So this practice is really healthy? Today we will talk about this issue in detail.

First of all, the conclusion that the combination of “staying up late and working overtime + exercise” not only can not bring health to our body, but also aggravate the burden on our body, bringing unexpected health damage. Why is this so? Let’s start with staying up late.

01

Staying up late is harmful

Many young people in modern society are under great pressure, it seems that every day is an endless work, staying up late has become a routine. Some studies have shown that often stay up late will lead to a decline in our immunity, dull face, vision loss, gastrointestinal disorders, forgetfulness and insomnia and other late-night syndrome, threatening our physical and mental health.

Long-term stay up late is also easy to make the crowd is easy to get fat. Because when we stay up late, the body’s hormone levels will undergo a brief disruption, a hormone level that stimulates appetite will be elevated, that is, when we stay up late always like to eat something, the longer we stay up late, the more we want to eat, a mouthful of …… two mouthfuls of time, the scale should be alarmed.

Exercise, not after a late night

Because there are so many hazards of staying up late, so some friends are thinking about it, since staying up late is not good for the body, and fitness is good for the body, then we stay up late, more exercise, not to offset the harm of staying up late? Unfortunately, the ideal is very rich reality is very bone, this is never a good idea.

Here we need to emphasize is that we through long-term exercise to control weight, improve their own immunity, the idea itself is feasible and effective, but can not be immediately after staying up late for heavy exercise. If you stay up late, you should first get enough sleep to let your body recover to a better state before exercising. Because our body needs enough sleep to enter a state of deep relaxation, which can help to restore physical strength and energy.

If the state is not good and still forced to exercise, it will bring harm to the body. The reasons are mainly in the following aspects:

First of all, in the large intensity of the exercise, our muscles will be strong contraction, our body’s blood circulation system will be running at high speed, the body surface of the capillaries in the expansion of the state, the body itself is not a light burden. And stay up late and then exercise, will bring a heavy burden to our body.

This is because after staying up late, the cardiovascular system has been somewhat overloaded, the rhythm of the heart beat is disturbed, the cardiovascular can not be rested, and then carry out high-intensity exercise will further stimulate the heartbeat to accelerate and increase blood pressure, it is easy to induce various types of cardiovascular disease due to overload of the heart or blood vessels, even if there is no history of heart disease or hidden heart disease of the population, but also because of the burden of overburdening, increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction. For example, in the recent news, there are frequent overtime employees collapsed in the company gym tragedy.

In addition, high-intensity exercise after staying up late is also prone to the occurrence of various types of sports injuries. After staying up late, our spirit is in a deep psychological fatigue stage, the external manifestation of poor concentration, thinking inefficiently, if this time and then carry out high-intensity exercise, easy to lead to movement irregularities, which will increase the possibility of various types of sports injuries.

What exactly should I practice after a late night?

Many people have the habit of regular exercise, may be one day because of work reasons had to work late, when the completion of the day’s work also want to exercise to relax, but the previous article and said, after staying up late after the big intensity of the exercise has so many disadvantages, this situation should be how is good?

First of all, re-emphasize, stay up late should first have a good sleep, to recover from work and bring physical and mental fatigue and then exercise, occasionally less exercise once will not affect the state of the body. Even if some friends are very self-disciplined, do not want to break the law of exercise due to occasional overtime work, it is also recommended to make the appropriate adjustments to reduce the intensity and volume of exercise in the exercise.

For example, you can choose all kinds of stretching exercise or low-intensity jogging, swimming and other aerobic exercise, and the exercise process must be strictly controlled exercise intensity. Generally you can monitor the intensity of exercise by monitoring the heart rate during exercise, and the exercise heart rate should be strictly controlled below (220 – age) x 60% of the heart rate, so that our cardiovascular system will remain in a relatively safe range of intensity.

Finally, it is re-emphasized that if you can stay up late, don’t stay up late, and if you have to stay up late, the best way to recover is also sleep rather than exercise. Exercise is best scheduled after adequate rest, do not force yourself to sleepy eyes strenuous exercise.
