What should you not do after exercise?

Although our living standards have improved now, the health of many people is deteriorating. This symptom occurs because people forget to exercise because of work. Therefore, the editor suggests that everyone should learn more about the benefits of exercise and how to exercise. However, some people around me know how to exercise, but they often ignore some precautions after exercise.

NO.1 Don’t squat to rest

This is a very common practice. When you feel tired after exercise, you squat or sit down thinking that you can save energy and rest. In fact, this is a wrong practice. If you squat down to rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder blood return to the lower limbs, affect blood circulation, and deepen muscle fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock may occur.

NO.2 Don’t be greedy for cold drinks

Exercise often makes people sweat profusely, especially in summer. With the consumption of a large amount of water, people always feel dry mouth and urgent need to drink water after exercise. Most of them are young people, and most of them like to buy some cold drinks to cool off and quench their thirst. However, the human digestive system is still in a suppressed state and the digestive function is low.

NO.3 Don’t eat immediately

During exercise, especially intense exercise, the motor nerve center is in a highly excited state. Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system that manages the activities of internal organs strengthens the inhibition of digestive system activities. At the same time, during exercise, blood throughout the body is redistributed and supplied more concentratedly to the needs of the motor organs, while the supply to the organs in the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced.

NO.4 Don’t drop your body temperature suddenly

During exercise, blood vessels on the body's surface dilate, body temperature rises, pores dilate, and perspiration increases. If you walk into an air-conditioned room or take a nap in the air vent immediately after exercise, or rinse your head with cold water to cool down, your skin will tighten and sweat will stop, causing physiological dysfunction such as temperature regulation, and a decrease in immune function, leading to colds, diarrhea, asthma and other symptoms.

Just like we need to do some warm-up exercises before exercising, there are also some things we need to pay attention to after exercising. If you didn’t know the precautions mentioned above, you might as well read more now, because we also need to pay attention to and take care of our health after exercise. I believe it will be very helpful for your future exercise and fitness!
