Wow, you still want to exercise when you have a cold? Is this a test of the body's limits? Don't worry, let me tell you a different story.
At the end of the holiday, many people may have eaten a lot of food, but some people have caught a cold because of the journey. However, that doesn't stop them from wanting to get back into sports. After all, to stay in shape, exercise is essential. But can you still exercise after catching a cold? The question doesn't seem simple.
First of all, the key to whether you can exercise after a cold depends on the severity of the cold. Do you know how to tell if a cold is severe? In addition to going to the doctor, there is another tip, and that is the so-called "neck rule".
What is the Neck Rule? To put it simply, it is to use the neck as the dividing line and observe whether the symptoms of a cold occur above or below the neck. If it is only mild symptoms such as nasal congestion and sore throat, then you can try to do some light exercises, such as walking, jogging, etc.; But if you have severe symptoms such as fever, chest tightness, and weakness in your limbs, then you need to get some rest!
Of course, regardless of the severity of your cold, you should avoid strenuous exercise for long periods of time. Because when you have a cold and fever, your body's heat production is already in a state of significant increase, and if you do strenuous exercise at this time, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury, and the damage to the body can be imagined.
In addition, when you have a cold and fever, your body will be broken down in large quantities of proteins, vitamins and nutrients
