How to keep fit and healthy for men in spring

　　The first step to fitness: get outside

　　Spring pays attention to protecting the liver. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors tell us that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), and spring belongs to wood among the five elements. The five internal organs of the human body, "heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys," correspond to the five elements. Therefore, the liver also belongs to wood, and the physical properties of the liver and wood are consistent.

　　Therefore, having more contact with nature and welcoming the warm sunshine in spring will help improve liver function and overall physical and mental health. healthy The benefits are considerable. So spring sports are outdoors first.

　　The second step of fitness: time and weather are crucial

　　We often have this misconception: every morning exercise is the best. However, studies by many scientists have shown that evening is the best time of day for exercise, especially outdoor exercise.

　　Studies have shown that within a day, the content of platelets in the human body changes regularly. The amount of platelets in the afternoon and evening is about 20% lower than in the morning, and the blood viscosity is reduced by 6%. In the morning, it is easy to cause problems such as poor blood circulation and heart attack, but after the afternoon, this risk is much lower. And in the evening, the human body has gone through most of the day's activities, responds best to exercise, absorbs the largest amount of oxygen, and the effects of exercise are more obvious.

　　The third step in fitness: warm up before exercise

　　Physical exercise in spring must be scientific. Before getting into the actual exercise, the most basic thing is to do some preparatory activities.

　　Winter brings us not only cold but also stiffness: the functions of various organs of the body, such as internal organs and muscles, are at a low level, and bones and ligaments are even more stiff. Bending the body rashly, kicking the toes high, or even twisting the waist or skipping rope can easily cause sports injuries. Especially before engaging in strenuous exercise, "warm-up exercise" is indispensable. This is to prevent muscle and bone damage.

　　The fourth step of fitness: Just sweat is enough

　　People always think that the more you sweat, the better the exercise effect, but this is not the case. When the temperature is suitable, sweating definitely has a good exercise effect. However, the temperature in spring is still cooler than in summer. Excessive sweating can easily cause the pores to expand, and the cold and damp air can take the opportunity to invade the body, which can easily cause the body to catch cold. cold , thereby inducing respiratory disease , the consequences can be serious.

　　As long as you can persist in doing aerobic exercise for 30 minutes each time, 3 times a week, or 2 times a day, 15 minutes each time, such as walking, climbing, rope skipping, jogging, outdoor gymnastics, etc., it is a good way to exercise in spring.
