Have you ever felt a headache when you exercise? What about nausea? And, what about the times you feel short of breath? ... Are these excuses to get off the mat or problems that merit immediate attention?
Among continue or stopExercise triggers physiological responses such as pain, swelling, changes in appetite and hormonal, among others, often make us panic, but they really are a normal response to a stress load "good" to the the body is not used.
Among the most common causes of alarm, we have:
a) "My head hurts when I exercise"
According to exercise physiologist and expert in cardiovascular rehabilitation, Loni Novak, the headache it gives us when we exercise is likely to occur when the person has not eaten for many hours before and exercising.
"When we exercise at moderate to high intensity, lower blood sugar levels quickly, which can cause hypoglycemia and cause headaches. Be sure to eat a snack that includes some low-fat protein before training, such as yogurt or a slice of bread with a touch of peanut butter, among others, "added Novak.
However, you also have to rule out that the headache is associated with a high voltage box, as it can cause headaches when you have no control.

b) "I need air ..."
First of all, if you smoke you have to refrain from exercising for at least two hours after the last cigarette, otherwise, you are breathing more difficult during the activity (of course, ideally you to stop smoking completely).
Also, another cause of this difficulty is what is known as asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm. A pulmonologist can confirm this picture and it will most likely prescribe a bronchodilator will allow you exercising normally. The most important thing is to know that this is not a barrier to staying active. On the contrary, the exercise will help you overcome and manage this condition. In general, make sure you exercise in environments preferably a bit warm and wet and not cold and dry, which tend to exacerbate symptoms.
Are you increasing the intensity too fast? Sometimes the shortness of breath due simply to want to change from walking to running in a day and therefore your cardio-pulmonary system is not used. Make small, incremental changes, and once you feel comfortable is when you introduce a new variation.
c) "I feel nauseous ..."
Nausea usually respond to a picture of body dehydration or overheating.
Novak suggests that when exercising in hot weather, we must remember to do it with light clothing and permeable. "Do not use any plastic or plastic strip those who are supposed to cut fat focused. This is not only false but also harmful to your health because it can raise body temperature significantly and keep the body cool through of its natural mechanisms. "
And when it comes to dehydration, drink water before, during and after a workout - do it slowly and not large amounts at one time. If your activity is over 60 minutes, then takes a drink that will help replenish electrolytes. Not only think about sports drinks, to the coconut water is rich in potassium and sodium, but be careful not to just be a sugary drink. Check the nutritional content to make sure their components.
Also, did you eat something high in fat before exercise? While a small meal before exercise can help you work harder, you also have to watch what you eat and the amount thereof.
Fat and high fiber foods take much longer to digest and remember that when you exercise, blood should decrease toward less active organs such as the digestive, for example, and meet the demand of the muscles and the heart to sustain the activity make. This can prevent proper digestion. So before training consumes a carbohydrate with some protein slightly lower in fat and not exceeding more than 150 calories if you're exercising for an hour.
d) "I feel like tightness or muscle spasm ..."
This usually responds to stretch you without heating. There is still a belief that static stretching is a way to heat and it is not, on the contrary, it could put you at risk of muscle strain.
The muscles should not be stretched when cold, so it is recommended that you pre-activity such as walking, cycling or any exercise that lets you work the muscles slightly for five to ten minutes or if you're doing weights, do a series weight alone without heating. Once you feel your body temperature has gone up, then, begins with training. Leave a good session of static stretching at the end of your routine. It is then that will get the most out of this type of exercise, which will make it easier to maintain range of motion and a quicker recovery.
Another reason for a muscle spasm may be related to a deficiency of minerals such as potassium or calcium. Are you consuming dairy sources? What about tomatoes, bananas, avocados, among others, for potassium?
e) "I feel palpitations ..."
Novak suggests that this symptom as you respond immediately.
