for maintaining good health. The concept originated in Japan and was first proposed by a health device manufacturer. Through their research, they found that walking 10,000 steps a day can effectively improve physical health. As a result, "walking 10,000 steps a day" has gradually become a way of health preservation and has been widely promoted.
Second, scientific research is not finishedWe all support the idea of "walking 10,000 steps a day" as a scientific health preservation
A study conducted by Stanford University in the United States found that walking 10,000 steps a day did not significantly improve cardiovascular health.
The researchers observed 10,000 participants and found no clear correlation between walking 10,000 steps a day and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The results of this study have raised questions about the "10,000 steps a day" approach to wellness.
3. Why "10,000 steps a day" cannot be scientifically healthy
First of all, walking 10,000 steps is not a standard that applies to everyone. Everyone's physical condition and Xi are different, so the way of maintaining a health regimen should also vary from person to person.
For some people with poor physical fitness, walking 10,000 steps can cause excessive fatigue and even other health problems. Second, walking 10,000 steps does not improve overall physical health.
In addition to exercise, aspects such as diet, sleep, and mental health are equally important. Only by taking these factors into account can we achieve true scientific health preservation.
However, although "walking 10,000 steps a day" is not the only way to maintain health scientifically, it cannot completely deny its role. Moderate exercise is beneficial for good health.
According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week can effectively improve cardiovascular health, enhance immunity, etc. Therefore, walking 10,000 steps can be used as a simple and easy form of exercise to help people reach this goal.
Fourth, the limitations of the "10,000 steps a day" health regimen
Modern people's lifestyles are diverse, and many people sit in the office for a long time and lack exercise. For this group of people, walking 10,000 steps is not enough. They need a more comprehensive form of exercise, such as aerobic exercise, strength training, etc., to achieve better health outcomes.
Summary: As a health regimen, "10,000 steps a day" is not a standard applicable to everyone, although there is a certain degree of science. We should choose a health regimen that suits us according to our physical condition and Xi habits.
In addition, wellness is not only about exercise, but also about diet, sleep, mental health, etc. Only by taking these factors into account can we achieve true scientific health preservation. Therefore, we should keep abreast of relevant knowledge, abandon all unscientific health concepts, and maintain health in a scientific way.
