The 3 best fruits to eat after running

In recent years, running and fitness have gradually become the most fashionable hobby for people who pursue health. Many people take time out in the morning and evening to run on greenways or by the lake in parks. After running, sometimes the body loses some essential elements, causing muscle tension and soreness. We can choose to eat fruits after running to replenish lost elements and relieve muscle soreness.

banana

Bananas can replenish sugar and calories for the human body, and are also an important source of tryptophan, vitamin B6 and elemental magnesium, which are important for eliminating nervous system fatigue and regulating the function of the hormone system. In addition, bananas contain a substance called biotin, which can boost people's spirits.

watermelon

Watermelon can relieve fatigue and muscle soreness after exercise. The citrulline it contains can produce a chemical reaction with enzymes in the human body and be converted into arginine, which is beneficial to the human circulation and immune system. Arginine can promote the production of nitric oxide and help relax blood vessels.

orange

Oranges are rich in various organic acids and vitamins, which can regulate human metabolism. 80% of oranges are water. They are also rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, beta-carotene and other substances. They can replenish water and replenish muscle damage caused by running.

4 things to note after running

1. No squatting and resting

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.

2. Don’t take a cold bath (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.

3. Don’t “omit” 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.

4. 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.
