Exercise health in summer solstice solar terms

It is wise to take a walk after the summer solstice. From summer to the future, it is best to take a walk in the early morning or in the cool evening. The venue should be in rivers and lakes, parks, courtyards and other places with fresh air. Those who have the conditions can go to the forest and seaside for recuperation and vacation.

Suitable sports in midsummer include swimming, walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and radio exercises, and it is not advisable to do excessive and strenuous activities. If you exercise too much, it will lead to sweating, which will not only hurt Yin Qi, but also hurt Yang Qi.

It is very important to replenish water in summer solstice exercise. In hot summer, a lot of sweating will cause dehydration of the body, affecting physiological function and exercise state. Studies have shown that if the amount of dehydration reaches 2% of body weight, the heat resistance of the body will be affected; When dehydration reaches 4%, it will affect muscle endurance; When dehydration reaches 10%, it will affect coordination ability and even make muscles spasm; The most serious situation of dehydration is to increase body temperature, circulatory failure and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to replenish water in time during exercise. After the summer solstice, when you sweat too much during exercise, you can drink light salt boiled water or mung bean brine soup properly, and you must not drink a lot of cold boiled water, not to mention punching and showering with cold water immediately, otherwise it will cause diseases such as cold-dampness arthralgia and yellow sweat.

The benefits of swimming after summer are even worse. In hot summer, swimming is the most ideal way to exercise. Compared with other sports, swimming is more valuable.

Swimming will not cause joint damage. Because water has buoyancy, all joints of the body, such as shoulder joints and knee joints, can be completely relaxed in water, and are not affected by the body's gravity.

Swimming can enhance heart function. When people swim, all organs participate in sports, which consumes a lot of energy, makes blood circulation faster, and obtains more nutrition for body organs. At the same time, the heartbeat frequency will also accelerate, making the heart contract strongly. So people who swim often have good heart function.

Swimming can lose weight quickly, and the effect of swimming is very significant. Because the human body consumes more energy than other projects when it is useful, someone once did a study that swimming for 60 minutes would reduce the weight by 250~350 grams.

Swimming promotes intellectual development. Because of the flowing characteristics of water, swimming needs to master very special and subtle movements. The process of exploring skills is actually a process in which the nervous system and muscles are fully coordinated. In this process, it will produce some benign stimulation to the nervous system. Therefore, it will be of great benefit to health to insist on exercising through swimming.
