What are the taboos of swimming?

Swimming is an aerobic exercise that can not only temper one's will and exercise the body, but also play a great role in weight loss. When swimming, the buoyancy, resistance and pressure of water can not only have a good massage effect on the human body, but also have a beauty effect on the skin. But swimming also has certain taboos. Next, let me tell you some taboos of swimming.

1. Avoid swimming before or after meals: Swimming on an empty stomach will affect appetite and digestive function, and may also cause unexpected situations such as dizziness and fatigue during swimming; swimming on a full stomach will also affect digestive function, and may also cause stomach cramps, and even vomiting and abdominal pain.

2. Avoid swimming after strenuous exercise: Swimming immediately after strenuous exercise will increase the burden on the heart; the sudden drop in body temperature will weaken the resistance and cause colds, pharyngitis, etc.

3. Avoid swimming in unfamiliar waters: When swimming in natural waters, avoid entering the water rashly. It is not advisable to swim in waters where the conditions around and under the water are complicated to avoid accidents.

4. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and swimming: Prolonged exposure to the sun will cause sun spots or acute dermatitis, also known as sunburn. To prevent sunburn, it is best to use an umbrella to block the sun after going ashore, or rest in the shade of a tree, or use a bath towel to protect your skin, or apply sunscreen to exposed parts of the body.

5. Avoid swimming without doing warm-up exercises: The water temperature is usually lower than body temperature. Therefore, you must do warm-up exercises before going into the water, otherwise it will easily lead to physical discomfort.

6. Avoid eating immediately after swimming: It is advisable to rest for a while before eating after swimming, otherwise it will suddenly increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which may easily cause gastrointestinal diseases over time.

7. Avoid swimming for too long: the skin generally has three reaction periods to cold stimulation. Phase 1: After entering the water, the skin’s blood vessels contract due to the stimulation of cold, and the skin color becomes pale. Phase 2: After staying in water for a certain period of time, the blood flow on the body surface expands, the skin turns from pale to light red, and the skin turns from cold to warm. The third stage: staying too long, the body temperature dissipates more than the heat generated, and goose bumps and chills appear on the skin. This is a taboo period for summer swimming, and you should get out of the water in time. Swimming should generally not last more than 1.5 to 2 hours.
