Hilary: 本期节目探讨了每日步数多少才算合适的主题,并以"过犹不及"的英语谚语为例,说明适度运动的重要性。我首先解释了"过犹不及"的含义,即适量的益处是好的,但过量则可能适得其反。这适用于生活中的许多方面,例如酒精、巧克力,甚至胡萝卜(吃太多胡萝卜会导致皮肤变橙色,这被称为"胡萝卜血症")。 我介绍了人们普遍追求的每日1万步目标,以及使用健身追踪器监测步数的现象。虽然这个目标对很多人来说很有吸引力,但它并非基于科学研究,而是源于1964年的一次营销活动。虽然一些研究表明,1万步比5000步对健康更有益,但最佳步数仍未有定论。一项研究发现,每天超过7500步后,健康益处不再增加。 最近,一位英国YouTuber Jack Massey Welsh 挑战一周走25万步(平均每天3.5万步),以此来测试极限。结果显示,即使他摄入大量蛋白质和卡路里,仍然减重了,并且关节和脚部都出现了疼痛和肿胀,不得不服用止痛药。这说明,过量运动会对身体造成负面影响。 关于每日步数的研究结果并不一致。一些研究表明,每天走4500步可以降低死亡风险,而另一些研究则认为,每天走500步就能延长寿命。但这些研究的可信度和方法论都存在争议。我个人认为,应该根据自身情况选择合适的运动量,找到一个平衡点,例如7500-8000步。重要的是倾听身体的反馈,找到适合自己的运动强度。
