What are the advantages and disadvantages of swimming?

Swimming is one of our most common sports. In our daily life, there is still a considerable number of people who love swimming, and some even more persistent people do not hesitate to swim in the ice and snow in order to achieve the purpose of physical exercise. However, winter swimming is something you have to adapt to by swimming every day from the summer, so friends should not go winter swimming blindly. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of swimming.

Benefits: Swimming can help you lose weight, increase your body's resistance, regulate your cardiopulmonary function, and has some benefits for regulating your endocrine system.

Disadvantages: If you do a lot of exercise for a long time, it will make your muscles very developed.

Swimming exercise is to overcome the resistance of water rather than gravity, so muscles and joints are less likely to be injured. When swimming, the action of water makes it easier for blood from the limbs to flow back to the heart, increasing the heart rate. Long-term swimming will increase the motility of the heart and make its contraction stronger. Swimming can improve the body's temperature regulation function and prevent colds. If you already have a cold, do not swim, otherwise you are prone to diseases such as myocarditis.

Who shouldn't swim?

People who suffer from serious diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, tuberculosis, etc. and cannot withstand high amounts of exercise. Patients with infectious diseases such as trachoma, otitis media, and skin diseases may cause trouble to others. It is not advisable to swim immediately after a meal or after drinking, because the pressure of water and cold stimulation on the stomach can easily cause cramping abdominal pain, which can cause chronic gastroenteritis over time. You can swim forty minutes after a meal. It is not advisable to swim during menstruation. If you have protective equipment and are used to swimming, you can swim, but the time should not be too long.

Through the above introduction, I believe friends have a general understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of swimming. In general, swimming is a very healthy and green sport suitable for men, women, young and old. Female friends who are worried about sagging breasts due to gravity when doing ground exercises can also choose swimming as a form of daily fitness exercise.
