Four taboos of walking;

1. Some people like to walk and exercise with others, talking about work while walking, complaining about grievances and worrying about things. Although I have walked thousands of meters, I still can't achieve the purpose of exercise. As the saying goes, "speaking takes a lot of energy", that is, talking too much for too long is easy to damage the essence, qi and spirit. In addition, talking too much is easy to hurt body fluids, and walking and sweating will aggravate human dehydration.

2. Some people like to talk on the phone while walking, or play mobile phone WeChat and games while walking. When people make phone calls or play mobile phones, their minds will shift to other places instead of focusing on exercise, and the exercise situation of "unity of form and spirit" will not be achieved, so the exercise effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

3. Eating fruits and vegetables while walking is an unsanitary performance, which is easy to be infected with intestinal infectious diseases. In addition, the gastrointestinal tract is constantly creeping when walking. If you eat something again, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily lead to chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Moreover, the breathing rhythm is accelerated when walking, and the "valve" is frequently opened and closed. Eating fruits and vegetables while walking makes it easy for foreign bodies to get into the airway by mistake.

4, thinking while walking, the road itself is a "labor" move, excessive exercise is easy to hurt bones and muscles; Thinking itself is a "laborious" move, and thinking is too easy to damage the spleen and stomach. If you think while walking, you will "fail at both ends" and "separate form and spirit", which will not only fail to achieve the purpose of exercise, but also aggravate the damage to your body.

5. The intensity of walking should be gradual, not too fast, and the number of steps to walk is not as good as possible. The research shows that walking 5000~ 10000 steps every day is the best exercise effect. There is no obvious difference between the exercise effect above 10000 steps and within 10000 steps, but the probability of sports injury increases.
