Have you ever been doing a lot of moving or running around and suddenly became overtaken by the urge to hurl? I have three times recently, once during a kickball game and both times I did polymetrics (jump training) for the P90X workout regiment.. For those of you who have not experienced this, it is not fun. This is also not uncommon, but there are some steps that can be taken to seriously reduce this.
First we need to understand the causes. Although they can vary, the main causes tend to be low blood sugar, too much or too little water in system, same for food.
Some tips to prevent it:
- Eat a small snack about an hour before to keep blood sugar stable
- Drink about 8 oz. of water for every 15 minutes of exercise is a good rule of thumb
- Warm up with a light aerobic activity beforehand
Okay, but you ignored those tips or tried to follow them but you still are feeling ill. If this is the case, besides considering talking to a doctor if it is frequent, try these tips:
- SIP-no matter how thirsty you are, sip water, do not drink quick. This also is good to prevent.
- Keep walking, don't sit down or stop
- try to focus on one object or thing
No matter who you are, meaning age, sex, location, physique, post workout nausea can happen to you. Still, you want to put the odds in your favor. Most people do not experience this often. Yet, these steps really are just giving your body to right stuff to persevere. With the right precautions chances are good you will outlast the competition, whether that is because you are not throwing up or simply because you are more nourished and hydrated matters little.
