After doing a morning walk or any exercise, people often feel thirsty immediately. In such a situation, many people drink water immediately without thinking. But do you know that drinking water immediately after a walk is not good for your health? Most people are unaware that there is a right time and way to drink water after a workout.
Why should water not be drunk immediately after a walk?
When we walk or exercise, our body temperature increases and we sweat. During this, our blood circulation is fast and it takes some time for the body to cool down. If we drink water immediately, then many problems can occur. Let's know about them.
It can be hot and cold: Due to sudden decrease in the increased temperature of the body, you may have problems like cold or sore throat.
Can cause stomach pain: Drinking too much water at once due to extreme thirst can cause stomach pain or cramps.
Effect on digestion: Drinking water immediately can slow down the digestion process.
How long should you drink water after walking?
According to experts, water should be drunk only 20-30 minutes after finishing a walk or any exercise. During this, let your body cool down by sitting for a while or doing light stretching. It is right to drink water when your pulse rate becomes normal and sweating stops.
Follow these tips
Drink slowly: Instead of gulping down a lot of water at once, drink water slowly in sips.
Room temperature water: Avoid drinking cold water. Drinking room temperature water or lukewarm water is more beneficial.
Stay hydrated. Not only after the walk, drink enough water throughout the day so that your body always remains hydrated. If you sweat a lot, you can also drink coconut water or lemon water instead of plain water.
Drinking water at the right time and in the right manner helps your body recover and also gives you health benefits. So the next time you come back from a walk, wait for a while and then drink water leisurely.
