Is it okay to run at noon?

Around us, we can often see many people running in various places in the morning and evening. Running is an exercise that is very beneficial to our health and can promote body circulation. Especially jogging, which often helps promote our body's digestion and enhances our resistance. Therefore, it is very beneficial to run more when you have nothing to do. So, is running at noon also good for our health?

Any amount of physical activity will make you feel good. The minimum amount of physical activity to prevent disease is at least 30 minutes a day. For those who can measure their energy expenditure, a daily energy expenditure of 150 calories is a good goal. However, activities that don't measure calorie consumption can also be beneficial to your health. The measurement method is very simple, that is, more than half an hour of physical activity or sports exercise every day. This meant walking two bus stops in the morning and another 10 minutes on the way home. 10 minutes of house cleaning and 10 minutes of bike riding. Or play basketball or dance for 30 minutes with your siblings, friends, or children.

If you want to increase the intensity of your physical activity, you can add a few minutes to your activity time each day or gradually increase the pace of your walks or other activities. Of course, half an hour of activity time is only the minimum recommended amount. Of course, the more time you spend being active, the greater the health benefits.

Experts put forward four suggestions for winter fitness:

1. It is best to spend your exercise time

The time is set at 5 or 6 in the afternoon after dinner. During routine interviews, the reporter noticed that in squares, parks and other exercise venues in some cities in Gansu, many people braved the cold every morning to practice Tai Chi, jogging, etc.

It is not impossible to do morning exercises in winter, but because it is generally colder in the morning, and the trees in the park also need to metabolize, expel carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen, which causes the carbon dioxide content in the air to increase. Therefore, winter mornings are not the best time to exercise.

If you exercise after dinner at around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, the temperature is relatively high and the carbon dioxide content in the air is lower, it will also help relieve fatigue after a day's work. Dr. Xu Xiuzhen said that when exercising in the afternoon, it is best not to eat too much for dinner. At the same time, you should exercise moderately and not exceed your body's ability to bear. For the elderly, walking is a better choice.

2. Try to exercise outdoors in places with plenty of oxygen. It’s cold in winter, and many people like to exercise in indoor places such as gyms and swimming pools. Dr. Xu Xiuzhen said that the air quality in winter is already poor, and it is even worse in crowded places indoors. If you are not undergoing professional training, it is best to choose the right time to exercise outdoors in a place with plenty of oxygen and fresh air.

3. Develop regular work and rest habits. Many people are used to sleeping in the morning in winter, and staying up late at night when they are in good spirits. Due to irregular life and lack of exercise, the body's resistance is reduced. Not only is the mind unclear at work, but it is also easy to get sick. In this regard, Dr. Xu Xiuzhen said that it is necessary to develop regular work and rest habits and exercise regularly, which can not only ensure that you are energetic but also enhance your resistance.

4. Develop a regular diet for three meals a day. Dr. Xu Xiuzhen believes that the saying "eat well in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat less at night" has certain scientific basis. After breakfast, you will carry out a day's activities, so you must ensure nutrition; since the physical and mental labor during the day consumes a lot of energy, you must eat enough at noon; after dinner, you need to rest and the amount of digestion is reduced, so you can eat less appropriately.
