In recent years, skiing has become the new fashionable winter sport. The snowy ski slopes are full of speed, adrenaline rush, excitement and fun, also good for health. The Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that skiing in addition to training the body’s sense of balance, but also to stimulate the brain and body synergy, not only young people, and even older silver-haired people, through skiing sports, the more you can ski more vigorous!
Skiing is not only fun, but also has many health benefits. To dispel the impression that skiing is an exclusive sport for young people, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor who turned age 70 this year, is a testament to the practice of skiing for health in the Taiwan medical community.
For many doctors, it is a challenge to take care of their own health and their patients’ health in the midst of their busy medical lives. But as all doctors unanimously recommend, for Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, there is no shortcut to health, and sport is the best way. Skiing at least once a year and for five hours every day, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who is already in his old age, not only looks young, but also has the physical strength to catch up with young boys.
What are the benefits of skiing for the body? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who first came into contact with skiing at the age of 40 and has never stopped for 30 years, admitted that skiing is indeed a fierce sport, unlike ordinary sports, and skiing in the mountains at 10,500 feet (equivalent to more than 3,000 meters) with a temperature of minus 20 degrees is really not a fun sport. In particular, the environment of the ski resort, usually thin air, low temperature and low, in the absence of oxygen, low temperature conditions, intense exercise, a slight failure, the consequences are unimaginable.
But skiing for health is a healthy sport, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained, not to mention the clean air and low temperature environment in the mountains, which is already good for human health. In addition, when skiing, the muscles of the whole body must occur a lot of torque, in the muscle movement at the same time, it is like stretching. In particular, skiing emphasizes a high degree of balance, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, the pursuit of balance is also equivalent to training the interaction between the brain and the body, if the brain and body nerve synergy is not good, it is impossible to ski on slopes as light as 35 degrees, 45 degrees, and as steep as more than 50 degrees, only when the whole body is balanced, can you enjoy the feeling of skiing. In other words, in the process of skiing, it is a training exercise for the brain and body muscle coordination, to enhance the function of the eyes, ears and other important organs of balance.
Statistics show that a skier with normal speed consumes an average of 734 calories in an hour, which is equivalent to running 9.5 kilometers in an hour. In many places worldwide, skiing is also used as a form of therapeutic rehabilitation to improve joint disease.
Not only does it help train the body’s balance and coordination, skiing is also beneficial in Chinese medicine theory, and is a sport that helps adjust the changes in the body’s yin and yang. When cold air enters the lungs through breathing, the temperature is very low, which is cool, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out, while the heat generated naturally by the body during sport, sweating, is hot, through skiing, the whole body’s heat and cool Qi can produce a very good interaction in the body, to slow down the functional effects of aging. Like many people like to practice yoga and Tai Chi, Li Shenpu said that skiing, which emphasizes a high degree of concentration, also has a similar effect. Once you can completely calm down, let go of all your worries and let your mind rest for three or four hours, your inspiration will be better and your work efficiency and creative performance will also be better.
As for his plans to ski until what age? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee laughed and said that eighty years old may be too greedy, but if he can continue to ski, the line has spare capacity, can reach the age of seventy-five, perhaps to the age of seventy-six will be satisfied, because the initial goal set to seventy years old can still ski has been achieved, the future can ski one more year to earn a year.
