As the saying goes, “Walk a hundred steps after meals and live to ninety-nine.” Walking is good for the operation of qi and blood, and is a suitable physical exercise for middle-aged and elderly people. The ancients also have some sayings about walking, which I will share with readers. The “old old constant” on walking has the following sayings: 1. the benefits of walking: walking can soothe the veins, grow foot strength and healthy limbs. The book says “practice of both long, step can gradually to a thousand, and increase foot strength.” “Step main tendons, step is tendons Shu and limbs healthy, lazy step is tendon contracture, tendon contracture increasingly lazy, even the exhibition of the number of wu, it is bitter and lack of gas, it is difficult to avoid the disadvantages of sitting for a long time to hurt the meat.” 2. need to walk after a meal, “after the meal food stop stomach, must slowly walk hundreds of steps to disperse its gas to lose in the spleen, it is easy to grind stomach decay.” Walking is good for digestion, why? Later said “Lihai set” said: the spleen and stomach are both of the soil, soil plowing hoe to reproduce, do not move for the desolate soil. Therefore, the step so move. Luang Huan Ji” said: the ancient old man, after a meal will walk, want to shake its body to eliminate food also. Therefore, later people to walk for free.” The ancients are happy to walk for health, how can we lag behind? 3. the method of walking: from the calm exhibition step. Walking, loose and unrestrained that is, and walk and stand, and stand and walk, must have a leisurely and free attitude. “Walking, is a health exercise, we do not pursue fast, do not pursue far, we just need to be comfortable. As long as their own body and mind to get pleasure, at will, is not a dazzling and happy? The body and mind are relaxed, all the diseases also go. 4. walking precautions: ① elderly people are weak, walking if you want to go far away from the place, you need to estimate their own physical strength, do not force, if possible, you can “order a boat to follow, step out can boat back”. Now we can go out for a walk in the park, and when we are tired, we can take a cab or a bus home, but it is better to plan a good trip. ②When walking, do not talk to others. If you want to talk, you must stop, otherwise you will lose your breath. The reason is that walking dissipates qi and blood, and opens the mouth to dissipate the body’s qi, so the qi is dissipated, and the elderly have weak qi and blood, so they should try to preserve their qi, so they should talk less. The ancients taught us that the elderly should always take a walk after meals, as they please, do not force the activity, especially like the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or try not to be exposed to the cold air in the winter morning. Take a walk, health with permanent!
