What is the best drink after swimming

Swimming is good for physical and mental health. Everyone who chooses sports will choose swimming. Exercise can help people exercise their respiratory system and greatly improve their lung capacity. Everyone knows that you can't eat casually after exercise, and swimming is no exception, because carelessness will damage your health. So people should pay attention to diet after swimming, which can make the body healthier. So what's the best thing to drink after swimming?

It is best to drink warm water with some iodized salt after swimming. Avoid drinking large amounts of cold drinks after exercise. After exercise, blood throughout the body is redistributed, with a large amount of blood rushing to the muscles and body surface to supply the needs of exercise, while the digestive organs receive relatively less blood. If you drink a lot of frozen drinks at this time, due to the low temperature, it will strongly stimulate the stomach which is in a temporary anemic state and damage its physiological functions. In mild cases, you will experience loss of appetite, and in severe cases, it will lead to acute gastritis, and further cause chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases.

Because the body's muscles need a lot of nutrition after swimming, the blood in the body will flow to the muscles of the limbs, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract to digest and absorb food. If you eat immediately after exercise, it can easily cause indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases.

Therefore, it is best to eat 40 minutes to 1 hour after swimming. However, if you swim at night, it is best to eat a banana or light vegetables and fruits (such as cold dishes and salads, without too much seasoning and salad dressing) after swimming to prevent fat accumulation. After swimming and fitness, don't eat anything greasy or filling. It's best to eat some fruits with a clear taste. You can eat some low-sugar cucumbers, cherries, apples, etc. to supplement some energy. Moreover, after swimming, the sugar, fat, and protein in the body are broken down in large quantities, and lactic acid is produced in the decomposition process, which makes people feel sore muscles and joints and mental fatigue. Eating alkaline foods can relieve the symptoms.
