This kind of "enjoyment" after exercise actually increases fatigue

After exercising, we usually feel tired, and it would be a happy thing if we could have a delicious meal at this time. However, it should be noted that the diet during exercise should be based on scientific and reasonable principles. If the diet is improper, it may make you feel more tired. For example, eating fish after exercising will increase the feeling of fatigue.

Fish is not only rich in nutrients, but also a good choice for weight loss and slimming. Therefore, many people who exercise will take it for granted to eat fish after fitness. In fact, doing so is not only unhelpful in relieving fatigue, but also makes people feel more tired.

"After physical labor or strenuous exercise, the body will feel very tired because the body produces a large amount of lactic acid. Fish is an acidic food, and eating fish after exercise will acidify the blood. Coupled with the large amount of lactic acid produced in the body, the degree of fatigue will increase." explained the sports nutritionist. After exercise, you can eat some milk, vegetables, fruits, seaweed, etc.

It is not advisable to eat chicken, fish, and eggs after exercise

Many people often experience muscle swelling, joint pain, and mental fatigue after physical exercise. In order to relieve fatigue as soon as possible, they would buy some chicken, fish, meat, eggs, etc. and have a big meal, thinking that this would replenish nutrition and meet the body's needs. In fact, eating these foods at this time is not only not conducive to relieving fatigue, but has adverse effects on the body.

Human food can be divided into acidic food and alkaline food. The acidity and alkalinity of food is not determined by people's taste or the chemical properties of food when it is soluble in water, but by the acidity and alkalinity of the final metabolites produced after the food enters the human body. Acidic foods are usually rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, and contain elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc. After being metabolized in the body, they produce alkaline substances that can prevent the blood from changing to acidic. Therefore, sour fruits are generally alkaline foods rather than acidic foods. Although chicken, fish, meat, eggs, sugar, etc. do not taste sour, they are acidic foods.

After long research, an American pathologist pointed out that only when body fluids are weakly alkaline can the human body remain healthy. The body fluids of a normal person are weakly alkaline. After physical exercise, people feel sore muscles and joints and mental fatigue. The main reason is that the sugar, fat and protein in the body are broken down in large quantities, and during the decomposition process, acidic substances such as lactic acid and phosphoric acid are produced. These acidic substances stimulate human tissues and organs, causing people to feel sore muscles and joints and mental fatigue. At this time, if you simply eat meat, eggs, fish, etc. that are rich in acidic substances, the body fluids will become more acidic, which is not conducive to relieving fatigue. Eating vegetables, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits, and apples, due to their alkaline effect, can eliminate excess acid in the body, reduce the acidity of urine, increase the solubility of uric acid, and reduce the possibility of acid forming stones in the bladder.

To sum up, if people eat fish after exercising, it will increase the feeling of fatigue. It is recommended to eat some alkaline foods after exercise, such as vegetables, fruits and soy products, to better maintain the body's acid-base balance and relieve fatigue as soon as possible.
