After doing this, learn to say "no"

Health science also specifically encourages everyone to exercise more. However, we have found that many people engage in many unhealthy behaviors after exercise, which not only ruins their previous efforts but also has a certain impact on the body. Let’s take a look at some of the things you shouldn’t do immediately after exercise, and then try to correct them.

Don't sit and rest

Squatting to rest is a very common practice, which is not advisable to do immediately after exercise. After exercise, many people feel tired and squat or sit down, thinking that they can save energy and rest. In fact, this is a wrong approach. If you squat down to rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder blood return to the lower limbs, affect blood circulation, and deepen muscle fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock may occur.

Therefore, after each exercise, you should adjust your breathing rhythm and do some low-calorie activities, such as taking a slow walk, doing some relaxing gymnastics, or simply taking deep breaths to promote blood flow from the limbs to the heart, so as to pay off the "oxygen debt", speed up physical recovery and eliminate fatigue. If you are really exhausted, you can ask your companions to help you walk.

Don't be greedy for cold drinks

People often sweat profusely after exercise, especially in the summer. With the consumption of a large amount of water, people always feel dry mouth and urgent need to drink water after exercise. This is mostly felt by young people, who like to buy some cold drinks to cool off and quench their thirst. Health experts tell us that the human digestive system is still in a suppressed state and the digestive function is low at this time. If you drink a lot of cold drinks in order to cool down and quench your thirst, it can easily cause gastrointestinal cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and induce gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink cold drinks immediately after exercise. It is appropriate to add a small amount of boiled water or salt water at this time.

Don't eat right away

Another thing you shouldn’t do immediately after exercise is eating, especially during intense exercise when the motor nerve center is in a highly excited state. Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system that manages the activities of internal organs strengthens the inhibition of digestive system activities. At the same time, during exercise, blood throughout the body is redistributed and supplied more concentratedly to the needs of the motor organs, while the supply to the organs in the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced. The above factors weaken the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and greatly reduce the secretion of various digestive glands. It takes 20-30 minutes after exercise to recover. If you eat in a hurry, it will increase the burden on the digestive organs, cause functional disorders, and even cause various diseases.

Editor's tip: Friends who like to smoke should not smoke immediately after exercise. Drinking alcohol to relieve fatigue is also not advisable, and do not use bathing to sweat and relieve fatigue. After exercise, you should pay attention to relaxing activities, such as doing calisthenics that are conducive to relaxation, walking, and paying attention to your breathing rhythm.
