Your Heart Deserves Better During Exercise
Two deadly myths are putting exercisers at risk especially here in India.
MYTH 1 → Don't drink water during exercise
We've all heard "don't drink water now".
This couldn't be more wrong.
When you exercise without water
→ Your blood volume decreases
→ Heart rate spikes unnecessarily
→ Your heart works overtime
Drink 1 liter per hour of exercise. Take sips every 10-15 minutes. For workouts
over an hour, add electrolytes (glucose + sodium + potassium).
MYTH 2 → Wear jackets to sweat more = burn more calories
Sweating more ≠ burning more calories.
Your body NEEDS to cool down. Blocking this natural cooling puts more strain on
your cardiovascular system.
Wear breathable clothing. Let your body regulate temperature naturally.
Your heart is already working hard during exercise. Don't make it work harder
by dehydrating yourself or overheating.
These simple changes could literally save your life.
