Drinking too much water will reduce the osmotic pressure of blood, destroy the metabolic balance of water and salt in the body, affect the normal physiological function of human body, and even cause muscle spasm. Because in the process of exercise, it is necessary to increase the frequency of heartbeat and breathing to increase blood and oxygen to meet the needs of exercise.
Drinking plenty of water will make the stomach full, hinder the diaphragm activity and affect breathing; The increase of blood circulation increases the burden on the heart, which is not only bad for exercise, but also harmful to the heart. In addition, drinking more water will reduce the concentration of gastric acid and affect food digestion. Drinking water after strenuous exercise for a long time is easy to get stomach trouble.
