Can I drink water after exercising to lose weight?

When we finish strenuous exercise, we will feel particularly thirsty. This is mainly because we consume a lot of water in the process, and the water in our body will be discharged with our sweat. Therefore, if we do not pay attention to replenish the water needed by our body at this time, it will cause dehydration. The degree of dehydration will increase with the extension of exercise time, so we must pay special attention.

If you don't drink enough water before exercise and don't pay attention to drinking water during exercise, you will become dehydrated, and the degree of dehydration will increase as the exercise time increases. For a person weighing 50 kg, dehydration of 0.5 kg will cause thirst; dehydration of 1 kg will cause severe thirst, discomfort, depression and loss of appetite; dehydration of 7.5 kg may be life-threatening. It seems that we really cannot underestimate the harm of water loss to the human body. It is best to choose boiled water or mineral water. Although hydration depends on the intensity of exercise, you should drink it slowly in small sips and the water temperature should not be too low.

Movement is the dynamic life. However, there are many things to pay attention to when exercising. For example, improper drinking of water after exercise can cause acute gastritis. People with poor stomachs should pay special attention to this. Drinking a lot of water after strenuous exercise will irritate the stomach and intestines, reduce gastrointestinal resistance, and cause gastritis.

Also, instead of drinking too much water after exercise, it is better to drink more water before exercise. Drink 500ml within 30 minutes before exercise. Rehydrate at intervals throughout your workout. You can drink a small amount of water whenever you rest. Don't wait until the end of exercise or when you feel thirsty to drink a lot.

Many people like to drink a lot of cold drinks after strenuous exercise, but they don’t know that this can easily cause acute gastritis. Large amounts of cold drinks can cause the temperature of the stomach and intestines to drop suddenly and dilute the gastric juice. In mild cases, it can cause indigestion; in severe cases, it can cause acute gastritis. Therefore, you should pay more attention to drinking water after exercise to avoid increasing the burden on your heart.

After exercise, people will sweat a lot and their bodies will be dehydrated. If they drink carbonated drinks immediately. Be careful of "exploding lungs". Many people like to drink frozen carbonated drinks after exercise. This is a big taboo after exercise because carbonated drinks contain a lot of carbon dioxide. Improper drinking can easily cause "exploding lungs".

However, we should try not to drink very cold water immediately after exercising, otherwise it will cause acute gastroenteritis in our body. Also, we cannot drink carbonated drinks immediately after exercising, because carbonated drinks contain a lot of carbon dioxide. So we can only drink some warm water slowly, and we cannot drink water too quickly.
