How exercise can lower blood lipids

We all know that once people get older, their bodies are prone to problems, such as problems with blood lipids and blood pressure. Exercise plays a good role in preventing and treating dyslipidemia. As long as we can persist in exercising, it can keep our body in a healthy state, which is very important. So, how can exercise help lower blood lipids? Let’s take a look at exercises that can lower blood lipids.

1. Walking, jogging, alternating walking and running, cycling, going up and down stairs, climbing, swimming, rowing, skating, skiing, roller skating, and other fitness exercises that require a certain period of time are all endurance exercises. Endurance exercise can bring about beneficial changes in blood lipids. After exercise, the total cholesterol level of athletes decreases by an average of 0.26mmol/L, the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level decreases by an average of 0.13mmol/L, and the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level increases by an average of 0.03mmol/L.

2. When jogging, you should keep your head up, chest out, and abdomen in, look straight ahead, relax your shoulders, bend your elbows to about 90 degrees, and swing your arms back and forth on both sides of your body with the rhythm of running. When landing, the sole of the foot should touch the ground first, followed by the entire foot. As you run faster and take longer steps, you should also swing your arms wider.

3. When brisk walking, you need to raise your head, chest and abdomen, look straight ahead, relax your shoulders, bend your elbows to about 90 degrees, and swing your arms back and forth on both sides of your body in rhythm with your steps. When landing, your heels should touch the ground first, followed by the entire foot. The faster you walk and the longer your steps are, the wider the swing of your arms should be.

4. Climb for fitness purposes, not for competition. Be careful not to climb too fast to avoid damaging your knee joints. When going uphill, the center of gravity of the body should be moved forward and the steps should not be too big. When going downhill, you should also pay attention to controlling the speed not to be too fast.

5. Riding a bicycle When riding a bicycle, you do not have to bear your own weight, and the burden on your knees is less during exercise. Therefore, it is also a more suitable exercise to lower blood lipids.

6. Play tennis with your friends for fitness purposes instead of competition, or hit the ball against the wall by yourself without a partner. This type of tennis sport that can be sustained for a long time is also an exercise that can lower blood lipids.

Now people's living standards have greatly improved, and they all hope to live longer, especially the elderly who are prone to diseases. After understanding how exercise can lower blood lipids, we should pay attention to doing more physical exercise in our daily life. It is also helpful for other aspects of health and can reduce the chance of physical problems. This is very important.
