In people's minds, health is a permanent wealth. Today, I will introduce the dialectical relationship of health rules to everyone. For some groups, the seven major health rules can be broken.
Rule one: High-intensity exercise is more beneficial to health than moderate-intensity exercise. Modification: If you are accustomed to sitting for long periods or want to lose weight through exercise, then this rule should be broken. Excessive exercise intensity can lead to fatigue too quickly, and the actual calorie consumption is far from reaching the weight loss requirement. Experts say that walking at a moderate speed for 30-40 minutes every day has the most noticeable weight loss effect.
Rule two: Walking is the simplest form of exercise, requiring just a pair of shoes and a path. Modification: Not suitable for heart disease patients, nor on foggy days. Fine particles in the air during heavy fog increase the risk of heart disease. Experts suggest that indoor exercise is appropriate on foggy days, and air conditioning can be turned on if necessary.
Rule three: Any sporadic movement is beneficial to health, including doing housework and gardening. Modification: Not suitable for heart disease patients. Having physical activity is better than not exercising, but activities like sweeping or weeding are insufficient in terms of exercise volume and duration to adequately exercise the heart. Experts recommend engaging in moderate-intensity exercise for half an hour, four to five times a week.
Rule four: Swimming is an ideal low-impact aerobic exercise. Modification: Not suitable for asthma patients. Chlorine in swimming pools (even outdoors) can trigger asthma attacks, and for children, it increases the risk of asthma. Experts say that children under 7 years old with asthma should avoid swimming.
Rule five: Eat more leafy greens. Modification: Patients taking blood thinners should not eat too many leafy greens. This medication prevents clot formation by blocking the activity of vitamin K in the body. If the diet contains a large amount of vitamin K, the drug will lose its protective function. Experts say that patients should consume foods rich in vitamin K no more than once a day.
Rule six: Drink at least eight cups of water daily. Modification: Not suitable for bladder disease sufferers. Reducing water intake helps prevent urine leakage. Experts say that about 20% of water is absorbed through food. If your urine color is still light after eight hours, it indicates that your water intake has met the standard.
Rule seven: The lower the blood pressure, the better. Modification: Coronary heart disease patients should break this rule. Ideal blood pressure should be around 120/80 mmHg, but it shouldn't be too low, otherwise, it may cause blood to fail to pass through narrowed vessels. A new study found that diastolic blood pressure below 70 doubles the risk of heart attack.
