Can fitness and drinking lose muscle?
It is often heard that as long as alcohol is ingested, it will burn muscles, so many people start to quit drinking after fitness.
First of all, alcohol itself can't recognize our bodies. If drinking will take away muscles, then not only skeletal muscles that we have grown after training, but also visceral muscles such as myocardium and smooth muscle will be taken away. Then everyone who drinks may die in a second. This is obviously unrealistic, but alcohol will not directly take away our muscles, but it will indirectly produce similar effects.
1, alcohol and its metabolites are muscle toxins, which have a destructive effect on muscle cells and accelerate the metabolic decomposition of muscles;
2. Alcohol intake has a direct effect on the growth of muscle fibers after training;
3. After drinking alcohol, the synthetic speed of myofibrils after training obviously slows down, and the combination of the two will have a fatal impact on muscle growth;
Can fitness and drinking lose weight?
First of all, alcohol affects the fitness effect. During exercise, the human body uses glucose stored in the liver as fuel. The problem is that after drinking, alcohol is also metabolized through your liver, which means that drinking will inhibit the efficiency of glucose burning. So you can't get the energy you deserve for fitness, and the fitness effect will be greatly reduced.
In addition, alcohol will dehydrate your body, which requires more water and body fluids when you exercise. If you start exercising after drinking a glass of wine or beer, you will only be more short of water. Not only is it dangerous, but it will also reduce your physical fitness level.
Finally, drinking and exercising may put you at risk of injury. Reason: The body is in a "burning" state during exercise, and alcohol itself is an accelerant. The double effect means that you are more vulnerable.
Fitness precautions
No. 1
Necessary warm-up activities
You know, this is not the time to comb your hair and drink a glass of water. This is the necessary process before you start exercising. The more relaxed the muscles are, the more embarrassed they are to control and expand. Doing these exercises will reduce your chances of getting hurt. So it's best to spend 5- 10 minutes to get your body fully active and feel a little sweaty. You need to understand that this step is a good start for your fitness exercise.
second
Extremely necessary stretching exercise
There are always some things in life that are very easy to do, but stretching after fitness practice is not so simple. When you exercise your muscles, they become tense and shortened. Stretching is to help you relax your muscles, so as to prevent muscle soreness the next day. It should be noted that the best time to do this action is after you finish the warm-up exercise, and at the same time, each action lasts for 20 ~ 30 seconds, which helps you relax your muscles and get more meaningful stretching exercise.
third place
Overload weightlifting
If you blindly try to lift more than your body load, you may cause muscle strain, sprain and even hurt your back. From this point of view, it is more appropriate to choose a weight of 3-6 kg. Repeat the action at ordinary times 15 ~ 20 times. If you want to get strong muscles faster, you can also choose a slightly heavier weight, but repeat it 8 ~ 12 times. Remember not to rush for success, only by completing exercises in moderation can you achieve good results.
fourth
Active exercise
Since the purpose of fitness is to stay strong in the future, don't expect to win the "gold medal" at once. Therefore, when you find that your heart is beating too fast and you can't finish a sentence in one breath, it means that you have done too much exercise. Many coaches think this is the primary reason why most people give up halfway. Because once they feel that exercise brings them discomfort, it is difficult for them to stick to it.
How much wine is better to drink a day?
Before drinking, consult your doctor about whether your physical condition is allowed (especially for diabetics).
The recommended daily consumption for women is: 350ml of beer (or150ml, wine 12%, or 22ml, whisky 40%) within one bottle.
The recommended daily consumption for men is: 350ml of beer within two bottles (or 300ml, 12% wine, or 45ml, 40% whisky).
In addition, in order to avoid affecting exercise and effect, we suggest not to drink alcohol 4 hours before exercise and 2 hours after exercise.
