Yesterday, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Hangzhou released a set of data: 20 1 1 year, and 85.07% of the total deaths in Hangzhou were due to chronic diseases.
This means that chronic diseases closely related to unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, alcoholism, unreasonable diet and lack of activities have become the enemy of public health. By the end of 20 1 1, the top five causes of death in Hangzhou were malignant tumor, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, heart disease and injury poisoning.
The simplest and most effective way to resist chronic diseases is to walk. Yesterday morning, downtown Hangzhou was engaged in activities to teach citizens to "walk". Healthy people walk at least 4000 steps every day. Did you do it? If you can't walk for a long time, please see the picture on the right. Experts also converted the amount of exercise for cycling, mopping the floor and doing housework. Is it up to standard?
Walking 4000 steps a day is a pass, which young white-collar workers can hardly reach.
On-site experts told reporters that there is a simple standard to measure our amount of exercise, that is, walking.
It is generally believed that a person walking 4000 steps a day is the basic amount of exercise. In order to promote health and prevent various chronic diseases, the standard should be raised to 7000 steps.
For example, 4000 steps is the passing line, 7000 steps is excellent, and if it reaches 10000 steps, it is excellent.
"The pace of ordinary adults is generally about 70 centimeters, and 4,000 steps is equivalent to 2.8 kilometers. That is, the starting price of taxis is similar. Don't underestimate this 2.8 kilometers, many people can't walk. And 7000 steps is 4.9 kilometers, and more people can't get there. " Experts from the Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control of Hangzhou CDC explained this.
The reporter randomly asked several citizens at the scene of Zhao Hui Park in Hangzhou. Aunt Gu, who lives in the second district, is a Latin dancer. She exercises in Zhao Hui Park every morning. How many steps can she jump in a day? Aunt Gu said that it takes 7000 steps a day. "If I am interested, I can jump from 6: 30 in the morning to 9: 00, with a 20-minute break."
The other is Mr. Li, a civil servant, aged 29.
Ask him how many steps he can take in a day. He thought about it and said that he drove to work for 30 minutes every day, and sat in the office most of the time. If you carefully calculate the number of walks, the farthest distance may be from the office to the canteen, 100 meters.
Experts told reporters that white-collar workers like Mr. Li, especially young white-collar workers, basically can't even reach the passing line of 4000 steps.
Walking is more worthy of "showing off". Some people lose weight after walking for five months 12 kg.
In order to encourage everyone to walk more, Gongshu District advocates "making walking a life habit that can be shown off".
The director of Gongshu District Health Bureau said calmly that in the past, people in China thought that driving was just to show off. Nowadays, walking is a life habit worth showing off. The walking distance sign set by the canal trail has been extended to the tributaries. There are groups of pedestrians by the canal every morning and evening.
In the first half of this year, Gongshu District held a "Walking Talent Competition". According to the rules, participants should take 200,000 steps and lose more than 1kg within 20 days.
During the competition, more than 50 hiking teams were formed in the whole district 10 street, and at least 5 people were selected to participate in the "Walking Talent Competition". Walking volunteers walk with pedometers and rest after weighing.
After 1 month competition, everyone broke through 200,000 steps within the specified time, and some even lost 6 kilograms. Most players never stop after they get into the habit.
Wang Xiaoying, the winner, said that since my weight reached1.20kg, I started to walk with my legs spread out and persisted for five months every day. At present, the weight remains at 108 kg.
