　　Should the elderly not continue to exercise for a long time?

　　play sports exercise beneficial to the elderly healthy , enhance the physical fitness of the elderly and prevent various disease . However, some exercises cannot be sustained for a long time, otherwise they will have the opposite effect.

　　For the health of the elderly, the elderly should not adhere to the following three types of exercise for a long time.

　　1. Take a deep breath

　　In recent years, scientific research and clinical It was observed that high blood pressure and coronary heart disease In patients, excessive deep breathing can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vasoconstriction, which may be fatal. Myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other accidents are directly or indirectly related to deep breathing.

　　Therefore, it is best not to perform deep breathing exercises for patients who have already developed arteriosclerosis, especially those with high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　2. Take a step back

　　Walking backwards or running backwards can stimulate muscles that are not frequently active and improve the body's balance. Therefore, many people elderly I like to take a step back when doing morning exercises. Because the cardiovascular reserve capacity of the elderly is reduced, walking or running backwards will overwhelm the cardiovascular system. At the same time, the neck will turn, resulting in compression of the carotid artery, narrowing of the lumen, and reduced blood flow, resulting in reduced blood supply to the brain, hypoxia in the brain, and even sudden fainting when the neck is turned.

　　For the elderly, it is not harmful to health to step back once in a while, but it should not be done frequently.

　　3. Drink salt water

　　Physiological research believes that physiological activities such as breathing and perspiration are still going on during sleep, and a lot of water is consumed. When you get up in the morning, the blood is in a concentrated state. Drinking salt water will aggravate hypertonic dehydration and make people feel dry. At the same time, early morning is the first peak of human body's blood pressure rise. Drinking salt water will cause blood pressure to rise higher, which is harmful to health.

　　Drinking boiled water in the morning is the best choice. It can not only replenish lost water, but also effectively dilute the blood.
