Doing it once every night is like chronic suicide

It is a well-known fact that exercise is good for health. However, young people nowadays not only have to deal with work during the day, but also have to attend social events at night. When they finally wait for the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, they either want to lie in bed and sleep in, or they are busy going out on vacation to relax. This intense pace of life repeats itself every day. How can I have extra time to do sports?

Even if I can squeeze out some time, it is mostly between dinner and bedtime. But what is shocking is that recently, an article about "Exercise at night is equivalent to chronic suicide" has been circulated wildly in the circle of friends. It is said that sweating activities after the sun goes down will damage the yang energy. Exercising at this time is not only bad for health, but also harmful to the body. Are you serious? So when is the best time of the day to exercise?

Is exercising at night equivalent to chronic suicide?

Since many people are busy with work and life on weekdays, they choose to exercise in the evening. In fact, citizens who often exercise at night do not feel particularly uncomfortable.

So, is the rumor that has been circulating groundless? Dr. Ouyang Bashi from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, considering the balance of yin and yang in the human body, the yang energy slowly subsides at night and the yin energy slowly increases, which requires that one should focus on being quiet. Excessive exercise will indeed affect sleep. If you exercise excessively and sweat a lot, it will cause the body's immunity to be weakened, weak and prone to illness. It's okay in the summer, but especially in the autumn and winter, because the weather is relatively cold, it is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The statement that exercising at night is equivalent to chronic suicide is somewhat exaggerated. In fact, it is best to exercise during the day. Even if you exercise at night, do not do strenuous exercise.

What time of day is best for exercise?

"In fact, you don't have to spend a large block of time exercising. You can also take time during the day to exercise." Professional fitness coach Wu told Xiao 8.

Nowadays, there are indeed many people who choose to exercise at night using the excuse of being busy during the day. But in fact, you can also find time to exercise during the day, even if it is just 10 minutes of free time at work, you can do appropriate exercise, which solves the problem of not having time during the day. However, there are a few things to pay attention to when exercising during the day.

As the saying goes: A day's plan begins in the morning, so many people choose to exercise in the morning. In fact, this may not be the right time to exercise. Because between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., carbon dioxide refluxes and the air quality is not good.

In addition, the human body's blood viscosity is higher in the morning, especially for those who suffer from high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Getting up early to exercise is very harmful to the body. "So people who exercise in the morning should not only control their time, but also drink a glass of water before exercise to dilute the blood and reduce viscosity.

According to traditional concepts, one should take a nap after lunch. In fact, the human body's athletic ability reaches its peak between 2 and 4 p.m. At this time, the sun is abundant, the temperature is suitable, and the wind is light, making it the best time to exercise. "We recommend that you exercise one hour after lunch, otherwise it will affect your gastrointestinal digestion function."

If you want to lose weight, it is best to exercise at night. Because exercising at night can help food digest faster and will not cause fat to accumulate in the body. However, no matter how intense the exercise is, it will put the nervous system in an excited state, so it is best to wait for 1 hour before going to bed after exercise.
