Sitting posture has become our most commonly used posture. It is accompanied by health risks, strain and even pain caused by sitting for a long time. In fact, walking is the most basic human posture. In a larger sense, we have moved from ancient times to modern civilization, one step at a time; To a small extent, walking is one of the best aerobic exercises and has many benefits for health. There are many advantages of walking. Let's look at them in detail today. There must be something you don't know.

1. The benefits of walking are widely publicized

01 Exercise muscles

It is the principle of muscle cells to use, discard and retreat. The body will not waste energy to produce, support and manage any muscle cells that do not contribute to the body. When the muscle bears regular and moderate pressure and tension, it has meaning for the body. Therefore, the muscles of sedentary people will change, and inactive muscles will begin to accumulate fat, which is one of the reasons for sedentary obesity.

Walking is a kind of movement in which nerves, muscles and bones all cooperate with each other. It requires rapid coordination of brain and nerve activities, and contraction and relaxation of muscle groups in order. Each leg of a person has at least 10 muscles, which are attached to the hard bone through tendons. Walking seems simple, but it calls on all muscles. Don't forget that the heart is also a muscle, and it will be used during walking.

※ Recommended walking method: just walk

02 Improve cardiopulmonary function

Walking is good for the heart and lungs. In addition to the above, the heart itself is a muscle. Muscle strength can be exercised, and the overall heart and lung function can be improved.

Compared with being still, walking requires more oxygen. Therefore, the functions of the heart, lungs and blood vessels will be fully mobilized to improve blood circulation. The intensity of fast walking is slightly higher than walking, and the exercise effect is more significant. It can accelerate the heart rate and improve the vital capacity.

※ Recommended walking method: fast walking.

03 Improve brain creativity

A mysterious contradiction: We study and work at a desk, and need our brain to continuously provide creativity. Sitting indoors for a long time just can't promote this. Going out for a walk can effectively help our brain.

At the simplest level, walking can effectively promote the switching between different states of consciousness. When we retrieve memories, the activated brain system is located near the hippocampus, as well as many structures connected to it - the extended hippocampus. When you are walking, running and looking for directions in a certain environment, the extended hippocampus will also be activated. Such a brain system supports two related functions: situational memory and spatial navigation. When more remote areas of the brain are driven by walking, unformed ideas in the subconscious are more likely to be combined in new ways.

While walking, you can talk with yourself, talk with others loudly, or just listen to music, audio books or radio. The advantage of walking with people is that you can exchange information and integrate it into your memory, thoughts and feelings.

An experiment on creativity shows that people who walk generate many times more ideas than people who sit, and the output is continuous and stable. "Walking allows free flow of ideas", and promotes creative cognition in a unique way: not only the stimulation of the natural environment, but also the remote connection between different brain regions.

It is worth mentioning that fast walking takes more effort and requires more sustained attention to avoid falling down and running unconsciously. Therefore, walking at a normal speed rather than fast walking can stimulate creative thinking.

That is to say, when we have been thinking hard for a long time and our thoughts are blocked, we should choose to leave our desks, leave the computer screen, walk around and go to the outdoor environment to activate our brains and generate new, pioneering and creative ideas.

※ Recommended walking method: walk at normal speed.

04 Emotion

If you stay in an indoor closed space for a long time while doing high-pressure work, it is easy to lead to depression, depression and other negative emotions. The way of self healing is simple: go out for a walk.

Current experiments and studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between walking and emotion. Walking is also used as one of the interventions for patients with depression. Another interesting study found that lack of exercise is related to personality changes, and it is getting worse. Low level of physical activity will lead to poor openness, extraversion and affinity among personality factors. Even the slightest movement will ease this negative change.

Walking to improve mood is more recommended in the natural environment. A new study has found that walking, especially walking regularly in the natural environment, can make people feel better. Other studies have found that this unconscious contact with nature may reduce the risk of depression when passing the trees on both sides of the road. The experimental results of this study prove that the higher the density of trees planted within 100 meters around the home, the lower the risk of depression.

I believe you will also have this experience. In a sunny afternoon, you will want to go out for a walk. Even though it was hard to walk in bad weather, I still got a pleasant feeling and a sense of fullness in the end.

※ Recommended walking method: walk in nature.

In addition, there are many benefits of walking, such as:

Help lose weight

Strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis

develop immunity from disease

Improve sleep

Helps control blood sugar

……

At this time, you may say that I understand the truth, but it is difficult to adhere to it for a long time, and I will forget when I am busy. Here are some tips to help you keep going.

2. How to urge yourself to walk more?

tips 1 Set goals

Be prepared for everything. First, set the goal of daily steps, such as 8000 steps on weekdays and 10000 steps on weekends. The advantage of this is that you have a clear goal for your daily walk and encourage yourself to walk more.

Sports health APP can help you. Open the "Health" homepage, click the step number circle above to enter the step number card, and then you can set the goal of daily steps.

tips 2 Record walking results

The number of steps taken every day can be viewed in the sports health app. The total number of steps in a week/month/year forms a chart, which is clearly visible.

When our walking achievements become visible and our daily efforts and persistence are visible, we not only get a sense of achievement from them, but also have greater confidence in the next stage of walking plan, forming a virtuous circle.

tips 3 Change route and environment

It's boring to walk along the same route all the time. Several different routes can be set up for each destination in advance, such as going home from the company, leaving the station from another subway station and walking home; Or choose a road with a park and so on.

Change the scenery along the way, let each walk have a little surprise, and unconsciously walk more than usual, and feel more happy.

tips 4 Find partners in the same industry

"One can walk very fast, and travel together can go further". Walk and talk with friends or family side by side, so that the walking road is no longer boring, but also encourage each other, making the walking journey farther and better.

Walking seems to be the most ordinary exercise, but it has extraordinary benefits. Just like our seemingly dull days, there is also a shining light.

The road to health is one step at a time. Now get up and walk.
