When is the best time to go hiking?

Hiking is a sport that many people like. It can also allow our bodies to get more adequate exercise. After work and study, hiking can effectively relieve the pressure of work and study. However, any exercise has its limitations. If your physical health is not very good, or the weather is not very good, it is not suitable for hiking. So when is the best time to hike?

It is generally better to go hiking in the early morning. Pay attention to replenishing water during exercise. Drink more water after satisfying your thirst, or drink 400 to 600 ml of water 10 to 15 minutes before exercise. This can reduce the degree of dehydration during exercise. Beverages should contain appropriate sugar and electrolytes (and preferably vitamin C) to relieve fatigue and restore physical strength as quickly as possible.

Warm up first and relax afterwards. When you start mountain climbing exercise, you must not increase the amount of exercise right away, but proceed step by step. Usually you should do some simple warm-up exercises first, and then gradually increase the intensity at a certain breathing frequency to avoid sudden changes in breathing frequency during exercise. At the end of your exercise, you should relax so that you can better maintain your muscle strength and allow blood to return from your limbs to your heart.

Vitamin "hot supplement". When climbing, the energy and various nutrients are consumed at a high level. Therefore, in addition to taking in enough energy according to personal circumstances, the supply of vitamins is indispensable. Special attention should be paid to supplementing the appropriate amount of vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin D every day. In addition, food should be easy to digest, eat less foods containing crude fiber and gas-producing foods (celery, leeks, soybeans, etc.), and eat more alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruits, kelp, etc. It is beneficial to the acid-base balance in the body, increase alkali reserves and improve athletic ability.

When hiking, you must make preparations in advance. When the weather is hot, you must carry water and heat-relief medicines with you. It is best not to hike alone. You can ask a few friends to go hiking together. If the weather is bad, it is best not to go hiking, and do not go hiking in some undeveloped mountainous areas.
