Exercise helps to keep us in good health.
Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes
of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes
every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.
But what about those times when you are sick?
If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health
experts answer these and other questions.
Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo
Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when
you are sick. It is usually fine to
exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (症状)are all "above the
neck". These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a
minor sore throat.
Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness
trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both
Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs
of your illness appear "below the neck". Pay special attention to symptoms
such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach.
There are other symptoms that can tell you to
avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of
feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain.
Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest
listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body
rest. If you don't feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount
of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.
