Autumn is coming, the weather is cool, and many people like to contact nature through sports. In particular, the elderly like to take a walk in autumn. They can make an appointment with three or five neighbors, or call an old partner, and chat while walking. They are happy and contented. However, from the perspective of health preservation, there are also some concerns when walking, that is, it is better not to talk when walking, otherwise it will be bad for the elderly.
As the ancients said, “when you walk, you must not talk to others. If you want to speak, you must stop at your feet, otherwise you will lose your qi. It is said that when you walk, you will move your qi. When you open your mouth again, your Qi will become intermittent and out of balance.” That is to say, it’s better not to talk to people when walking, and stop when talking, so as not to hurt your breath. Modern medical research also supports this view. Researchers said that speaking and breathing are controlled by the same area of the brain. If you keep talking while walking, the brain will “serve two purposes at once”. If you talk while walking, the activity of abdominal muscles will be significantly reduced, which also indicates that the risk of accidents will increase. At the same time, due to the interruption of signal transmission in the central nervous system, the strength of abdominal muscles will also be weakened, and the protective effect on the spine will be reduced, which will increase the probability of accidents in the bones of the elderly. The heart and lung function of the elderly are decreased, and the respiratory system is not as good as that of the young. It is easy to be tired and out of breath. In addition, in recent years, the air quality in all parts of the country has declined significantly, with more and more smog days. The more people talk in a polluted environment, the more harmful substances they inhale.
Therefore, it is recommended that the elderly should talk less or not as much as possible when walking, and not to chat loudly with their partners around them; If you need to talk while walking, I suggest you stop first and stand still before you speak; Elderly friends who often walk together can form a tacit understanding, communicate through body language, and enjoy chatting after walking; Don’t open your mouth when you’re out on a windy day.
