Should the elderly drink water before exercising in the morning?

　　Summer is coming, lots of elderly They all choose to go outdoors for morning exercises in the morning. Can I drink water before morning exercise? The fitness instructor said: This is exercise Not healthy , the editor is here today to introduce to you an indispensable preparation before exercise.

　　Do you need to drink water before exercising?

　　The idea that drinking water is good for your health is increasingly accepted by people. What I mean by drinking water is not to drink water when you are thirsty, but to establish a scientific concept of drinking water.

　　Many elderly people have a good habit of exercising in the morning. Morning is indeed a good time to exercise, but I advise you not to get up too early, because four or five o'clock in the morning is the period when the human body's basal metabolism is at its lowest level. Exercise at this time will not only be difficult to mobilize the body's positive factors, but also easily induce disease Appear. Also don’t go out too quickly after getting up, because after a night’s sleep, the human body undergoes stress due to breathing, urination and skin Through evaporation, a lot of water in the body is lost, resulting in insufficient blood volume, increased blood viscosity, and microcirculation stasis.

　　Exercise in this state can easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially people with high blood pressure and heart disease should pay more attention. Drinking water in the morning can change these adverse factors. At this time, the human body's gastrointestinal tract is in an empty state. Drinking water can be quickly absorbed and penetrated into the cell tissue, allowing the body to replenish sufficient water, return blood circulation to normal, and smooth microcirculation. It also promotes liver and kidney function metabolism and cleans the body of garbage, thus improving the body's disease resistance and greatly reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　Drinking water is good for your health, not just in the morning. In fact, for middle-aged and elderly people, drinking two or three glasses of water 30 to 60 minutes before each meal is helpful in preventing high blood pressure, Hyperlipidemia It is very effective in lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.

　　The method of drinking water is very simple. Drink 500 to 1000 ml of fresh warm water after getting up every morning. If you can't drink 500 to 1000 ml of water at the beginning, it doesn't matter. Take your time, start with 200 ml of water, and gradually adapt to it and then increase it until the body needs 500 to 1000 ml.

　　Reminder: Drink water slowly so as not to feel bloated. Because gastrointestinal peristalsis is very slow when the human body is sleeping and is also in a state of repair, so the gastrointestinal tract needs to be given a process to adapt to movement. The amount of exercise should not be too large after drinking water. The amount and method of exercise should be selected according to your age and personal condition. Generally, it is not recommended to exercise so much that you sweat profusely. It is better to sweat slightly.
