How many times in recent months have we stressed the importance of jogging. Not only for physical health, but also for mental health. Especially if we choose extra-urban routes, in the midst of nature. Although it may seem like the simplest activity in this world, jogging at its best requires many small tricks. And, we are not referring to the technical material, however important, but to an own goal that many do. This clamorous mistake that few people know when we go jogging is enough to cancel all the benefits of the activity: running on an empty stomach.
Never jog on an empty stomach
Sports and food science doctors agree on this: never jog on an empty stomach. In fact, this clamorous mistake that few people know when we go jogging is enough to cancel all the benefits of the activity. The first thing that can happen to us is to feel weak and fatigued. Which makes us leave the training session. And already here, we cancel the benefit of the effort. Especially in these first almost summer days when the sun makes itself felt.
Without energy we go nowhere
Second thing, related to the first. If we feel tired, it means that we have no energy. And if we do not have energy, it means that we have not put gasoline into the physical for our engine. Here comes a simple but important concept. It’s one thing to skip the meal, it’s another to eat something nutritious before the activity. Two very different things. Three factors are crucial in this regard before our jogging session:
- do not take excess food;
- don’t assume the wrong one;
- do it at least one hour before the start.
Attention also to water
But, there is another fundamental factor especially in these hot days not yet summer but almost: drinking water. Those who think they are exercising without rehydrating are wrong. He’s wrong because even water gives energy and balances the loss of sali minerals. We do not make the mistake of doing a full workout without drinking, because the body will suffer.
