Exercise More and Maintain a Healthy Weight for a Healthy Gut


Exercise helps keep our gut microbiota healthy. Researchers found that exercise of moderate duration (more than 150 minutes per week) increased the diversity of the gut microbiome. How long a person exercises is more important than the intensity of the exercise for improving gut microbes. Since a poor diet can still outweigh the beneficial influence of exercise on gut microbes, it is important to also maintain a healthy weight.

运动有助于保持我们的肠道菌群健康。研究人员发现,中等强度(每周超过150分钟)的运动能增加肠道微生物群的多样性。若想改善肠道微生物,一个人能否持之以恒地保持运动习惯比运动时的强度来得更重要。由于不良饮食带来的有害影响仍然大于运动对肠道微生物的益处,因此保持健康的体重也是十分重要的。

Walking May Help Knee Osteoarthritis

A multiyear study has found that among participants with knee osteoarthritis, those who walked for exercise had a 40% decrease in the likelihood of experiencing frequent knee pain. On X-ray, those who walked also showed less severe disease. This suggests that walking may help reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and slow down the destruction of the joints.

一项多年的研究发现,在患有膝关节炎的研究对象中,经常步行锻炼的人士出现频繁膝关节疼痛的可能性降低了40%。X 光片也显示,经常步行的人士即使罹患疾病,病情亦较不严重。这表明步行可能有助于减轻膝关节炎的症状,并减缓关节的受损进程。
