5 things you should never do after a strenuous workout

  Some people feel comfortable eating sweets or sugar water after strenuous exercise, and they think that eating more sweets after exercise is good for them. In fact, eating too many sweets after exercise will consume a lot of vitamin B1 in the body, and people will feel tired and have a loss of appetite, which will affect the recovery of physical strength. Therefore, it is best to eat more foods containing vitamin B1 after strenuous exercise, such as vegetables, liver, eggs, etc.

  2. Do not take a bath immediately

  In order to maintain a constant body temperature after strenuous exercise, the human body skin Surface blood vessels dilate, sweat pores enlarge, and perspiration increases to facilitate heat dissipation. At this time, if you take a cold bath, the blood vessels will immediately contract due to sudden stimulation, the blood circulation resistance will increase, and the body's resistance will decrease at the same time, making people prone to illness. Taking a hot bath will continue to increase the blood flow in the skin. Too much blood will flow into the muscles and skin, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. In mild cases, it will cause dizziness, in severe cases, collapse and shock, and it can easily induce other chronic diseases. disease

  3. Can’t rest immediately

  During strenuous exercise, the human heart beats faster, muscles and capillaries expand, and blood flow accelerates. At the same time, the rhythmic contraction of muscles squeezes small veins, causing blood to flow back to the heart quickly. If you stop to rest immediately at this time, the rhythmic contraction of the muscles will also stop, and the large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles will not flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, causing blood pressure to drop, causing temporary ischemia in the brain, causing palpitation, shortness of breath, dizziness, paleness, and even shock and fainting.

  4. Don’t drink alcohol to relieve fatigue

  After strenuous exercise, a person's body functions will be at a high level. Drinking alcohol at this time will cause the body to absorb alcohol components faster and enter the bloodstream, which will cause more harm to the liver, stomach and other organs than usual. This can cause long-term fatty liver , liver cirrhosis, gastritis, gastric ulcer, dementia and other diseases. Drinking beer after exercise is not good either. It will increase uric acid in the blood, causing great irritation to the joints and causing inflammation.

  5. Don’t drink too much to quench your thirst.

  When thirsty after strenuous exercise, some people drink cold water or other beverages, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and dilute gastric juice. This not only reduces the bactericidal effect of gastric juice, but also hinders the digestion of food. Drinking water too fast will also increase blood volume too quickly, suddenly increasing the burden on the heart, causing temporary disturbances in electrolytes such as potassium and sodium in the body, and even heart failure, chest tightness and abdominal distension.
