Disadvantages of running to lose weight

Running is a relatively good method for losing weight. It is a very simple form of exercise, but it is very effective in losing weight. Moderate running for weight loss can achieve a very good effect. Generally, it will not affect the health of the body. However, you must also be careful when running, do what you can, pay attention to adequate rest, avoid catching cold when sweating, and avoid catching a cold.

No squatting rest

If you squat down to rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder the blood return to the lower limbs, affect blood circulation, and deepen the body's fatigue. This situation is more common in activities that involve high intensity of exercise, such as long-distance running. The correct approach is to do more relaxation and clean-up activities after each exercise, such as slow walking and stretching legs.

Don’t take cold showers (or swim) when you are sweating profusely.

When you sweat profusely after exercise, the capillaries on the surface of the body expand and a large amount of heat is dissipated from the body. If you encounter cold water at this time, your capillaries will suddenly contract, which can easily reduce the body's resistance and cause illness.

Don’t “skip” tidying up activities

Whenever you feel exhausted after each exercise, you should relax appropriately, such as doing calisthenics, walking, relaxing massage, etc., which will help eliminate muscle fatigue and quickly restore physical strength.

Don’t be greedy for cold drinks

A lot of calories are lost during exercise, and it is understandable that they need to be replenished urgently. However, the human digestive system is still in a suppressed state after exercise. Eating a lot of cold drinks can easily cause gastrointestinal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and easily induce gastrointestinal diseases.

Do not eat immediately

During exercise, blood throughout the body is redistributed, which weakens gastrointestinal motility and greatly reduces the secretion of various digestive glands. If you eat immediately without resting after exercise, it can easily cause disorders and functional disorders in the human digestive system, making you prone to illness.

Not smoking

When exercising, a person's breathing speeds up, and the body needs to ensure adequate oxygen intake. If you smoke immediately after exercise, the oxygen content in the lungs will decrease, causing symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and fatigue.

Do not drop body temperature suddenly

If the temperature outside is high, you will feel hot and unbearable after exercise. If you immediately go into an air-conditioned room or a vent to cool off and take a nap, it will disrupt the normal physiological regulation function and cause physiological dysfunction, making you prone to colds, diarrhea, asthma, wind-cold arthritis and other diseases.

Don’t take a hot shower right away

After fitness exercise, a large amount of blood in the body is distributed to the limbs and body surface. If you take a hot bath immediately at this time, it will increase the blood flow to the body surface, causing insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, and there is a risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
