6 benefits of riding a bicycle in summer

The editor learned to ride a bicycle when he was young, but since he saw himself and his bicycle fall into a ditch when he was 10 years old, he never dared to touch it again. But from today on, I decided to pick up my bike again, because cycling is really good for the body!

1. Strengthen blood vessels

Bicycling is one of the best tools for overcoming heart problems. More than half of the world's population dies of heart disease. Cycling not only compresses blood flow through leg movements and draws energy from blood vessel endings to the heart, but it actually strengthens 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.

2. It is the simplest exercise

Some people don't like going to the gym, maybe because of time constraints or maybe because of laziness. Then cycling is the best choice. Riding a bike to the office or school not only gives you exercise, but also keeps you from getting bored. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.

3. Can be decompressed

When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins. This substance relaxes the mind and body. The human body also releases endorphins when cycling, which can reduce stress, relax the mood, and ultimately make people happy.

4. Get some sunlight and supplement vitamin D

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for the human body. People in modern society are always sitting at home or in the office, and their opportunities and time to be exposed to sunlight are becoming less and less. A lack of vitamin D may lead to cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Cycling for 20 minutes to half an hour every morning can ensure that the body absorbs enough vitamin D.

5. Stay in shape

Bicycles are a tool for losing weight. According to statistics, a person weighing 75 kilograms can lose half a kilogram of weight by riding 73 miles at a speed of 9.5 miles per hour, but he must persist in doing so every day.

6. Accelerate blood circulation

In fact, because cycling compresses blood vessels, blood circulation is accelerated, and the brain takes in more oxygen, so you breathe in more fresh air. Although there are countless benefits of cycling, the editor still recommends that men ride bicycles less, because cycling will compress the perineum, affect local blood circulation, cause genital discomfort, and even cause prostatitis and "impotence". Therefore, if male friends like to ride bicycles, they must adjust the seat, buy the most comfortable bicycle, and take a rest after riding for a period of time to better ensure their health.
