What is the best sport in the world? Walk! The World Health Organization considers walking to be the “best sport in the world,” but with the rapid pace of modern life and increasing work pressure, many people urgently need to go outdoors for exercise, and hiking is the most typical form of outdoor activity.
So what are the benefits of outdoor hiking?
1. Increase memory
As people age, their memory also declines. Walking can increase memory. Remember to walk every morning, and your memory will become stronger and stronger.
2. Strengthen muscles and bones
Hiking exercise can exercise the entire skeletal system, stretch tendons, strengthen muscles, move joints, strengthen bones, and reduce osteoporosis.
3. Relax both physically and mentally
The disharmony, unease, and imbalance between body and mind, as well as physical and mental illnesses, all stem from the blockage of qi and blood. The reason for the blockage of qi and blood is the blockage of meridians. Therefore, both body and mind are not free. By walking, when qi and blood are unobstructed, body and mind become free. This aspect is related to walking meditation.
4. Reduce the condition
Hiking exercise can control and alleviate illnesses. For example, diabetes patients use glucose poorly. Walking can increase the body’s use of glucose, thus controlling the development of diabetes. The United States conducted a health tracking survey on 72488 nurses and found that those who walked for more than 6 hours a week had a 40% reduction in stroke incidence compared to others.
5. Promote digestion
Walking can enhance the secretion function of digestive glands, promote the regular peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, increase appetite, and have a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, habitual constipation, and other diseases.
6. Reduce diseases of the five organs
The five organs and six viscera need exercise. If they don’t exercise, they will naturally harden and get sick. Therefore, walking can enhance the secretion function of digestive glands, promote regular peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, increase appetite, and enhance the elasticity of the five organs and six viscera. Many diseases can be cured naturally.
7. Healing the Three Highs
There are three highs, and the doctors have prescribed many prescriptions, but there is no significant effect. Let’s start walking. We lost 40 pounds in five months, and the three highs are now balanced. Walking has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, habitual constipation, and other diseases.
8. Make friends and broaden your horizons
In the outdoors, you will meet many like-minded friends to expand your social circle. Outdoors, you will encounter many new things, such as plants, animals, buildings, etc., that you have never seen before, and the fun is endless.
9. Beautiful body shape
Whether a person is beautiful or not is directly related to their blood. If there is no garbage in a person’s blood, they must be beautiful. If there is a lot of garbage in their blood, they will naturally not be beautiful. Therefore, walking can eliminate the garbage in the body and blood, reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat, and maintain the beauty of the body.
10. Reduce myocardial injury
In medicine, myocardial infarction is mainly caused by obstruction of qi and blood flow and blood clots blocking blood vessels. Walking can reduce the formation of blood clots and reduce the possibility of myocardial infarction.
11. Enhance renal function
People themselves are lazy and unwilling to move around. Sitting for long periods of time can harm the kidneys, causing kidney deficiency, nephritis, kidney stones, and renal function decline. Therefore, if there is insufficient blood supply to the kidneys, there will be insufficient blood supply to the liver; If the liver blood is insufficient, the heart blood will be insufficient, and you will start to get sick. Taking medication for treating diseases and increasing the burden on the kidneys, walking can reduce medication and enhance kidney function.
12. Clear brain
Staying in front of the computer, reading books and writing articles at home, the brain may not be clear. Walking and receiving fresh outdoor air can make the brain’s thinking activities clearer and more flexible, significantly eliminating brain fatigue and improving learning and practice.
13. Enhance vision
Reading, using the computer, and sending too many WeChat messages have led to vision degradation. According to expert tests, those who walk three times a week for one hour each time and persist for four months have a sharp reaction and an advantage in both vision and memory compared to those who do not like exercise.
14. Longevity and longevity
The meaning of life lies in movement. Walking is a fitness method that involves both movement and stillness, which can relieve nerve and muscle tension, stabilize emotions, and naturally extend lifespan.
15. Developing Wisdom
There is an indirect relationship between human stupidity and bloodiness. When there is a lot of garbage in the blood of the human body, people naturally become stupid, and stupid people cannot develop wisdom. Regular and persistent walking can eliminate blood waste, relieve fatigue, improve mental well-being, alleviate palpitations, eliminate exhaust pollution, strengthen the body, invigorate the spirit, and enhance intelligence. For your health, please start walking.
