Cause: Anemia causes the total amount of red blood cells in the body's circulating blood to decrease to below normal values. During exercise, there are not enough red blood cells to transport nutrients and oxygen, leading to dizziness after exercise.

Vigorous exercise will cause the body's blood vessels to dilate. If there is not a large amount of blood replenishment at this time, it will lead to a relatively insufficient blood supply, thereby aggravating dizziness.

How to prevent and treat dizziness after strenuous exercise?

(1) Diet adjustment: Dietary nutrition should be reasonable, food must be diversified, the menu should be wide, and you should not be picky eaters. Otherwise, anemia may be caused by the lack of certain nutrients. It should be nutritious and easy to digest. Diet should be regular and moderate, and overeating is strictly prohibited. Eat more iron-rich foods, such as pork liver, pig blood, lean meat, dairy products, beans, rice, apples, green leafy vegetables, etc. Drinking more tea can supplement folic acid and vitamin B12, which is beneficial for the treatment of megaloblastic anemia. However, people with iron deficiency anemia should not drink tea because drinking tea is not conducive to the body's absorption of iron supplements. Appropriate supplementation of acidic foods is beneficial to the absorption of iron. Avoid spicy, raw, cold and indigestible foods. You can usually take nourishing food therapy to nourish your body.

(2) Combine work and rest and engage in appropriate physical activities.
