Practice hot yoga and sweat to prevent heat stroke

The weather became hot, and some people rushed to get into the air-conditioned room, but some people just wanted to sweat happily. Will practicing high-temperature yoga in an indoor setting at 38-42 degrees Celsius cause heat stroke or other dangers?

Spend money on sweat flow

Juanzi, who works in a certain building, also lives an ordinary white-collar life, spending 8 hours a day in an air-conditioned and shady office. What's interesting is that when she goes out, she will cry that it's hot to death. She actually spends money to get a fitness card and goes to the yoga studio every night to contact hot yoga to buy one and go home sweating profusely.

The scorching sun these few days is already poisonous enough, but we still have to spend money to "fight against the high temperatures". Isn't this self-abuse? Her colleagues were very puzzled by Juanzi's move. But Juanzi said that if you are sweating profusely at work, it must be very uncomfortable. But not sweating in the body is not good for health. When doing hot yoga, you can not only sweat profusely, but also lose weight. This is very attractive to me.

A few days ago, the reporter learned from some fitness centers and professional yoga clubs in urban areas that the number of students who came to practice hot yoga did not decrease because of the hot weather, among which white-collar workers were the most. "White-collar workers cool off in air-conditioned rooms while spending money on sweat, which is also a unique landscape in the city." A fitness instructor teased.

Heat stroke due to excessive temperature

During practicing high-temperature yoga, it will cause a lot of sweating and easily cause dehydration. For a normal person, practicing high-temperature yoga for one hour can consume one liter of water in the body. If you don't drink enough water, your body will develop heatstroke symptoms such as dehydration, nausea and confusion. Continued practice may lead to coma.

Hot yoga will make practitioners sweat a lot, and the process of sweating is also the process of detoxification of the body, which is the most obvious health effect. At the same time, yoga has the effect of slimming, and hot yoga is carried out at high temperatures, which increases the consumption of the human body, so the effect of losing weight is more obvious. In addition, some movements of hot yoga can adjust the thyroid gland and promote fat metabolism.

High-temperature yoga is carried out in a relatively closed environment. Although a high-temperature environment can cause the human body to sweat a lot, if ventilation is poor, the human body can easily be dehydrated and cause heatstroke. It is best not to engage in this kind of exercise when you are physically exhausted, especially for some patients with heart disease.

Water replenishment homework should be in place

After completing hot yoga, the blood supply required by various organs in the body increases. At this time, the burden on the heart is heavy, which may cause the blood supply of some organs to fail to keep up. The stomach is one of them. If you drink a lot of water at this time, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on your stomach. The correct way to do this is to drink a large glass of water before starting the exercise, and to replenish water in time during the contact process. In addition, do warm-up before practice to increase the elasticity of muscles, ligaments, and tendons, and reduce muscle sprain and ligament strain caused by insufficient warm-up. If you feel dizzy, nausea and discomfort, you should pause, stay away from the hot environment, and rest in a place where the air is flowing.

In addition, pregnant women, the elderly and children under the age of 12 should not practice high-temperature yoga. Because children's body temperature regulation function is poor, they cannot maintain the normal dynamic balance of heat production and heat dissipation, resulting in poor sweating and slow heat dissipation. The elderly's heat resistance is also lower than that of adults. These two groups of people are prone to heatstroke in a high-heat environment. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
