Men should remember the four things not to do after exercise

1. Can’t rest immediately

If you stop to rest immediately after strenuous exercise, the rhythmic contraction of the muscles will stop, and the large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles will not be able to flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, causing low blood pressure and temporary cerebral ischemia, leading to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale complexion, and even shock and fainting.

2. Do not take a bath immediately

If you take a cold shower immediately after exercise, the sudden stimulation will cause your blood vessels to constrict immediately, increasing blood circulation resistance and reducing the body's resistance, making you more susceptible to illness.

Taking a hot bath will increase the blood flow in the skin, and too much blood will flow into the muscles and skin, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. In mild cases, it may cause dizziness, and in severe cases, it may cause collapse and shock, and it may also easily induce other chronic diseases.

3. Avoid eating a lot of sugar

Some people feel comfortable eating sweets or sugary drinks after strenuous exercise, and think that eating more sweets after exercise is good for them. In fact, eating too much sweets after exercise will cause a large consumption of vitamin B1 in the body, causing people to feel tired, lose appetite, etc., which will affect physical recovery.

4. Do not drink alcohol to relieve fatigue

After strenuous exercise, a person's body functions will be in an excited state. Drinking at this time will cause the body to absorb alcohol faster and enter the blood, causing greater harm to organs such as the liver and stomach than usual.

Doing this for a long time can cause fatty liver, cirrhosis, gastritis, gastric ulcer, dementia and other diseases. Even drinking beer after exercise is not good because it will increase the uric acid in the blood, greatly irritate the joints and cause joint inflammation.

Do some cool-down exercises after exercise. When using the equipment, you should master the correct body posture, move with rhythm, and use it properly to avoid adverse effects on muscles, bones, nerves, etc. Moreover, it is worth reminding that it is best to eat more foods containing vitamin B1, such as vegetables, liver, eggs and other foods after strenuous exercise.
