7 Ways To Prevent Exercise Sickness
If you really want to see drastic changes in your body, you have to push harder and harder. But there is a catch because the body can only take so much.
Thus, here are 7 ways to prevent exercise sickness:
1. Keep your diet balanced: Taking out carbs or fat from your diet is a sure fire path to sickness. You need the whole spectrum of nutrition for best results here. In fact, taking out carbs will prevent you from fully recovering from your workouts.
2. Lose weight slowly: Well, you don’t have to lose weight slowly per se, just make sure you aren’t losing it at lightning speed. You see, once you start losing weight at a super fast rate, your body begins to break down muscle.
3. Stay hygienic: Your body is in a constant war against foreign invaders even if you don’t feel it. And if you keep personal hygiene ultra high, you will give your body a much needed break and more resources to focus on exercise recovery.
4. Get a flu shot right when they are available: It takes minimal effort, costs very little and can save you weeks of sickness misery. If you have a simple way to prevent a potential bout of sickness, take it.
5. Eat before exercise: You don’t want to have a full course meal, but a moderate sized snack with protein, carbs and some fat will do the trick. Paradoxically, studies have shown that eating before exercise causes more fat loss.
6. Go liquid right after exercise: Because of increased body temperature, your drive to eat is blunted immediately after exercise. Yet at this time you need nutrients the most. So make sure you have a liquid source of calories immediately after your last set.
7. Take light symptoms seriously: You need to rest even if you have mild symptoms of impending sickness. Stay away from heavy training if you have a runny nose, body aches or any pains. Your body can only handle so much stress.
Staying healthy during your quest to get in shape is extremely important. After all, it only takes a single bout of sickness to take you out of the game for weeks!
