In the park, you can often see old people walking back and forth on a cobbled path. Often walking on the cobblestone road, exercise, etc., have a certain benefit for improving the body's balance ability and limb flexibility, and also have a certain degree of mitigation of hypertension and other illnesses. However, at the same time, it is worth noting that the way to step on the pebbles is not suitable for everyone. If you follow the trend blindly without analysis, you will not only fail to achieve the purpose of fitness, but will cause harm to the health of the elderly in particular.
Experts pointed out that walking on the cobblestone road, exercising, etc., can actually strengthen one's health, but elderly people should not tread on the pebbles for a long time.
Li Guangru, director of dermatology at Wangjing Hospital, told reporters that walking on cobblestones can stimulate foot acupuncture points and clear the foot meridians, which really has the effect of strengthening one's health. However, not enough time, everything must have a degree, take the cobblestone road for a long time, the elderly will not only fail to exercise, but will damage the ligaments of the foot, tendon strain caused by inflammation, so the elderly do not take a long cobblestone road.
In addition, the elderly do not walk as well as young people, and uneven cobblestone roads make it possible for the elderly to fall. At the same time, the elderly generally have different degrees of bone and joint degenerative diseases and osteoporosis. The uneven road surface makes the force conduction through the foot to change the direction, easily causing foot and knee joint damage. Clinically, it has been found that there are also many people with knee swelling that lead to cobblestones, and those with knee disease should be forbidden to exercise.
