Is it really good to do morning exercises in winter?

We all know that morning exercise is a very healthy sport, and many elderly people participate in morning exercise. I insist on morning exercises regardless of whether it is summer or winter. The climate is relatively cold in winter, so insisting on morning exercises is also a kind of exercise of willpower. Although we all know that morning exercise has benefits, we are not sure what the specific benefits are. Here we will introduce the benefits and precautions of morning exercises in winter.

1. Don’t get up too early

Around 4 a.m., blood viscosity is highest and fluidity is worst, making it easy for blood to clot and obstruct blood circulation. This is a time when cardiovascular diseases are more common. Therefore, it is not advisable to get up too early for morning exercises, especially for patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. They should not participate in intense and high-intensity activities during this time. If you have a habit of exercising in the early morning and don't want to change it, you should also gradually and slowly increase the amount of exercise during this time.

2. It is not advisable to exercise in the woods before sunrise.

At night, trees cannot photosynthesize and can only breathe. Everyone knows that trees exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen. After a night of breathing, the carbon dioxide content in the woods in the early morning is high, but the oxygen content is low. Therefore, exercising in the woods before sunrise will cause you to inhale more carbon dioxide, and in severe cases you may feel dizzy or even faint. Only after sunrise, when the trees begin photosynthesis, does the air quality in the forest become better and better.

3. Do not use too much strength

When you just wake up, all tissues and organs in the body are in a state of inhibition. Sudden and intense exercise will cause a sharp increase in blood flow to the muscles, which will increase the intensity and frequency of the heart's contraction. The myocardium will fatigue prematurely due to insufficient oxygen supply, resulting in chest tightness. In addition, diabetic patients should also prevent hypoglycemia caused by excessive exercise intensity.

4. Don’t be distracted

During morning exercise, if you are listening to the radio or recordings at the same time, it will affect the sustained and stable excitability of the central nervous system, cause irregular fluctuations in exercise emotions, disrupt the body's system's regulation rules, and greatly reduce the effectiveness of morning exercise.

The above article introduces some benefits and precautions of morning exercise. Morning exercises can not only exercise the body, but also enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and prevent the occurrence of diseases such as colds. At the same time, it will also have a certain regulating effect on bone hyperplasia and bone calcium loss in the elderly. Therefore, sticking to morning exercises is good for your health.
