Why do many athletes end up not living long?
Many athletes end up not living long because of excessive exercise.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive exercise will greatly damage vitality and consume internal organs, which will not only lead to increased stress, but also weaken the body's ability to cope with stress and make diseases take advantage of it. For example, when sedentary people start exercising, if they overdo it, it will bring various side effects and even lead to serious consequences such as heart disease.

There is also evidence that when you are extremely tired, the digestive system cannot work normally, and indigestion is the root of many diseases. Excessive physical exercise will also increase the chances of respiratory tract infection, increase the chances of injury and chronic pain, and accelerate physical aging.

Researchers in Germany and Sweden have followed 45,000 people for more than ten years, and found that people who exercise a lot are twice as likely to die of heart disease or stroke as ordinary people. Running too much will make the heart produce too many platelets, block the coronary artery, block the blood vessels, produce blood reflux, cause some myocardial necrosis, and increase the possibility of heart disease.

Excessive exercise affects fertility:

Norwegian scholars have found that women who exercise excessively are three times more likely to have fertility problems than women who exercise properly. French scholars have found that if women run more than 30 miles a week on average, their menstrual cycle and ovulation will change, thus reducing the chance of pregnancy. In addition, excessive bumps will affect the production of sex hormones and affect pregnancy.

For men, high-intensity, large-scale exercise may damage the quality of sperm. Male brain, pituitary gland and testis interact to control reproductive ability, but excessive exercise will interfere with the normal function of this system. Cycling and other sports will also squeeze the reproductive organs such as scrotum and prostate, resulting in poor heat dissipation of scrotum and congestion of prostate, which will affect the production of normal sperm.