One of the most common causes of palpitations or rhythm changes in heart rate in women, especially, respond to what is known as mitral valve prolapse - a condition in which the valve of the left ventricle left atrium collapses in -. You can also have other symptoms such as fatigue, lightheadedness and difficulty breathing, however, in most cases, no risk to exercise when it is under control.
If after consulting with your doctor, and you're in perfect health, but still feel those 'palpitations', becomes a clock that allows you to measure your heart rate to know the intensity of your training - more than 80% of your maximum heart rate, and is considered a moderate to high effort.
Also, stop exercising immediately if you feel that these palpitations are accompanied by other sudden symptoms such as pain in the arm or chest, headache, nausea, among others, and calls for medical assistance.

The skin aging
Beyond the sun and the genes are seven pitfalls you can avoid to keep your skin youthful. Of course, it is important that you apply sunscreen, but these seven adjustments to your lifestyle will help to mitigate the effects of aging.
Sweets
If sugary snacks are part of your diet, the better reconsider. When the sugar is broken down and enters the bloodstream, binds to the protein molecules, including those found in collagen and elastin [fibers that support skin] through a process called glycation. This degrades the collagen and elastin, leaving the skin susceptible to wrinkles and sagging.
Preventive measures. Limit your intake of simple carbohydrates such as sodas and sweets, but also others such as honey, rice and white bread. These foods turn into sugar quickly and accelerate the process of glycation. When you need something sweet, opt for a square of dark chocolate. Antioxidants protect your skin from free radicals. Try also taking vitamin C, which helps build collagen. Papayas, strawberries, broccoli, oranges and kiwis contain lots of vitamin C.
Frequent Travel
The air is drier in a ship and without moisture, the skin as a living organism, it withers. Another reason is that while you are traveling closer to the sun shining through the windows and the intensity of the rays is greater.
Preventive Measures. Consume plenty of water before and during the flight, avoid alcohol and salty snacks, which contribute to dehydration, and apply a moisturizer with sunscreen 30 minutes before boarding. If your seat is by the window, close it.
Uncontrolled stress
When you're under stress your body produces the hormone cortisol, which can damage the collagen and elastin and decrease the skin's ability to repair itself. In addition, stress makes you tense and frowning without you noticing. Over time, these contractions may contribute to the permanent lines.
Preventive Measures. You can manage stress and anxiety with exercises like yoga, tai chi and hiking. If you can work for an hour, trying to do a walk of 30 minutes of yoga download an application on your phone to make a few poses before bed.
Weight Fluctuations
Gaining weight can make your skin look stuffed into the surface, but the extra pounds can cause levels of insulin and cortisol in your body increases, which may affect collagen. Also on winning and losing weight can affect the elasticity of the skin, leaving stretch marks and stretched skin.
Preventive Measures. Try to maintain your ideal weight with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Go to nhlbisupport.com to calculate yours.
Changes in Median Age
Menopause affects the production of estrogen. Estrogen stimulates the production of oils and collagen in your skin, so it can become dry, wrinkled and hanging, as levels drop.
Preventive Measures. The Hormone Replacement Therapy can cause side effects, the best option is to use moisturizers before the onset of menopause. Consult your dermatologist if dermal fillers for wrinkles and inflate hanging areas.
Lack of Rest
The skin has the ability to regenerate during the night, but if you get enough sleep, this is not possible. Lack of sleep also causes stress on the body, causing the production of stress hormones, cortisol.
Preventive Measures. Try to sleep seven to eight hours every night. It takes discipline to create the habit. Turn off your electronic devices half hour before bedtime, so you will not wake up. Sleeping on your back also helps prevent wrinkles, sleeping with her cheek against the pillow can create lines.
The Depre
Depression not only shows your attitude, too in your face. Over time one can become permanent scowl on the skin. Depression is also associated with elevated cortisol levels, which can weaken the collagen fibers. The worst thing is that when someone is depressed does not care as it should.
Preventive Measures. To combat depression is good exercise regularly and seek professional help. It is thought that Botox treatment can improve symptoms of depression.
