The old man takes a walk to see the difference in body constitution and joints and puts his hands behind his back

   1. High blood pressure, puff out your chest

  Keep your feet on the ground and your chest upright. Don't bend over or hunch your back too much to avoid compressing your chest. The pace should be medium to slow, not too fast, otherwise it will easily increase blood pressure. It is best not to take a walk in the morning, but after dinner. Because generally speaking, human blood pressure is highest in the morning and relatively stable in the evening.

  2. If you have poor joints, don’t carry your hands behind your back.

  Crutches can reduce the weight on the body and avoid secondary damage to the joints. In addition, try to avoid walking on slopes as much as possible and wear soft-soled shoes to cushion the shock. Elderly people with poor joints are more likely to fall and should especially avoid walking with their hands behind their backs.

  3. If you are weak, take big steps

  This kind of elderly people have weak legs and feet, their center of gravity is prone to instability, and their balance ability is poor. Therefore, when walking, they are required to spread their arms and take long strides. The speed is from slow to fast, which can make the whole body active, and all the organs of the body can participate in the exercise, effectively promoting the metabolism in the body. It is recommended to walk 1 to 2 times a day, about 1 hour each time.

  4. Fat old man, please walk longer.

  In order to increase the amount of exercise and achieve the effect of losing weight, obese elderly people can extend the walking time to one and a half hours, twice a day. When walking, you can use a combination of fast walking and slow walking. Consume excess calories in the body, promote metabolism, and improve heart function.

  5、coronary heart disease , walk slowly

  Elderly people with coronary heart disease should walk slowly and pay more attention heart rate . To avoid arrhythmia and induce angina pectoris. The appropriate heart rate for walking is no more than "170-age" per minute. The time and frequency of walking should be added and subtracted according to the physical condition. A little sweating and smooth breathing can achieve good results.

  6. High blood sugar, choose good shoes

  To prevent accidental foot injuries, people with diabetes should never wear open-toed shoes, let alone walk barefoot. It is best to choose cloth shoes or casual shoes with round toes, thick soles, breathability, fit, softness, and hook-and-loop fasteners. These shoes can reduce friction on the feet and prevent skin damage. Be sure to eat something before taking a walk, and do not go hungry, otherwise hypoglycemia may easily occur, and in severe cases, dizziness may lead to falls.
