Men who have been living in the office for a long time are well aware of the benefits of exercise for themselves, so they highly value exercise and fitness. However, due to a lack of time, mistakes often occur during the fitness process.
And some of the taboos worth noting in these sports and fitness activities not only lead to the inability to achieve fitness results, but also harm one's own physical health. So, what are the taboos for men's sports and fitness? Let's take a look below.
Men's sports and fitness taboos:
1. Don't blindly participate in sports beyond your abilities
Don't blindly participate in fitness activities beyond your own abilities. You should choose sports within your abilities to exercise your body.
2. Do not do preparatory activities before exercising
The biggest taboo for men's fitness activities is not doing preparatory activities. Not doing preparatory activities not only easily damages muscles and bones, but also greatly reduces the effectiveness of fitness due to incomplete stretching of the tight skin.
3. Eating a lot of sugar
Some people like to eat sweets or sugar water during fitness activities, believing that it can help the body replenish energy. However, this is actually wrong because eating sweets and sugar water during fitness activities can cause a large consumption of vitamin B1 in the body, leading to fatigue, loss of appetite, and affecting physical recovery. Therefore, after fitness activities, one should eat more foods containing vitamin B1, such as vegetables, liver, eggs, and other foods.
4. Drinking alcohol
During fitness activities, most people feel very tired. Some people choose to drink alcohol during their leisure time to relieve fatigue, which is a major taboo for fitness activities. Drinking alcohol during fitness can easily cause diseases such as fatty liver, gastritis, gastric ulcers, and even dementia. Therefore, men who have a habit of drinking alcohol during fitness should change.
5. Immediate rest
Do not rest immediately after exercising, because if you rest immediately after exercising, the rhythmic contraction of muscles will stop. This way, a large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles cannot flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure, temporary ischemia of the brain, and even symptoms such as shock and fainting.
Fitness is for us to gain health, but if we cannot control it well, it can cause harm to our body, which is not worth it. Therefore, the editor reminds everyone that it is important to have good habits during fitness and maintain them well.
