Exercise is a science, and there is only one point of scientific evidence. The body temperature rises during exercise, especially running uses many large muscles of the body. After running for a period of time, the body temperature rises immediately, and the body needs to take cooling measures, otherwise it will cause a heat coma. The main cooling measure of the body is sweating. The body temperature is taken away by the fluid flowing out of the body.
However, the toxins in the body are not excreted in this way, but after being transformed by the liver and kidneys, they are excreted in urine and feces, and fat-soluble toxic substances (such as polychlorinated biphenyls) are deposited in fat cells and cannot be excreted.
Exercise helps the body remove sodium
In addition to strengthening the muscles and bones, exercise is of great help to the body’s qi and blood circulation and metabolism. Among them, the function of “expelling excess sodium” is particularly worthy of attention.
The human body needs about 2000 mg of sodium a day. Excessive sodium will cause a burden on the kidneys. After a long time, the kidney function is seriously damaged and requires kidney dialysis.
In addition to the habit of taking over-the-counter medicines, dialysis patients also have a heavy salty diet. People in the early society had a lot of physical labor, and most of the transportation was walking or cycling, so even eating pickled food was not a big problem. Now life is convenient, physical activity is much reduced, and I like to eat delicious food, such as eating a bowl of beef noodles, the sodium intake may exceed a day’s needs, if you exercise and sweat, your body will eliminate excess sodium and keep your kidneys healthy. That’s the benefit of exercise.
Drink sports drinks after a lot of exercise
So unless you’re exercising a lot, such as running for more than an hour, playing basketball in the heat for hours, and sweating a lot, you don’t need a sports drink. In particular, don’t treat sports drinks as ordinary drinks, and drink them without a lot of exercise, which will increase the burden on the body.
Doing moderate-to-light exercise every day or every other day to allow your body to flush out excess sodium along with sweat is a great way to stay healthy.
Pick the right foods and avoid eating too much sodium
There are many opportunities for people to eat out, and choosing the right food is a necessary knowledge. The sizzling noodles in the breakfast shop, egg cakes sprinkled with a lot of pepper, lo-mei stalls, and fried chicken chops are all foods with heavy taste and high sodium content, and should be avoided. Don’t dip every dish in soy sauce in normal meals. It is best to develop a light-flavored eating habit, so as not to change the eating habit after it is finalized.
Controlling diet from the source, plus enough exercise and sweating, are two-pronged, and the body is naturally healthy.
