Running in the summer night is absolutely not allowed

Due to work reasons, many white-collar workers choose to exercise and keep fit at night. Due to time constraints, exercising at night is also beneficial. If you have plenty of time, exercising casually to release a day's stress is also a good choice. So are there any precautions when running at night? Next, the editor has summarized some relevant precautions for evening jogging, so be sure to read them carefully.

1. Do not run immediately after a meal

Many people start preparing for running after dinner. Although there is more time in the evening, some people eat dinner late, so in order not to affect their early bedtime, they start running after dinner.

Although dinner is less than lunch, the stomach is busy digesting food right after eating. Immediately exercising vigorously will not only affect digestion but also cause gastroptosis. I originally went out to exercise, but ended up damaging my body, which was not worth it.

2. You can’t eat after running

Some people may think, since you can’t run immediately after eating, just eat after running. This can indeed prevent gastroptosis, but it can also cause other problems.

When people are fasting, their blood sugar is often low, which consumes a lot of energy in the body, and may lead to physical exhaustion and fainting easily. In addition, if you exercise on an empty stomach and then eat again, you will be hungrier than before, and you will eat more without realizing it, and even eat like a glutton. It is not good for digestion or weight loss.

The most suitable time to exercise is one hour after dinner, when the food has been almost digested and energy has been replenished, so you will have more energy to run.

3. Don’t run in places with heavy traffic

There are more and more vehicles now, and even at night, there are still cars coming and going on the road. If you run on the side of a road with heavy traffic, the road may be wide and you can run in a straight line, which may feel smooth, but the exhaust fumes from so many cars not only pollute the air, but also people's lungs.

Running itself is an aerobic exercise that delivers more oxygen to the body and exercises cardiopulmonary function. However, automobile exhaust contains carbon monoxide and leaded gasoline, and these toxic substances will cause great harm to the human body.

Another point is that running in areas with heavy traffic poses a safety hazard. It's not just a problem with the vehicles, but also because the road surface is uneven due to the pressure of vehicles, and is prone to potholes, which can easily sprain your ankle.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable place for running. Even if the park or gym is a little far from home, it is best to ride a bike there and then start running to get double exercise.

4. Don’t wear headphones while running

Many people wear headphones when running because running is a relatively monotonous sport, especially boring when doing it alone. Putting on the headphones makes running fun immediately. It can also relieve the fatigue caused by running, so that you can stick to this sport for a long time.

However, the noise outdoors is often louder. Even in the park, the volume is louder than indoors. This will obviously damage hearing; in addition, when running, friction will occur between the earphones and the ears, which will damage the skin of the outer ear. If the quality of the earphones is poor, the damage will be even greater.

Also, running improves blood circulation throughout the body, which is very beneficial to health, but wearing headphones will hinder blood circulation near the ears. In addition, sweating is easy to occur during exercise, which will breed bacteria and cause inflammation.

If you really want to listen to music while running, you can bring a lightweight player and play it in external speaker mode. It can not only kill the boring time while running, but also protect your ears, killing two birds with one stone.

Summary: There is nothing wrong with loving sports. As long as you do a good job of preparation before exercising, everything will be fine. Exercise at night in crowded places and with the company of friends, so that exercise will be safe.
