Which old people are not suitable for mountain climbing?

Every organ of the elderly body is declining, and mountain climbing is a sport that consumes a lot of oxygen. If the intensity of climbing the mountain is too high, patients with poor health or heart disease will feel tired and have difficulty breathing. On the basis of the original heart disease, these people will be unstable and lead to ventricular arrhythmia, and even sudden cardiac death in severe cases. In addition to heart disease patients, people of a certain age (women over 50 years old and men over 40 years old) belong to the high-risk group of coronary heart disease. People who already have hypertension and coronary heart disease, especially those with chronic coronary insufficiency, are also not suitable for climbing mountains.

Elderly people with chronic diseases

Some elderly people suffering from chronic diseases, including chronic nephritis, nephropathy, hematological diseases, chronic tracheitis, cor pulmonale, diabetic complications, etc., should not climb mountains. If these patients with chronic diseases do not pay attention to physical changes when climbing mountains, it is likely to lead to aggravation or sudden danger.

Elderly people with joint diseases

So-called? Old legs get old first? Generally, most of us will have chondromalacia patellae when we are over 40 years old. If we exercise excessively on the knee joint with high pressure intensity, it is easy to accelerate the wear and aging of knee joint cartilage, leading to knee joint problems. Therefore, those elderly people with osteoarthritis should avoid climbing mountains.

The benefits of mountain climbing for the elderly 1. Mountain climbing can improve heart and lung function.

The area of virgin forests and grasslands in the mountains is far from the area of green flowers and plants in the city. Therefore, walking and climbing mountains in the elderly is beneficial to improve lung ventilation, increase vital capacity, improve lung function and enhance cardiac contractility.

2. Mountain climbing can delay aging.

The normal metabolism of the human body will produce a harmful substance called free radicals, which will destroy the cell membrane of the human body, dissolve the normal cells of the human body, and cause the aging and even variation of human tissues. Oxygen negative ions can effectively bind free radicals and expel them from the body. According to relevant data, the unit content of oxygen negative ions in urban streets is only 100 to 300, but it can reach tens of thousands in mountain forests. Therefore, walking and camping in the mountains can effectively discharge harmful free radicals and help delay aging.

3. Climbing mountains can enhance your eyesight.

One of the easiest ways to treat myopia is to look farther and relax the eye muscles. However, due to industrial pollution and heat island effect, there are many suspended particles in the air and the visibility of the city is poor. Shan Ye, especially on the top of the mountain, can make eyes look infinitely far and relieve eye muscle fatigue.

4. Mountain climbing can promote metabolism.

Glucose metabolism in children's daily life belongs to aerobic metabolism. Mountain climbing activities, especially mountain climbing, are mostly anaerobic metabolism because of the thin air. Coupled with the large amount of exercise in mountain climbing and camping activities, picnicking in the mountains is often difficult to meet the calorie demand in the body. Therefore, it can consume a large amount of adipose tissue gathered in the human body, especially the adipose tissue in the waist and abdomen. Because mountain climbing belongs to aerobic exercise, it can make muscles get 10 times more oxygen than usual, thus increasing the number of protein and immune cells in the blood, thus effectively helping to excrete harmful substances in the body.
