Question
A 16-year-old youth is seeking weight loss advice and inquires about which method, jogging or brisk walking, is more suitable for weight loss without increasing muscle mass. They also want to know which time of day, morning or evening, is better for exercising, as well as how to promote height growth.
Answer
Compared to brisk walking, jogging can burn more calories, making it more effective for weight loss. The morning air is fresh, making it ideal for morning exercises. To promote height growth, one should maintain a balanced diet, consume foods rich in calcium, and engage in moderate exercise. It is recommended to follow the principle of “eat well in the morning, eat adequately at noon, and eat less at night,” and to persistently run for over half an hour in the morning and evening. Additionally, activities such as skipping rope, high jump, kick the can, and single/double bars can help with weight loss while promoting height growth.
