There are many benefits of walking for the elderly. Let’s take a look at them below. 1. Improve adaptability It can greatly improve the labor efficiency of brain and intelligence, help change impatient personality, and enhance the ability to adapt to various environments and things. 2. Adjust your spirit It can improve the excitation, inhibition and regulation processes of the cerebral cortex, thereby eliminating fatigue, relaxing, calming and clearing the mind. 3. Maintain joint flexibility Walking is a slow and gentle exercise that can keep the joints flexible while also enhancing the tension and elasticity of the waist muscles and ligaments. It is a good way to prevent premature limb stiffness. 4. Improve body immunity Walking, as a whole-body exercise, can mobilize most of the body's muscles and bones, thereby enhancing the body's metabolic activity, developing muscles, improving blood circulation, strengthening immune function, and reducing the possibility of arteriosclerosis. 5. Improve digestion When walking, the abdominal muscles contract, breathing deepens slightly, the up and down movement of the diaphragm is strengthened, and the "massage effect" of the abdominal wall muscle movement on the gastrointestinal tract will strengthen the blood circulation of the digestive system, increase gastrointestinal motility, and improve digestion ability. 6. Beneficial to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems It can accelerate blood circulation, increase blood vessel tension, and flush away deposits on the blood vessel walls, effectively preventing various cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis. The lung ventilation volume has more than doubled compared to usual, which is beneficial to improving the function of the respiratory system. |
