Is it okay to run in the morning and evening?

Whether in the evening or in the morning, you can see many people running. It seems to have become a healthy exercise for the whole nation. Some people choose to run in the morning, some choose to run in the evening, so some people ask the question whether it is good to run in the morning and evening. Is it good for the body to run in the morning and evening? Are there any side effects? These are questions that everyone is concerned about, so what are the correct answers?

It is generally acknowledged that the morning time period is better, but the body functions have not yet fully recovered in the morning, and the exercise effect may not be good. It is easier to get results in the afternoon. Exercising on an empty stomach also has some adverse effects on the body. There have been reports of athletes dying suddenly while running on an empty stomach in the morning. If you really have this habit, it is recommended to drink half a cup of milk, and it is not advisable to drink too much to increase the burden on the stomach. There is another reason. The air pollution is not very serious now. The uncles and aunts who sweep the garbage in the morning don’t care whether you run or not. Breathing dust early in the morning will probably shorten your life. It is recommended to go to a special playground or park. In addition, the air is relatively cold in the morning, which is irritating to the lungs and prone to hemoptysis, so warm up first.

In fact, the key to exercise is persistence and regularity. The human body will adapt to its own habits. The biological clock will automatically adjust when you exercise every day. It is not good to exercise in the morning or evening. The best time is between 3-8 pm!

Especially for outdoor exercise, the morning time is the least suitable, because the main reason is that plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at night. In the early morning, the sun is just coming out, and the photosynthesis of plants has just begun. There is relatively less oxygen in the air and the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher. If you exercise earlier, the effect will be worse; in large and medium-sized cities, the activity of the atmosphere is relatively still in the early morning, and various exhaust gases are not easy to dissipate. It is the time of day when air pollution is more serious. On the other hand, from the perspective of the physiological changes of the human body, after a night's sleep, the water in the body is lost through the respiratory tract, skin, defecation, etc. This makes the body's water intake insufficient to make up for the output, so that the tissues, organs and even cells of the whole body are in a state of relative dehydration. When the body is in a poor state of hydration, due to the decrease in circulating blood volume and the increase in blood viscosity, the speed of blood circulation in the whole body will be affected in mild cases, and the blood supply and oxygen supply to the muscle tissues of the body during exercise cannot be met. Therefore, it is easy to experience accelerated heart rate, palpitations, shortness of breath, and increased body temperature during exercise.

Although running is a healthy form of exercise, it is important to use the correct method and pay attention to the amount. Therefore, people who run in the morning and evening should pay attention to controlling the time and speed of running according to their physical health conditions. Secondly, if you run in the morning, you should pay attention to choosing a good environment. It is not recommended to run in the morning when the air pollution is serious, as it is not good for your health.
