Walking helps health, but do you know that "time of walking" will also affect the effect, or even be safe? Dr. Yukiri Aoyana from the Institute of Health and Health Center of Tokyo pointed out that evening is the most suitable time to take a walk, which can improve sleep quality and reduce disease risks. On the contrary, "within 30 minutes after getting up" movement is a high-risk period of cardiac development such as myocardial infarction and must be avoided.

Can't sleep well? Walking in the evening can help sleep

Dr. Qingliu, according to the "Study of the Middle Way" of more than 20 years and spanning 5,000 people, pointed out that walking in the evening can promote blood flow, increase body temperature, create a natural feeling of fatigue, and help fall asleep. When the human body falls asleep, it needs to gradually decrease from high body temperature. If the body temperature is increased by movement in advance, it can successfully start the sleeping mechanism.

When the heart disease is cured, you should avoid it. Many people like to get up early in the morning and go out to walk or golf. However, Dr. Qingliu warned that within 30 minutes after getting up, the body's temperature is low and the self-disciplined nerve has not yet been converted from parasympathetic nerves to sympathetic nerves. In addition, the body is in a state of mild water loss, which is the peak period of heart disease. During this period of time, intense or exhausting movement may increase the risk of sudden death.

The early morning discharge + sympathetic nerve has not yet started, which is a double risk.

According to research, after getting up, most of the human body is in the state of reflux. Even if the water is immediately replenished, it will take 30 minutes to be absorbed into the body by the tract. In addition, the transformation of the neural system has not been completed, so it is recommended to start the activity after getting up at least 30 minutes and replenish enough water.

Can't take a walk in the evening? It is recommended to exercise "after meals" during the day. For those who cannot exercise in the evening due to work and other factors, Dr. Aoiyao suggests that you can choose to take a walk after breakfast and lunch, which not only avoids dangerous periods, but also helps to inhibit the rise in blood sugar after meals and helps prevent diabetes.

"Walking in the right time is more important than walking." Dr. Yukiri Aoyana emphasized that simple things are like walking, and you can also achieve the greatest health benefits through time selection.
