What are the disadvantages of too much exercise?

Many people believe that any exercise is good for the body and mind. Actually, it is not. Take running, which we are most familiar with, for example. Moderate running can exercise the body and improve our cardiopulmonary function and body coordination. However, excessive running will damage our respiratory tract and cartilage in the knee joints, which is very harmful to the body.

Experts point out that once exercise exceeds the limit, the human immune system will be damaged and lose the ability to fight disease. Modern medical research has shown that excessive or overly strenuous exercise not only puts the body's metabolism in an overly vigorous state, but also causes some physiological dysfunctions due to the body's stress, disrupting the endocrine system and cardiovascular blood supply balance - the muscles' blood and oxygen demand increases dramatically, and the blood supply to the brain and internal organs decreases accordingly, causing them to be in a state of hypoxia.

If this state lasts too long, it will cause damage to the body, increasing the wear and tear of organs and accelerating brain aging.

In fact, experts have long called on people to establish healthy consumption and fitness concepts. Exercise cannot be like eating, where you can eat one meal and skip the next. Long-term lack of exercise will harm the body, and concentrated excessive exercise is tantamount to overeating, which will also harm the body. At the same time, don’t think that you can lose weight as long as you exercise more. The latest research by sports medicine experts has found that moderate exercise can increase the concentration of lean protein in the body, which helps to control weight. If you think that the more you exercise, the more you will lose weight, you are wrong. If the intensity of exercise is too high, it will increase your appetite, making it very difficult to lose weight.

Sports medicine experts also recommend that for those who want to lose weight, exercising for half an hour to an hour, with a heart rate of about 130 to 175 beats per minute and face flushing and sweating, can be considered moderate exercise, which can increase the concentration of slimming protein. If the body temperature rises after exercise, the appetite will usually decrease, otherwise the appetite will increase. This can be used as a reference for whether the exercise is appropriate.

Moderate exercise is good for health. The editor suggests that the scientific and effective approach for office workers is to exercise 3 to 5 times a week. Baisheng coach Wang Yazhen believes that the degree of exercise considered moderate varies from person to person. For example, if a person who doesn’t like exercise and a person who exercises regularly do the same intensity exercise, the person who doesn’t exercise regularly will feel very tired, while the person who exercises regularly will not. Therefore, we should exercise according to our own situation, neither letting ourselves get overtired nor achieving the purpose of exercise.
