Swimming in the wild after autumn can easily hurt your body

The weather does not seem to be much cooler after the beginning of autumn, especially in recent days, the climate has been continuously hot and stuffy, so many people are still as cool as in the dog days, so they go to the open-air swimming pool to swim. Dr. Li, a Chinese Medicine Department of Jishuitan, said that the weather after the beginning of autumn is obviously different from summer. The open-air waters will be much cooler than before. Because the body temperature cannot be adapted, it is easy to cramp and catch a cold, so you must swim carefully in "wild swimming".

Swimming exercise can be changed into indoors

Doctor Li said that swimming can not only temper will, but also strengthen the body, it is a good exercise method and an activity that can be carried out all year round. However, outdoor swimming requires scientific exercise. For ordinary people, in terms of physical fitness, In the case of not very strong quality, swimming in other seasons should be done indoors except in high temperature summer.

This disinfectant can generally basically kill bacteria and viruses, which can ensure your own safety. You should also pay attention to wearing protective goggles to protect the cornea.

In addition, some common problems should also be dealt with. For example, the water temperature is generally lower than the body temperature when swimming, and you may catch a cold. Therefore, taking a shower before going into the water can make your body adapt to the water temperature.

If you are mentally nervous, the water is too cold, or stay in the water for too long, you may cramp. The preparation activities before going into the water should be sufficient, and don’t stay in the water for too long. Once cramps occur, don’t panic. For example, toe cramps, immediately bend your legs and pull your toes away and straighten them. When your calf cramps, take a breath first, lie on the water surface, hold your toes with your hands, and push your calf forward forcefully to stretch and relax; when your fingers cramp, clench your hands into fists, then spread them hard, and repeat this to get rid of them.

The swimming time is too long, blood gathers in the lower limbs, cerebral ischemia, the body consumes a lot of energy, and the body is too tired, which may cause dizziness. At this time, you should go ashore to rest immediately, keep your whole body warm, and drink some light sugar saline appropriately.
