Notes on summer exercise

Exercise is a very healthy lifestyle. Exercising every day can effectively improve the body's immune ability, and it can also stretch the muscles and bones, which is very beneficial to all aspects of the body. However, when exercising in the hot summer, you need to pay more attention to some matters. Because it is hot in summer, it is easy to sweat during exercise, so you need to pay more attention to replenishing water, and you also need to pay more attention to the occurrence of heatstroke.

Notes on summer exercise

Beware of heat stroke

The weather is hot in summer, and exercising outdoors for a long time will increase the risk of heat stroke. If you experience difficulty breathing, dizziness, blacking out, weak limbs, etc., then you can be sure that you have heatstroke.

At this time, you need to move to a cool place, replenish water in time, and sit quietly to rest. You can also slowly pat your forehead and temples with water to help yourself recover as soon as possible.

If the condition is too serious, you should lie flat and do not move easily. You can spray Huoxiang Zhengqi water inside your mouth to help the body recover quickly.

Beware of water shortage

Because the temperature is high in summer, long-term exercise will cause the water in the body to be excreted as sweat. The high temperature will accelerate the evaporation of water, thus causing dehydration.

If you feel dry mouth and thirsty, you can tell that you are dehydrated. When many people are short of water, they will drink a lot of water. This is a wrong approach. A person who is dehydrated should replenish water gradually, preferably with light salt water little by little.

Be careful of exploding lungs

In summer, of course, it is better to drink iced drinks. However, people who have just exercised should be careful to avoid iced drinks. During exercise, the body's blood circulates faster, causing the body's temperature to rise.

Even if you have stopped exercising, your body temperature will still remain high within half an hour, and it will be difficult to lower it in a short time. Drinking iced drinks at this time will cause the esophagus, stomach and other parts of the body to contract rapidly, causing discomfort.

You need to replenish water after exercise, but it is best to drink a small amount of room temperature water about 20 minutes after stopping exercise. Iced drinks are delicious, but for the sake of human health, they should not be consumed after exercise.

Beware of sunburn

Attention friends who choose outdoor sports! Please pay close attention to the temperature. When the temperature is too high, your exposed skin may be at risk of sunburn. It is not suitable to do outdoor sports at this time, you should choose indoor sports.

What should you pay attention to when exercising in summer

The weather is hot in summer. When exercising in this situation, you should pay attention to the following points to prevent harm to your body.

Don't exercise for too long

Generally speaking, the exercise time should not be too long to avoid heatstroke. The duration of each exercise should not exceed 30 minutes. If you need to exercise for a longer time, you should rest for a while every 20 minutes or so and drink an appropriate amount of light salt water.

Don't exercise in strong sunlight

The ultraviolet rays in the summer sun are particularly strong. If human skin is exposed to this for a long time, it may cause 1st to 2nd degree burns. In addition, ultraviolet rays can penetrate the skin and bones, radiate to the meninges and retina, and cause damage to the brain and eyeballs. Therefore, when exercising in summer, it is best to choose the time in the morning or evening when the sunlight is weaker, or to do it in the shade.

Do not perform high-intensity exercise in a small air-conditioned room

When people exercise, their body temperature rises, their metabolism speeds up, their pores open, and they sweat on their body surface. If they are in an unventilated and cold air-conditioned environment, the cold and heat will compete with each other, making it easy to get sick.

Don't drink a lot of water right after exercise

We sweat a lot when exercising in the summer. If we drink a lot of water immediately after exercising, it will increase the burden on the circulatory system, digestive system, and especially the heart. At the same time, drinking a lot of water will increase sweating and further lose salt, causing symptoms such as cramps and convulsions.

Don't take a cold shower immediately after exercise

After a workout, many people like to rinse their face, wash their hair, or even take a shower with cold water. When exercising in the summer, the capillaries in the skin expand greatly to help the body dissipate heat. At this time, sudden cold stimulation will cause the open pores on the body surface to suddenly close, causing dysfunction of internal organs, abnormal temperature regulation of the brain, etc.
