No.2 After playing football, don't drink a lot of water and cold drinks

Playing football will cause the body's electrolytes to be lost with sweat. Many people habitually drink a lot of water and iced drinks after a game or physical exercise.

No.3 After kicking the ball, don't squat and rest immediately

After playing football, if you squat or rest immediately, it will inhibit the arterial circulation of the lower limbs, which will interfere with the blood circulation system and increase body fatigue. It may also cause blood flow to the limbs, blood pressure changes, and dizziness status. MTGRASS recommends that after exercise, do some low-calorie relief activities, or change the breathing rhythm, such as walking slowly or taking simple deep breaths, which can promote the return of blood from the hands and feet to the heart, speed up physical recovery and reduce fatigue.

During exercise, especially during strenuous activities, the motor centers remain highly active. Under its control, the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the activity of internal organs, also enhances the control of the activity of digestive system symptoms. During strenuous exercise, because a large amount of blood flow is distributed to the entire motor system, the blood flow speed of the digestive system slows down, and the function is also weakened. Therefore, eating immediately after exercising will affect the digestion and absorption of food, which is very bad for your health. Over time, it will also cause indigestion, chronic gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases. MTGRASS suggestion: After exercise, rest for about 20-30 minutes before eating. In terms of diet, foods rich in vitamin B1 are recommended, such as fruits and vegetables, liver and kidney of mammals, eggs, etc.
