每天散步一小时才有益心脏健康
Walking is a great way to keep your heart in good shape, but how long must you walk?
散步是保持心脏健康的有效方法 。但是应该散步多长时间呢?
Some experts say 30 minutes a day is enough,but I disagree. The best route to heart health is to walk one hour each and every day. And here’s why…
一些专家表示,每天30分钟足够了,但是我不赞同 。心脏健康的最佳途径就是坚持每天散步一小时 。下面是原因所在:
When you start to walk, your body relies on your built-in energy reserves for about the first half hour. After that, your body’s other biological processes kick in. And this is what translates into major rewards.
当你开始散步的时候,最初半小时你的身体依赖体内累积的能量储备 。随后,身体其他的生物学过程开始生效 。正是这个过程带来重大回报 。
First, your body increases its blood supply to your heart. Ordinarily, these tiny vessels are closed, but by continuing to walk, they open up, creating alternative blood flow.
首先,你的身体增加向心脏的血液供应 。通常情况下,这些微小的血管是封闭的,但是随着继续散步,这些血管会打开,创造额外的血液流动 。
This could actually save your life if your heart’s coronary arteries become blocked.
如果你的心脏冠状动脉被堵塞,这会挽救你的生命 。
Second, as you continue to walk, your body boosts its production of nitric oxide, a chemical that helps keep your heart’s coronary arteries young and flexible.
第二,随着你继续散步,可以促进身体一氧化氮生成量 。这种化学物质可以帮你保持心脏冠状动脉年轻,有弹性 。
Here are 3 simple walking tips to get you off to a good start:
下面是开始散步的三条简单建议:
• Don’t worry if you’re not accustomed to walking for an hour, just start where you are and build up to it gradually.
如果一开始不习惯散步一小时,不要担心,尽力而为,循序渐进 。
• Build in some variety. Investigate new places to walk for a refreshing change of scenery.
打造多样性 。多调查几个散步的新地方,寻找让你神清气爽的场景变化 。
• Invite your spouse or a neighbour along.Before long, you’ll find they will depend on you for that daily walk, which makes it harder for you to slack off.
邀请你的配偶或邻居陪同 。不久之后,你会发现他们依赖你陪他们坚持每天散步,让你更不容易懈怠 。
