Can I drink water before exercising?

It is inevitable that people will lose a lot of water during exercise. In addition, the metabolism will obviously speed up during exercise. Therefore, the body's demand for water will greatly increase. At this time, it is best to replenish water in time. You can also drink some water before exercise. Let’s take a look at some of the main benefits of drinking water before exercise to human health.

The view that drinking water is good for health has been increasingly accepted by people. When I say drinking water, I don’t mean drinking water when you are thirsty, but establishing a scientific concept of drinking water.

Many elderly people have the good habit of exercising in the morning. Morning is indeed a good time to exercise, but I advise you not to get up too early, because four or five o'clock in the morning is the period when the human body's basal metabolism is at its lowest level. Exercising at this time will not only make it difficult to mobilize the body's positive factors, but also easily induce the occurrence of disease. Also, don't go out too quickly after getting up, because after a night of sleep, the human body loses a lot of water due to breathing, urination and skin evaporation, resulting in insufficient blood volume, increased blood viscosity and microcirculation congestion.

Exercising in this state can easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and people with high blood pressure and heart disease should pay more attention. Drinking water in the morning can change these unfavorable factors. At this time, the gastrointestinal tract of the human body is in an empty state. The drinking water can be quickly absorbed and penetrate into the cell tissue, so that the body is replenished with sufficient water, blood circulation returns to normal, and microcirculation is unblocked. At the same time, it promotes liver and kidney metabolism and cleans up waste in the body, thereby improving the body's disease resistance and greatly reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Drinking water is good for your health, and not just in the morning. In fact, for middle-aged and elderly people, drinking two or three glasses of water 30 to 60 minutes before each meal is very effective in preventing high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.

The method of drinking water is very simple. Drink 500 to 1000 ml of fresh warm water every morning. If you can't drink 500 to 1000 ml of water at the beginning, it's okay, take it slow, start with 200 ml, and then increase the amount after you gradually adapt, until your body needs 500 to 1000 ml.

Water is an important component of the human body. When the body is severely dehydrated, it is easy to induce many diseases. Water replenishment should be timely and appropriate, and try not to drink excessively. If you drink too much at one time, it may cause water electrolyte poisoning in the human body, which can induce a lot of discomfort and bring some adverse effects to your health.
