Running is a healthy exercise. What are the precautions for runners?

Running is a very popular leisure sport and fitness method. Many people like to get up early in the morning, and then run in the park or by the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery and breathing fresh air while exercising. Some people will choose to run or walk after dinner to exercise. Running has many benefits to the body, but in fact, there are some things to pay attention to when running. First, it is best to warm up before running. Before running, you can do stretching exercises. Leg lifting, side leg press and bending over to warm up will help to awaken muscles, make the body into an excited state, and improve the running effect. Second, you should not run when you are full or hungry. Running is a kind of exercise that can burn calories. Running in a hungry state is prone to physical weakness, hypoglycemia, fainting and other phenomena, so it is not suitable for strenuous exercise in a hungry state. On the contrary, after eating food, the food has not been fully digested and remains in the stomach. If you run at this time, you may have stomach pain, bloating, intestinal pain and other symptoms. Therefore, it is not suitable for running immediately after eating. It's best to start running an hour after dinner. Third, women are not suitable for strenuous running during menstruation. Women's physical resistance during menstruation is relatively low, and menstrual blood flows out. If you exercise too much during menstruation, it may lead to increased bleeding. Therefore, women need to combine work and rest during menstruation, and they can do moderate and slight exercise, such as walking and yoga, but strenuous running is not recommended.

Fourth, foggy days are not suitable for outdoor running. In foggy days, the air contains a lot of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms. When people's breathing ability increases, the harmful substances absorbed also increase accordingly. If you run outdoors at this time, you may have difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and other discomfort, especially those patients who have respiratory diseases themselves. In this case, the risk factor of running is higher, and it is best to stop running in foggy days.
