Can I drink a lot of water during exercise?

Many people have had this experience: they feel very tired, thirsty and hungry after exercise. However, they do not know how to treat their bodies scientifically, which causes unnecessary harm. We sweat a lot after exercise and the water in our bodies is quickly excreted from the body. So, can we drink water after exercise? Today I will discuss with you what we should and should not do after exercise, and whether we can drink plenty of water?

Exercise can cause people to sweat a lot and become dehydrated. After physical exercise, teenagers often drink a lot of cold water. Due to improper drinking, they may suffer from abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Drinking water during and after physical exercise is very important. Correct drinking methods and suitable beverages have a great impact on the physical health and development of adolescents. During sports, normal drinking water should not be restricted. It should be "how much is lacking, how much is replenished" to meet the normal needs of the group. The so-called "how much" can usually be determined based on personal thirst. In practical applications, you can drink small amounts of water frequently, with intervals of 20 to 30 minutes. The amount of water you drink can be 150 to 200 ml per time.

For teenagers, about 3 to 4 large mouthfuls. In addition, you can also drink 400 ml of water, which is about a can of water, 10 to 15 minutes before exercise. Avoid drinking a large amount of water at one time after exercise, because a large amount of cold water has a strong irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, and excessive dilution of gastric juice will affect digestion ability.

For strong thirst, you can gargle with cold water to eliminate it.

In addition to the proper way of drinking water, the composition and physical properties of the beverage are also important. Beverages can be boiled water, tea, sugary drinks, etc. From the perspective of economy and practical effects, tea and boiled water are the best. When the human body is dehydrated, sugar-free tea and boiled water are absorbed the fastest. As for salt, it can be supplemented from food, so there is no need to consider drinking water during exercise.

In addition, the temperature of the beverage should not be too low, usually 8-14 degrees is appropriate. Too low a temperature often causes cramps. In short, when drinking during and after sports activities, just drink small amounts and multiple times in accordance with your own drinking habits to meet your body's needs.

In fact, everyone will drink water after exercise, but as long as you remember to drink water scientifically and not too much, it will not cause harm to the body. Scientific exercise will make our body healthier, make us like exercise, and establish a good habit.
