Can I swim if I have stomach problems?

In the hot summer, people like to find some activities that can lower the temperature to kill time. Some people like to go swimming in the swimming pool, which can exercise the body and cool down the body. Many people who are not in good health want to know whether they are suitable for swimming. It would not be worth it if they damage their body for fun. Can I swim if I have stomach problems? People with stomach problems can do some winter swimming to relieve them.

1. Benefits of winter swimming:

1. It helps blood circulation throughout the body. When swimming, water can massage the body. When the skin is exposed to cold, it causes a vasoconstriction reaction, which can prevent and reduce the occurrence of arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in middle-aged and elderly people.

2. It can improve cold resistance and immunity. Swimming promotes metabolism, thereby improving the body's resistance to cold and thus preventing respiratory diseases.

3. It can enhance the function of respiratory organs and reduce or prevent respiratory diseases that are prone to occur in winter. The density of water is 800 times greater than that of air. People have to bear great pressure when swimming. Therefore, the respiratory muscles have to work hard to overcome the pressure of the water, deepen breathing, and increase lung capacity, thereby enhancing the ability to adapt to environmental stimuli and reducing the occurrence of diseases.

4. Regular participation in winter swimming has obvious effects on strengthening the body and anti-aging.

5. It is a very good exercise for weight loss. Among all kinds of weight loss exercises, swimming is an exercise worth recommending to everyone. People who swim regularly tend to have a muscular body, well-developed pectoral muscles, and a streamlined body shape. For those who can't swim, soaking in the water and having water fights can help them lose weight.

2. Winter swimming is good but not suitable for everyone:

Winter swimming is known as a "game for the brave", and more and more winter swimming enthusiasts are jumping into the freezing water, showing their "heroic qualities". However, Zhang Baocang, director of the office of the Winter Swimming Committee of the Chinese Swimming Association, said in an interview that although winter swimming has many benefits, it is not suitable for everyone.

3. Three groups of people are not suitable for winter swimming:

1. Children under 16 and seniors over 70 are not suitable for winter swimming due to their special physical conditions;

2. Mentally ill patients are not suitable for winter swimming due to their lack of self-control;

3. In addition, according to doctor's examination, people with serious organic diseases such as heart disease, coronary heart disease, tuberculosis, hepatitis, stomach disease and respiratory diseases are not suitable for winter swimming.

4. Winter swimming needs to pay attention to the following matters:

1. Be fully equipped.

In addition to swimsuits, goggles, swimming caps and other equipment, you must bring slippers when swimming in winter to avoid getting cold feet; bring a bath towel or towel to keep warm when resting or after bathing. In addition, the room temperature and humidity in the swimming pool are high, so it is recommended to wear relatively simple, easy-to-put-on and take-off clothes with good warmth retention to facilitate changing.

2. Sufficient preparation.

Compared to the summer, doing a good warm-up before swimming is key. In winter, due to the low temperature, the joints are relatively fragile, so you must move all the joints before going into the water. It is recommended to do more stretching exercises such as vertical jumping, shoulder stretching, and arm swinging, focusing on warming up the legs, arms, and waist to prevent cramps during swimming. Generally speaking, the warm-up time is about 5-10 minutes, until you feel your body slightly red and warm.

3. Please keep warm after resting, getting out of the water or showering.

Many swimmers do not pay attention to keeping warm during breaks or when going to the bathroom, causing their body temperature to drop rapidly, leading to colds. The human head is the easiest place to dissipate heat. If the hair is wet after getting out of the water or taking a shower, it is easy for heat to dissipate quickly. Therefore, you should put on a bath towel during breaks and after getting out of the water. After bathing, you should dry your hair and put on clothes in time. If conditions permit, it is best to use a hair dryer to dry your hair.
