What issues should men and women pay attention to after strenuous exercise

Exercising more is very helpful for physical health, but many friends do not understand the health care work for men after exercise. Let’s take a look at it with the editor below. After strenuous exercise, many people will immediately rest on the spot, or quickly go back to take a shower, or drink a lot of beverages. These are all wrong practices. There are many more besides these. Here are five common wrong practices after strenuous exercise for your reference.

Can't rest immediately

During strenuous exercise, a person's heart rate increases, muscles and capillaries expand, blood flow speeds up, and at the same time, the rhythmic contraction of muscles squeezes small veins, causing blood to flow back to the heart quickly. If you stop to rest immediately at this time, the rhythmic contraction of the muscles will also stop. The large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles will not be able to flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, causing low blood pressure and temporary cerebral ischemia, leading to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale complexion, and even shock and fainting. Therefore, after strenuous exercise, you should continue to do some light exercises and stop to rest after your breathing and heartbeat return to normal.

Don’t eat a lot of sugar

Some people feel comfortable eating sweets or sugary drinks after strenuous exercise, and think that eating more sweets after exercise is good for them. In fact, eating too much sweets after exercise will cause a large consumption of vitamin B1 in the body, causing people to feel tired, lose appetite, etc., which will affect physical recovery. Therefore, after strenuous exercise, it is best to eat more foods containing vitamin B1, such as vegetables, liver, eggs, etc.

Don’t binge drink

Some people drink boiled water or other beverages in large quantities when they are thirsty after exercise. This will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and dilute the gastric juice, which will not only reduce the bactericidal effect of the gastric juice, but also hinder the digestion of food. Drinking water too quickly will also increase the blood solubility too quickly, suddenly increasing the burden on the heart, causing disorders of electrolytes such as potassium and sodium in the body, and even heart failure, heart tightness and abdominal distension, etc. Therefore, you should not drink too much water too quickly after exercise, and you should not drink cold drinks, otherwise it will affect the dissipation of body temperature and cause colds, abdominal pain or other diseases.

Can't drink alcohol to relieve fatigue

After strenuous exercise, a person's body functions will be at a high level. Drinking at this time will cause the body to absorb alcohol faster, and the harm to organs such as the liver and stomach will be greater than usual. Long-term use of this can cause fatty liver, cirrhosis, gastritis, gastric ulcer, dementia and other diseases.

Do not take a bath immediately

In order to maintain a constant body temperature after strenuous exercise, the blood vessels on the skin surface dilate, the sweat pores open, and perspiration increases to facilitate heat dissipation. If you take a cold shower at this time, the sudden stimulation will cause the blood vessels to contract immediately, the blood circulation resistance will increase, the burden on the heart will increase, and at the same time the body's resistance will be reduced, making people prone to illness. Taking a hot bath will continue to increase the blood flow in the skin, and too much blood will flow into the muscles and skin, causing insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. In mild cases, it may cause dizziness, and in severe cases, it may cause collapse and shock, and it may also easily induce other chronic diseases. Therefore, you must rest for a while before taking a bath after strenuous exercise.
