Everyone says that exercise is good, but Professor Xu Zaichun, a retired national famous Chinese medicine doctor, does not think so, he has seen many people who have gone astray on the road of health preservation. He once said,

"There is a fool in life, and it is the most stupid to take medicine if you are not sick."

"You must exercise before the age of 40, exercise properly before the age of 50, and don't exercise and maintain more after the age of 60."

The "lazy" elderly will not do high-intensity exercise, but will choose walking, jogging, tai chi and other gentle exercises, which is actually more conducive to the health of the elderly!

The benefits of basking in the sun are numerous, but the time spent in the sun is still far from enough. Consider catching up on the sunbath when you're feeling tired. 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. are the best times to soak up the sun, when it's time to take a walk or talk on the phone while basking in the sun.

Studies from Harvard Medical School and the University of Massachusetts in the United States have shown that being in a daze is the easiest way to reduce stress. They found that when there were no distractions in the mind and nothing was in the mind, the α brain waves in the brain were strengthened.

Another study found that a moderate amount of daily duplication reduced the risk of anxiety and depression by 25%.

Going out for a "wild run" without eating breakfast or hydrating can cause blood sugar to get too low. When you wake up in the morning, the human body has more viscous blood, especially in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the risk of exercise is greater. In addition, early morning is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular disease, and high-risk groups should avoid strenuous exercise in the morning.

Studies have shown that extreme temperatures increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. One hot and one cold is the "great enemy" of the heart and brain. At present, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you must always pay attention to the weather changes and avoid excessive exercise.

The more calories the human body consumes in a day, the heavier the burden on the organs, and if you do overloaded exercise, the burden on the organs will double, and over time, it will accelerate the aging of the organs.
