What are the benefits of mountain climbing?

Experts say that mountaineering not only provides good physical exercise, but also helps us spiritually and psychologically, broadening our minds. Mountain climbing is an outdoor lifestyle that is very suitable for urban people. There are many benefits of mountain climbing. Mountain climbing can not only relax tense emotions, but also exercise the body. Let’s take a look at the specific benefits of mountain climbing.

1. The simplest way to treat myopia is to look into the distance as much as possible and relax the eye muscles. However, due to factors such as industrial pollution and urban heat island effect in cities, there are more suspended particles in the air and visibility is poor. In the mountains, especially on top of a mountain, you can look into the distance and relieve fatigue of your eye muscles.

2. The area of ​​virgin forests and grasslands in the mountains is far beyond the reach of green spaces and flowers in the city. Therefore, walking in the mountains is very beneficial for improving lung ventilation, increasing lung capacity, and improving lung function, while also enhancing the heart's contraction ability.

3. The mountain roads are bumpy and uneven. Walking through them is beneficial to improving the body's balance function and enhancing the coordination of the limbs, especially walking on non-step sections that have not been artificially modified. It can thicken the body's muscle fibers, develop muscles, and enhance limb flexibility.

4. Sugar metabolism in people's daily body belongs to aerobic metabolism. Mountaineering activities, especially mountain climbing, due to the thin air, most of the body's metabolism is converted to anaerobic metabolism. In addition, mountaineering and camping activities involve a lot of exercise, and picnics in the mountains are often difficult to meet the body's calorie needs. Therefore, it can consume a large amount of fat tissue accumulated in the human body, especially the fat tissue in the waist and abdomen.

5. The normal metabolism of the human body produces a harmful substance called free radicals, which can damage human cell membranes, dissolve normal human cells, cause aging and even mutation of human tissues. Oxygen negative ions can effectively combine with free radicals and expel them from the body. According to relevant data, the unit content of negative oxygen ions on city streets is only 100 to 300, while it can reach tens of thousands in mountain forests. Therefore, walking and camping in the mountains can effectively eliminate harmful free radicals and help delay aging.
