How is hand swelling to return a responsibility?

summary

For runners, swelling of fingers and toes after running is very common, especially in hot weather. One of the reasons for this after a run is an electrolyte imbalance. The salt in your blood must be balanced to prevent tissue swelling. If you lose too much salt during a run (through sweat) or if your diet is too salty, you may find that your limbs swell. Today, let me tell you something about hand swelling

How is hand swelling to return a responsibility?

The first is to prevent swelling of your fingers and toes. You should make sure that you can replenish your sodium from sweat in a long run. You can drink sports drinks, supplement sports nutrition, such as gelatin, or eat salty snacks, such as pretzels.

Second: in rare cases, extreme swelling of hands and feet in marathon or long-distance race may be a sign of hyponatremia, which may be due to the low blood sodium concentration caused by drinking too much water. Other signs of hyponatremia include nausea and vomiting. You need to replenish water reasonably during running (120-150 ml every 20 minutes), and drink some sports drinks properly, so as to maintain the electrolyte balance.

Third: another explanation for this phenomenon is that when you run, your blood flow will increase, but some excess blood may accumulate in your hands and feet, causing swelling. When you see signs of swelling during your run, you need to swing your arms, draw circles, stretch your fingers, and clench your fist several times to get your blood flowing.

In addition, if you find that your toes always swell after running, it's possible that your running shoes are too tight. Make sure your running shoes are at least half the size of the shoes you wear every day. Collect this page and subscribe to mailbox
