90% of diseases can be cured by walking? Japanese famous doctor Nagao Kazuo said in the "Weekly Women's PRIME" that walking is not only a good exercise for both young and old, but also can reduce the risk of diseases such as dementia, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes.
The less you walk, the more likely you are to get sick.The long-tail doctor said that he has been in medical care for 20 or 30 years. He has observed that those who walk very little are more likely to suffer from various diseases, including depression, dementia, immune-related diseases, bone retardation, and even inability to get up from bed due to weak muscles.
Studies have shown that the mortality rate will decrease with the number of walking daily, the lower the mortality rate.
The long-tailed doctors found that affecting brain age and body function is not only the actual age, but also the physical condition. Some people in their 80s often walk and live like they are in their 20s. On the contrary, if young people lack sports, their physical condition may be worse than that of the elderly.
What are the advantages of walking compared to other exercise methods compared to running and weight training?
First of all, running is a high-strength aerobic exercise. During the process, the body produces a lot of reactive oxygen species, which is one of the factors that lead to aging. Compared to walking, running is more likely to fall and get hurt, and makes the knees and heart suffer huge pressure.
Walking is a medium-strength aerobic exercise, and is safer, with less pressure on the heart, knee joints and muscles.
In addition, walking itself is actually a whole-body muscle training. It not only moves to the legs, but also trains the back, abdominal muscles and neck muscles, thereby improving posture and supporting the head.
Walking can also promote the function of the respiratory system and help prevent inhalation pneumonia commonly seen in the elderly.
Longwei doctor also pointed out that walking also has an important impact on mental health: "No matter how to encourage patients, you will always encounter people who look for various excuses, just don't want to walk." He said that people like this usually have an abstinence, depression, or have mental illness. If they are not treated in time, not only will their physical and mental state be unable to improve, but they may also have the risk of dementia.
Walking can reduce cancer riskEveryone knows that walking is good for health, do you know? Walking can also reduce the risk of cancer.
Even patients with advanced cancer, through walking training, they can find that their tumor marks have dropped by 0.05% to 0.1%, and some of them have even lived longer than expected.
The direct cause of cancer is genetic injury. There are many causes of injury, including transmission, ultraviolet light, pressure, etc. In fact, cancer cells will develop every day, but under normal circumstances, human immune cells will destroy the cancer cells on their own and further develop.
Among them, the important immune cells in the human body are the important immune cells: "NK cells", also known as natural killer cells. They can be activated through "optimal exercise", and vigorous exercise will produce excessive reactive oxygen, which can easily damage genes. Therefore, compared to running, long-tail doctors recommend that people choose walking as sports habits.
Walking is beneficial to brain healthLong tail doctors said: "Many people in their fifties and sixties have decreased their cognitive function because of lack of walking." Walking can increase blood flow in the brain and improve the sensitivity of thinking. When people suffer from dementia, the neurotransmitted substance acetyl storm in the brain will decrease, and walking can promote the secretion of acetyl storm.
Although drugs can also regulate hormones in the brain, such as dopamine, serotonin and acetyl pyridium, walking is like a natural brain health product. Many people will find that after going out, they will not only improve their mood, but also sleep better at night, because the happiness hormone in the brain is activated.
Walking can also improve chronic diseasesWalking can also have good effects on preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Most chronic diseases can be improved through life habits, especially diet and exercise.
Long-tail doctors said that taking "low-carb diet (reducing carbohydrate intake by 40%-60%), "only two meals a day" and "cultivating a habit of walking" can clearly improve diabetes.
As for adjusting blood pressure, the blood pressure value can drop by 10 to 20 after each walk for about 30 minutes. If you have constipation and troubles, you might as well try to see through the improvement of walking.
The autonomic nervous system regulates the activities of internal organs, which can be divided into sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. When constipation occurs, it means that the sympathetic nerve system is dominant, while walking can activate the parasympathetic nerve system and re-tune the function of the stomach.
Position and arm movement are more important than steps or timeAlso, people may start to think, how many steps or how long does it take to take a day to achieve the effect of preventing diseases?
For this long-term doctor, he believes that as long as he holds one principle, it is "to calculate as much as he can." Even if you just go to a nearby convenience store to buy something, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to cultivate the awareness of taking a walk and then slowly build up your habits.
The more important thing to pay attention to than the walking volume and time is actually "walking posture".
Position affects walking quality. During the process, you should keep your head and chest lifting like a model, and feel your body being tightly supported by a snail. One trick is to flex your elbows slightly and move back slightly hard, which will make your walk smoother, and help twist your pelvis, strengthen your back and abdominal muscles, and exercise tying..
If you can, it is best to walk empty-handed. You might as well invite your friends to take a walk together, or carry a dog, which will be more dynamic and pleasant.
Put on a pair of comfortable shoes and start building a walk from today!
