Why does my body itch when I run?

Some people will experience some abnormal conditions after running. Not only will they fail to exercise their bodies, but they will irritate their skin, making their bodies itchy. When they scratch their bodies with their hands, their bodies will become particularly red. This is basically caused by not exercising for a long time. Let us now understand why our bodies will itch after running.

1. You haven't exercised for a long time and have just started running. Your leg muscles need to provide you with the power to run, and the muscles will produce heat. But when the muscles are tense and irritate the skin, it may feel itchy, like ants crawling on it.

2. You do not do sufficient preparation before running, and once you start, the speed is relatively fast. The thigh muscles have to adapt to your exercise intensity in a very short period of time, which leads to leg discomfort.

Solution:

1. Make adequate preparations before running, and after starting, gradually increase the speed.

2. Keep going, and once your body gradually adapts, the feeling of heat, itchiness and crawling ants in your legs will disappear.

Pay attention to your diet and avoid triggers. The onset of urticaria has a certain relationship with diet, and certain foods may be triggers. For example, fish, shrimp and seafood, canned food, pickled food, beverages containing artificial colors, preservatives, yeast and other artificial additives can induce urticaria. In addition, irritating foods such as overly sour and spicy foods will also reduce the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, causing food residues to stay in the intestines for too long, thereby producing peptones and polypeptides, increasing the chance of human allergies.

Pay attention to hygiene and avoid adverse stimulation. People with a history of urticaria should pay attention to keeping indoor and outdoor areas clean and hygienic, and keep fewer pets such as cats and dogs at home. Avoid inhaling pollen, dust, etc. You should avoid wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, insects and poisons at times. Adapt life patterns to changes in the external environment. Drinking, heat, emotional excitement, exertion, etc. will aggravate the dilation of blood vessels in the skin, triggering or aggravating urticaria. Rubber gloves, hair dyes, perfumed soaps and detergents, chemical fiber and wool clothing, etc. may become adverse irritations for people with allergies or urticaria and should be avoided. People suffering from cold urticaria should not go to the beach or take cold baths, and should keep warm in winter. Patients with cholestatic urticaria should keep their body cool and avoid sweating. According to relevant research, the positive rate of IgE in the blood and skin tests of smokers is significantly higher than that of non-smokers, and the allergic reactions caused by passive smoking such as their children are also relatively increased. Therefore, people with urticaria should stop smoking.

The above article tells us in detail why our body feels itchy when running. This is because our muscles suddenly become highly tense due to relaxation, which will irritate the surface of our skin, causing it to be particularly itchy. Therefore, it is best to make some adequate preparations.
