According to reports from Harvard Health Publishing, a journal of Harvard Medical College, these two years have been affected by the epidemic. Compared to sports at home or in closed gyms, Americans prefer to go out of their homes and go to nature to perform outdoor sports. "Walking" can be said to be one of the outdoor sports modes that are closest to our daily habits. As long as you change your sports shoes, you can go to the park near your home. Taking advantage of the recent weather clearing and comfortable weather, we went out with our family and friends to perform a "walk" exercise, which can achieve the dual effect of relaxing the body and mind and burning fat at one time.
What is the difference between "walking" and "walking"?According to the report of foreign media CNN, "Hiking" can be said to be the "Sister Activity" of "Walking". Although both of them perform the same movement mode, because "Hiking" is usually in parks, forests or mountains, and the terrain of these natural environments has more height and steep changes, so people can more effectively exercise their muscles and core muscles when "Hiking".
{93}According to an international journal Science Direct's research pointed out that "walking" can burn twice as much heat than walking and 1.15 times more heat than running. The study said that when people "walking" outside, they will unconsciously immerse themselves in the scenery of nature and will also be curious about exploring more different ways of walking. Therefore, compared to ordinary walking or repeated running, they often want to spend more time "walking", which will naturally consume more heat.
2. Help eliminate pressure
Since "walking" is a movement that takes place outside, "walking" can also have a long time to get in the benefits of nature. A study conducted by the University of Connecticut in the United States showed that as long as people stay outside for 10 minutes, their brains will feel happy, and at the same time they will reduce pressure and make their body and mind more relaxed. Another study published in the journal Archive of Psychiatric Nursing in 2018 pointed out that when people are immersed in the scenery of nature, they will become colder, their brains will become clearer, and they will be able to think about things more.
3. Helps to reduce anxiety problems
The University of Innsbruck, Austria, once proposed a study pointing out that "moving" can help reduce anxiety, especially the "moving" movements on the mountain. This may be because in an environment full of green plants, walking and feeling the breath and sound of nature can increase positive emotions, allowing the tight nerves to relax, and effectively reduce the anxiety problem in the long run.
4. Increasing bone density
According to the American Bone Association, bone density refers to the density between the bone and the bone. If our bone density is high, it can prevent bone looseness, which is a very important health indicator for the elderly. Research proposed by Tufts University in the past points out that walking more helps increase bone density in the lower body, and the "walk" movement that walks outside for a long time can also achieve the same effect. Therefore, "walking more" helps increase bone density and prevents bone looseness.
5. Improve cognitive ability and concentration
The "cortisol" (Cortisol) that is called pressure glands is a hormone secreted by the kidney and upper glands in the pressure environment. It is to give the body enough energy to fight external pressure. However, when the "cortisol" is too high, it may cause anxiety, pressure, and even affect thinking and attention.
Research proposed by Chiyou University in Japan pointed out that the "walking" movement in the forest can help relax the body and mind, help adjust the "corticol" concentration in people's brains, so that the corticol can be maintained in a normal state and make the brain more focused. Therefore, frequent "walking" in the forests may help improve their concentration and awareness.
