When it comes to fitness, many people immediately think of morning exercises in the park, dancing, Tai Chi, aerobics, going to the gym, and then swimming, playing ball, running, etc. These are of course all good fitness methods. As long as there are conditions and time, you can do what you need. In fact, walking is also a way to keep fit, but we don't pay much attention to it. It is the simplest and most economical, and can be said to be a lump-sum withdrawal for health. Nowadays, many city dwellers take private cars, taxis, and buses when they go out, for fear of walking one more step. If the pace of life is not too tight, walking can be of great benefit to us. Roughly speaking, walking has at least three major benefits for fitness. From a medical point of view, walking calmly will help you relax your muscles and strengthen your body. Cao Tingdong, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said in "Lao Lao Heng Yan": "Sitting for a long time will cause stagnation of the collaterals, while walking will relax the muscles and strengthen the body. Walking leisurely will make you energetic and strong." Walking can indeed achieve this effect, especially if you do it regularly and over a number of years. From a psychological point of view, outdoor jogging can help you eliminate all kinds of worries. American psychologist Sarah Snorlas's experimental report pointed out that people can feel refreshed just by walking with their heads held high for a while. This is because fast running can reintroduce the seventh sense of human beings, the natural instinct of movement, which should be present in life but has been lost invisibly, into life, thus making both the body and the spirit full of vitality. At the same time, exercising immediately when you are upset can divert the excitement focus of the brain, and transfer the excitement center of the brain from the left brain to the motor area of the cerebral cortex and the right cerebral hemisphere that controls spatial orientation and the cerebellum that governs the body's balance function, thereby suppressing the left cerebral hemisphere that is responsible for logical thinking and calculation of gains and losses. As a result, feelings of worry and depression will be forgotten and resolved. More importantly, once the left brain is temporarily inhibited, the brain areas that are responsible for movement, especially the right cerebral hemisphere, will not only secrete happy hormones, but also prompt the body to secrete hormones that are originally lacking in the brain's nervous system, making people feel refreshed. |
