What are the benefits of cycling?

It is a very happy thing to have a bicycle of your own. When you were in high school, it was also a happy thing that the person you liked rode your bicycle to take you around to play. When you were in college, you could see people riding bicycles on the road at any time. Bicycles have been with us since we were young. As the environment is getting worse and worse, riding a bicycle is a manifestation of environmental protection. There is no exhaust gas, which protects our planet. But besides being low-carbon and environmentally friendly, what other benefits does bicycles have for people? Let’s take a look at it slowly.

(1) It can prevent brain aging and improve the agility of the nervous system. The results of modern sports medicine research show that cycling is a heterolaterally dominated sport. Alternating pedaling with both legs can develop the functions of the left and right sides of the brain at the same time, preventing premature aging and neglect.

(2) It can improve cardiopulmonary function, exercise lower limb muscle strength and enhance overall endurance. Cycling has the same endurance training effect on internal organs as swimming and running. This exercise not only benefits three pairs of joints and 26 pairs of muscles in the lower limbs: hip, knee, and ankle, but also works the muscles in the neck, back, arms, abdomen, waist, groin, and buttocks. The joints and ligaments also get corresponding exercise.

(3) It can help you lose weight. When riding a bicycle, due to the periodic aerobic exercise, the exerciser consumes more calories and can achieve significant weight loss effects.

(4) Can improve sexual function. Cycling 4-5 kilometers every day can stimulate the secretion of estrogen or androgen in the human body, enhance sexual ability, and contribute to the harmony of sexual life between couples. ·

(5) It can prolong life. According to survey statistics from relevant international committees, postmen have the longest life expectancy among all kinds of people in different professions in the world. One of the reasons is that they often ride bicycles when delivering letters.

(6) Bicycling is one of the best tools for overcoming heart problems. More than half of the world's population dies from heart disease. Cycling not only compresses blood flow through leg movements and draws energy from the blood vessel ends back to the heart, but it actually strengthens the microvascular tissue at the same time. This is called "collateral circulation." Strengthening your blood vessels can protect you from the threats of aging and keep you forever young.

Cycling can not only help you lose weight, but also shape your body, making it more symmetrical and more attractive. Generally, people who diet to lose weight may have problems such as sagging skin, but cycling can not only help you lose weight, but you don't have to worry about these problems. I believe that the muscles you have stretched and the slender ankles developed from cycling will definitely be more attractive than the sagging caused by dieting.
