Why can walking become a powerful tool against cancer? Popularization of science Multiple mechanisms, including changes in the levels of metabolic hormones, inflammatory response , and immune function improvement , are all undergoing changes [2] during walking.
For example, walking accelerates blood circulation and the flow of immune cells (such as natural killer cells and white blood cells) in the body, enhancing their ability to recognize and eliminate abnormal cells. Studies have found that regular long-term walking can increase the activity of immune cells by 20% to 30%.
《 A study published in the British Journal of Cancer suggests that cancer patients who walk30minutes a day will experience a decrease in mortality rate34%, and an increase in survival rate< H413>33%[3]。
Walking like this every day will yield better results Popularization of science 1、 Correct walking posture to avoid ineffective walking
Incorrect walking posture may offset the exercise benefits of80%. A single step requires mobilizing200+muscles to activate the cerebellum-H519>Vestibular-Visual triple balance system, with3Points that need special attention:
① Keep your chest and head up, and keep your spine upright without hunching;
② The swing arm should be naturally bent 30~40degrees, with the arms driving the whole body, avoiding "walking with hands behind the back";
③ The ankle and heel should move in sync, with the heel --the arch of the foot --the toes touching the ground in sequence, reducing joint impact.
2, it doesn't matter if you can't complete it all at once, accumulating in segments is also effective
Some people don't have time to complete it all at once 9000steps, or their physical strength can't support walking so much.
It's okay, accumulated walking is also effective[1]!
Try to walk briskly for 10minutes or more each time, whether it's to pick up a package at the post station, go shopping at the supermarket or market, take a walk after meals, etc. Seizing every opportunity to walk in daily life, especially for middle-aged people, may be the simplest way to reduce your risk of certain cancers.
“the ancestor of all exercises”. Walking is not only the basic form of exercise, but also the core key to activating the body's self-healing system.
Everyone, quickly forward this to your walking partner, and let's set off today ~
