I'm here to send health
As the elderly age, the physical function of the elderly will decline to a certain extent, and reasonable exercise has become particularly important to maintain good health. However, how to choose a suitable exercise time for you is a problem that many elderly people are not very clear. Nutritionists pointed out that the scientific selection of exercise time can effectively improve the effect of exercise, reduce the risk of exercise, and promote the health of the elderly.
First, let's take a look at the window of time for seniors to exercise. According to research, the best time for older adults to exercise is in the morning and evening. Exercising in the morning can increase the body's metabolic rate, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and benefit the mental state of the day. Exercising in the evening can relieve the stress of the day and help improve sleep quality.
However, it's not enough to know the time window for exercising, we also need to know some dry tips for exercising. Here are some exercise recommendations for seniors:
1.Warm-up exercises: Be sure to do a thorough warm-up before committing to a formal workout. Due to the decline in physical function of the elderly, the joints are relatively stiff, and warm-up exercises can effectively prevent sports injuries.
2.Moderate exercise: Exercise for the elderly should be based on the principle of moderation to avoid physical injuries caused by excessive exercise. In general, 30-60 minutes of moderate exercise 3-5 times a week is appropriate.
3.Targeted exercise: Choose the exercise method that suits you according to different physical conditions. For example, older people with better cardiopulmonary function can choose aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, etc.; Elderly people with better range of motion can choose yoga, tai chi, etc.
4.Insist on exercising: Only by insisting on exercising for a long time can you receive good exercise results. The elderly should learn to arrange exercise time reasonably, integrate exercise into daily life, and make it a habit.
5.Pay attention to safety: When exercising, pay attention to the safety of the sports venue and avoid exercising in crowded and uneven places. At the same time, according to your physical condition, choose the appropriate exercise intensity and avoid excessive exercise.
6.Eat right: While exercising, you should also pay attention to a reasonable diet. The elderly should focus on light, easy-to-digest food, and appropriately increase the intake of protein, vitamins and minerals to supplement the energy needed for exercise.
7.Monitor your physical condition: During exercise, you should learn to monitor your physical condition, and if you feel unwell, you should stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention in time.
In short, the scientific choice of exercise time for the elderly can not only improve the exercise effect, but also reduce the risk of exercise and ensure physical health. In the process of exercise, it is necessary to pay attention to warm-up exercises, moderate exercise, targeted exercise, consistent exercise, pay attention to safety, reasonable diet and monitor physical condition. Only in this way can the elderly enjoy the joy of health while exercising.
In addition, in order to better meet the exercise needs of the elderly, China is also actively promoting the development of sports for the elderly. For example, activity centers for the elderly have been set up in many communities to provide exercise venues such as tai chi and yoga. Regularly hold sports meetings for the elderly to stimulate their enthusiasm for sports. Through these initiatives, we hope that every senior can find a way to exercise and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
Finally, I wish all the seniors a healthy and happy day in their workout!
