Men and women in autumn must master the "degree"

Appropriate exercise can not only regulate lung qi and improve the function of lung organs, but is also the focus of health preservation in autumn. But there are also things to be aware of when exercising. We all know that we don’t like to move in the hot summer, but we should start moving in the fall. It’s a question of how much you should exercise. It’s not the case that the more you exercise, the better…

1. Pay attention to hydration and avoid autumn dryness

The climate is dry in autumn. For athletes, they should eat more foods that nourish yin, moisten the lungs, replenish fluids and promote body fluid production after each exercise, such as pears, sesame seeds, honey, white fungus, etc. If you sweat a lot, you can supplement with some salt water in appropriate amounts. The principle is to drink small amounts, multiple times and slowly.

2. Pay attention to safety and avoid injury

In autumn, the temperature drops and it is often cloudy and rainy. In this environment, the body's blood vessels will constrict and joint mobility will weaken, which can easily cause damage to the muscles, joints, and ligaments. Experts remind that before each exercise, you must do sufficient warm-up exercises. The length and content of the warm-up may vary from person to person. Generally, it is better to make the body slightly warm.

3. Be careful not to overdo it

Autumn is a good season for exercise, but at this time because the body's yin essence and yang are in the stage of convergence and nourishment, exercise should also conform to this principle, that is, the amount of exercise should not be too large to prevent excessive sweating and depletion of yang. Exercise should choose easy and gentle aerobic exercises that do not require much activity. These exercises can not only strengthen the body, but also prevent the occurrence of diseases such as cancer.

4. Be careful not to catch a cold

The temperature is low in the early morning in autumn, so you should not wear light clothes when going outdoors. You should add or remove clothes according to the changes in outdoor temperature. When exercising, you should not take off too many clothes at once. You should wait until your body is warm before taking off too much clothes. After exercise, you should avoid staying in cold wind in sweat-soaked clothes to prevent catching a cold.

V. Other matters needing attention

The average person absorbs 4 to 7 liters of oxygen per minute when at rest, and this can reach more than 100 liters during exercise. As the human body absorbs more oxygen and breathes faster, it can inhale more negative oxygen ions. After the human body obtains the negative oxygen ions, because they are negatively charged and have excess electrons, they can provide the electrons that cells lack and eliminate free radicals, thereby blocking the vicious cycle. Cancer cells can be prevented or inhibited. In addition, through gas exchange, some carcinogens can be excreted from the body, reducing the incidence of cancer.

It has been determined that muscle heat production during exercise is 10 to 15 times higher than when at rest, causing a temporary increase in body temperature. During strenuous exercise, body temperature can rise to 40°C or even higher. Cancer cells are far less tolerant to heat than normal cells and are easily killed, especially during the DNA synthesis period of mitosis.

Negative oxygen ions can enhance the function of the mononuclear phagocyte system, increase the antibody content in the blood, improve the body's nonspecific immune function, and prevent the occurrence of cancer.
