Have you picked the right time of day to exercise

Life lies in sports, sports is the source of health. Long-term laziness in exercise is easy to lead to the decline of heart and lung function, body dysfunction, often accompanied by poor appetite, insomnia, constipation, obesity, immunity decline and other sub-health performance.

In addition to the scientific exercise can strengthen the body, enhance physical fitness, but also make people happy, responsive, energetic. Autumn, when the temperature is appropriate, is the most favorite season for sports, however, if the exercise time and way are not chosen properly, it will not only damage the body, but even more and more empty. So, how to carry out the movement is scientific and reasonable? Exercise also pay attention to what?

Too early exercise is bad for health

As the saying goes, "the plan of the day lies in the morning", many people get up before dawn to exercise, thinking that after the exercise of muscles and bones, they can promote Qi and blood, strengthen the body, and prepare for a busy day.

In fact, too early exercise is not good for the body. Cheng Jiehui, director of the Treatment Center of Zhuhai Hospital, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that human blood pressure ushered in the first peak from 6 to 8 in the morning, and exercise increased heart load and blood pressure, especially for patients with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is not appropriate to exercise too early.

In the morning, the sun does not rise or just rose, the plant photosynthesis is insufficient, the oxygen concentration is relatively low, and after the accumulation of urban exhaust gas overnight, the air quality is relatively poor, it is recommended to exercise after the sun rises.

In addition, the morning rise of the human body Yang, Yang is still very delicate at this time, traditional Chinese medicine believes that "movement is rising Yang", the more intense the movement of the human body Yang will be more serious, but not conducive to the rest of the Yang, so it is recommended to exercise in the morning to gentle exercise, such as walking, jogging, morning exercise, Taijiquan, etc., should not be strenuous exercise.

Is breakfast best eaten before or after exercise? In this regard, Cheng Jiehui pointed out that in the morning, fasting, blood sugar levels are low, and exercise, especially strenuous exercise, increases energy consumption at this time, which can easily lead to hypoglycemic symptoms, such as dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation, sweating, fatigue, and even syncope. However, after eating breakfast, the gastrointestinal tract enters the digestive mode, and if the exercise will affect the digestion immediately, it is not good for health. Many people struggle with whether it is better to eat breakfast before exercise or after exercise, since exercise requires a source of energy, it is definitely best to eat breakfast first. As mentioned earlier, it is not appropriate to exercise too early in the morning, if you do not get up early and eat breakfast first, exercise half an hour or 1 hour after the meal depending on the digestion.

Not sleeping at noon saps the body's energy

So is noon a good time to exercise?

Dr. Cheng Jiehui, director of Traditional Chinese Medicine, believes that traditional Chinese medicine advocates taking a nap, which means taking a rest at noon. Noon is from 11 noon to 13 p.m., during this time, Yang is the most prosperous, Yin Qi begins to emerge, and Yin and Yang Qi transfer, which is the time of combining Yang.

Nap rest can make Yin and Yang transfer smoothly, so advocate nap. Taking a nap can nourish Yang, restore physical strength, and provide energy for work and study in the afternoon. If you do not sleep at noon but exercise will inevitably consume energy, consume Yang, affect the mental state of the afternoon, and consume the body's vitality for a long time, which is not good for health.

A night of exercise?

For office workers, only at night can exercise, but I heard that "evening exercise is not sick to find a disease", is that right?

Cheng Jiehui introduced that many friends because of busy work during the day, often choose to exercise at night. Housewives have nothing to do after dinner, and often go to square dancing.

As a folk proverb goes, "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset." Evening exercise, especially strenuous exercise is not conducive to health regulation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the sun goes down at night, the human body Yang also gradually convergence hidden, gradually into the sleep stage, the so-called "Yang into Yin sleep."

Evening sports to stimulate the body's Yang, especially strenuous exercise is exciting, "Yang does not enter Yin", easy to cause insomnia. Therefore, evening exercise not only damages Yang, but also consumes Yin essence, which is not good for health in the long run.

"This is equivalent to the machine after a day of operation has been in a state of strain, at night do not shut down maintenance, but increase the horsepower to continue to operate, such a price can only be repaired in advance or scrapped."

Is it appropriate to take a proper activity after dinner, such as a walk? Cheng Jiehui believes that walking after dinner can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve digestive function, and can soothe nerves, calm tension, and is beneficial to sleep. As long as you grasp the intensity of the activity, do not be too intense.

Office workers exercise should choose the afternoon evening

For workers, there is no time to go to work during the day, and exercise is not advocated at night, so when is the right time to exercise?

Cheng Jiehui pointed out that in fact, the golden time for exercise in the day is 16:00-17:00, because after most of the day's daily work, the muscle ligaments of the human body have been fully active, heart rate and blood pressure tend to be stable, you can carry out more intense aerobic exercise, such as running, playing, swimming, equipment fitness and so on.

However, 16:00-17:00 in the afternoon is still working time, and it is impossible to exercise at this time, so it is recommended that the working family can be postponed to 17:30-18:30.

This time is in the afternoon evening stage, the sun has not gone down, still in Yang, at this time the movement not only avoids working time, but also does not affect the accumulation of Yang after sunset, and there is no conflict with dinner time, more suitable for the working family.
