What to do if you experience a pre workout crash

When you experience a pre workout crash, it can be hard to know what’s going on. Is it just your body adjusting to the stimulant? Or are these symptoms of something more serious? It can be difficult to tell without knowing how long this has been happening or if there have been other changes in your lifestyle that could have caused it. If you suspect that this is not just due to a stimulant but instead may signal an underlying health problem, please speak with a medical professional and get evaluated as soon as possible!

If this is a one time thing that you think might be caused by using too much stimulant, the following tips may help you get through it. When experiencing a pre workout crash while exercising, try extending your warm up period (especially if you don’t normally do so).

  1. Stay hydrated!

Many people don’t drink nearly enough water in the days leading up to their workout. While you might think that drinking a lot of water during your workout will make you feel bloated or heavy, this is actually not true. Drinking plenty of water before and during your workout can help prevent dehydration!

  1. Stay warm!

When you’re exercising, your body temperature rises. You may be tempted to put on a sweater or wrap yourself up in a blanket when that happens, but it’s probably not a good idea. The last thing you want to do is wrap yourself up in too many layers of clothing because you may end up getting overheated and that’s not a good way to start your workout. A simple solution? Get yourself some good quality sweat bands or wristbands (available in many different colors).

  1. Don’t rush!

Everyone gets excited when they get into the gym and see everyone else working out. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if you can get your workout done early, you’ll have more time to enjoy yourself later on!

Function And Classification Of Carbohydrates

Image
Carbohydrates, also known as carbohydrates, glucides or saccharides, are molecules whose structure is composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen and whose main function is to provide energy to the organism, since 1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 kcals, constituting 50 to 60% of the diet. Some foods containing carbohydrates are rice, oatmeal, honey, table sugar, potatoes, among others, and can be classified according to the composition of their molecules in complex and simple carbohydrates.  Functions in the organism Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the organism because during their digestion glucose is generated, being this the preferred fuel for the cells of the organism, since they degrade this molecule and ATP is produced, which is used in the various metabolic processes for the proper functioning of the organism. Glucose is mainly used by the brain, using 120 g per day, which represents the majority of the 160 g of glucose that the body needs daily.  In addition to th...

Bariatric Surgery: What It Is, Types And Risks

Image
Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical techniques used to treat excess weight, where the digestive system is altered in order to reduce the amount of food that enters the body and to modify the natural process of digestion, facilitating weight loss and improving or curing diseases associated with obesity.  There are several surgical techniques which can be restrictive or restrictive and malabsorptive at the same time. The restrictive techniques will only allow to reduce the amount of food ingested due to the reduction of the stomach volume. In the case of restrictive and malabsorptive techniques, in addition to reducing the size of the stomach, the intestine is also modified to reduce the absorption of nutrients, thus reducing the calories that enter the body. Because it is an invasive type of surgery, bariatric surgery is only indicated when the person has already tried to lose weight using other methods without obtaining any results, or when the excess weight puts the individual...
