What should men in their forties pay attention to when exercising?

It is said that "a man is in his prime at 41", but few people know what kind of exercise is most suitable for a 40-year-old man to keep fit. At the same time, 40 is an age that is neither too old nor too young. There are many things to pay attention to when a 40-year-old man is keeping fit. If you are not careful during the fitness process, it will have a very important impact on your future life and health. So you should pay attention to protecting yourself when you are exercising. So, how should a 40-year-old man keep fit?

Four things you shouldn’t do after exercise

Can't rest immediately

If you stop to rest immediately after strenuous exercise, the rhythmic contraction of the muscles will stop, and the large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles will not be able to flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, causing blood pressure to drop and temporary cerebral ischemia, leading to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale complexion, and even shock and fainting.

Do not take a bath immediately

If you take a cold shower right after exercise, the sudden stimulation will cause blood vessels to contract immediately, increasing blood circulation resistance and reducing body resistance, making people more susceptible to illness. However, taking a hot shower will increase blood flow in the skin, causing too much blood to flow into the muscles and skin, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, causing dizziness in mild cases and shock in severe cases, and easily inducing other chronic diseases.

Don’t eat a lot of sugar

Some people feel comfortable eating sweets or sugary drinks after strenuous exercise, and think that eating more sweets after exercise is good. In fact, eating too much sweets after exercise will consume a lot of vitamin B1 in the body, and people will feel tired and have a poor appetite, which will affect physical recovery. Therefore, it is best to eat more foods containing vitamin B1, such as vegetables, animal liver, eggs, etc. after strenuous exercise.

Can't drink alcohol to relieve fatigue

After strenuous exercise, the body's functions will be in a state of hyperactivity. Drinking alcohol at this time will cause the body to absorb alcohol into the blood faster, causing more harm to organs such as the liver and stomach than usual. Long-term exposure to this can lead to fatty liver, cirrhosis, gastritis, gastric ulcers, dementia and other diseases.

I believe that everyone has a specific understanding of fitness for men in their forties from what I have introduced above. Therefore, men in their forties should choose the exercise that suits them and pay attention to the precautions when exercising, so that they can achieve better fitness results. I hope everyone can actively exercise and take responsibility for their own health. Let's start to join the ranks of exercise and fitness.
