The good weather is here and you want more than ever to move. But beware, depending on the area where we live heat can be a dangerous enemy.
Then we are going to give you 5 tricks, many of them
They will seem obvious, but who has ever experienced the dreaded heat stroke, a severe dehydration or insolation after practicing sports, will tell you that
You listen to us. There they go:
1. Change your schedules
Simply and plain, running at 3 in the afternoon according to which places
It is to play it and a lot.
The
Mornings They are calm (and fresh), you also have
The last hours of the afternoon When the sun still looks and the temperature has already dropped some degrees. In
This post You have the pros and cons at each schedule.
2. Avoid training by digestion
Or at least
Not so strong.
Keep in mind that blood is centered in helping to digest the food you have taken. Practicing sports with intensity we will be
forcing it to divide, causing a bad digestion and therefore the possibility of vomiting, with the
Dehydration that can cause. Does it sound bad right?
3. Clear colors, breathable fabrics
A classic In your summer closet.
Dark colors absorb more intensity the sun's rays, thus increasing the temperature. Using light colors we will make clothes "repeat" the light. The difference in degrees It is remarkable And we will appreciate it.
Demystified,
scientific studies support the opposite, dark colors do not necessarily increase our body temperature, even the lights can do so by producing a greenhouse effect between our body and the fabric, being clear and reflecting the heat.
What you should look for is clothes that ensure breathability, if you usually sweat with your jersey or t -shirt in normal temperatures
Forget it for summer, clearly. You will cause your sweating to increase, losing liquids and electrolytes
What will you need not to dehydrate.
4. Drive yourself before (and after!)
The next thing is not necessary to explain it, right?
:-)
Showering before with warm water, or even a fresh tad,
You will lower the temperature of your body. This will save you fatigue and increase your feeling of well -being by practicing sports.
5. Continuous hydration
This is
The key and inescapable point. If we have to pay attention to what we drink and eat with heat, we have to redouble efforts, always carrying
more liquid and food than normal.
We propose the following scheme at the time of
Plan the hydration:
- Half a liter of water and a capsule of Salts electrolytes 15 minutes before starting to move
- If we go by bike
- A drum with water to drink whenever we eat something
- A drum with ISOTONIC DRINK
- If we practice any other sport
- On days when heat squeezes especially we recommend taking 1 capsule of Salts electrolytes every hour
- Half a liter of water and Recovery Drink When finishing to replenish nutrients
