"The pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection is spreading. Many people choose to live at home. Many people have lived a life of eating, sleeping, and eating. From the perspective of reducing the flow of people and avoiding the spread of the epidemic, staying at home is definitely of great significance. , But it does not mean that physical exercises, especially scientific physical exercises, can be ignored." Guo Jianjun, director of the Research Center for Promotion and Innovation of Physical and Medical Integration of the Institute of Sports Science of the State General Administration of Sport, told reporters.
"Now there is a view that when the epidemic is spreading, one should eat more food to strengthen resistance. However, if you do not exercise, you should maintain an appropriate amount of food. When the human body is in a situation where there is no shortage of food Blindly increasing food intake, including excessive sleep, will not help improve immunity, because it ignores the most important health factor, namely sports health." Guo Jianjun said, “For human health, nutrition is definitely important. However, in the case of insufficient exercise at home, blind intake, sleep, and less exercise are not only not conducive to enhancing immunity, but also may reduce immunity and increase the risk of disease infection. On the other hand, exercise is an essential element of life. , Whether it is healthy human disease prevention or treatment of an already ill, it needs exercise."
"The integration of sports and medicine is an urgent need to promote the health revolution. What is a health revolution? It is to change the incorrect health concepts and methods in the past. Judging from the current situation, the neglect of exercise and health preservation is very obvious. Many people know the benefits of exercise, but they don’t know the disadvantages of not exercising. This leads to the “short board” in the “bucket principle”. It has become the biggest shortcoming, but in fact, active exercise is the most economical and effective way to achieve active health. It should attract attention from all parties." Guo Jianjun said.
Under the premise of establishing the concept of "life lies in movement", sports also need scientific guidance. "At present, we can also do some moderate-intensity full-body aerobic exercises at home, such as broadcast gymnastics, such as Tai Chi, such as fitness qigong , etc. Usually many people complain that they are busy at work, have no time to exercise, and no time to master sports skills. You can use a lot of time to master 1-2 sports skills. Practice once in the morning and once in the afternoon. It is better than eating and sleeping at home. The country says that staying at home is the greatest contribution to the prevention and control of the epidemic, but to promote active health awareness and follow Scientific guidance, choosing appropriate exercise methods and methods according to your actual situation, is responsible for yourself and the country in the longer term." Guo Jianjun emphasized.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: Righteousness is inside, and evil cannot be done. Only when the body is good and enough righteous qi has accumulated, the evil qi will not interfere, and there will be no symptoms. Such a concept is of great significance to the special period now.
