Running on an empty stomach in the morning will cause some people to have symptoms of hypoglycemia, and sugar is the most economical and direct energy source for human running. Hypoglycemia can cause various uncomfortable symptoms, such as palpitation, sweating, trembling hands and feet, etc. If this happens, you must make up sugar as soon as possible (such as eating a piece of sugar) to make your blood sugar rise as soon as possible. Therefore, we should pay attention to the supplement of sugar and water during running, especially long-distance running, which is the guarantee of human internal environment and energy supply.
The reason why running on an empty stomach is discouraged is that if you run to lose weight, you will consume more energy during running. If it is not supplemented in time, it may bring irreparable harm to the body, which will be harmful to the body in the long run. In addition, because running consumes too much, the hunger will be stronger after running, so it may make you eat more food unconsciously, increase the chance of weight gain, and lead to the opposite effect of running to lose weight.
Generally, you can run after breakfast for half an hour in the morning. Before running in the morning, you usually choose to eat some foods that contain more carbohydrates and are easy to digest, or eat some light salt water and boiled water, while those foods with high protein, greasy, nuts, fruits and vegetables are not suitable for eating, so you can run in the morning half an hour after breakfast.
Precautions for morning running:
1, you can drink some water before exercise, but you can't drink water immediately after exercise. Don't sit down immediately. Running will exercise calf muscles but it is better for thigh muscles.
2. Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks after exercise.
3, after the exercise, don't stop to rest immediately, insist on doing relaxation activities, such as jogging, so that the heart gradually returns to calm.
4. Don't drink plenty of water, eat cold drinks or take a cold bath immediately after the exercise.
5. It is not advisable to supplement pure water after exercise.
6. You shouldn't take a bath immediately after finishing exercise. The body has not returned to normal after exercise, so it is not appropriate to take a bath immediately, especially a hot bath.
7. You can't smoke immediately after running.
8. Drink juice and yogurt in time after exercise.
9. Long-distance running in winter, especially against the wind, do not open your mouth and breathe. It is best to breathe through your nose to prevent respiratory infections, inflammation and other diseases.
