Li Lin, a 42-year-old well-known host of Chongqing Radio and Television Station, died of myocardial infarction due to excessive exercise before he had a cold. This news is deeply regrettable.
Some netizens pointed out that Li Lin suffered from a severe cold at the end of August and did strenuous exercise before he was completely **, which eventually led to a heart attack.
I think everyone has a question:It turns out that an incomplete ** cold combined with strenuous exercise can really bring such serious consequences?
Sudden heart attack due to strenuous exercise due to a cold that has not healed
Li Lin, a well-known host who has hosted several popular programs on Chongqing Radio and Television Station, his death is undoubtedly a big blow to Chongqing Radio and Television Station and even the radio hosting industry.
It also allows us to understand in depth,A cold is not a minor illness, and it is important to get enough rest and avoid strenuous exercise when it is not cured, otherwise there may be a sharp deterioration in physical condition and may even be life-threatening.
Note that this is not alarmism, this is what really happened in reality, and it is also a warning from science.
How to understand the "Neck Law"?
The Neck Rule is a simple method proposed by Daryl Rosenbaum, a sports medicine expert at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, for determining whether you can exercise after a cold.
The core of this law is:Determine where cold symptoms are concentrated
If your cold symptoms are mainly above the neck, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throat, etc., then moderate exercise will not be too much of a problem.
However, if the symptoms of a cold are mainly from the neck down, such as coughing, throat and lung discomfort, then it is best to avoid exercise at this time.
This may indicate a serious systemic infection, and strenuous exercise may increase the burden on the heart and increase the risk of disease.
The danger of strenuous exercise during a cold
We all know that exercise can improve the body's immunity and increase resistance. But that doesn't mean it's good to continue exercising vigorously during a cold.
In fact, most experts and doctors recommend that at times like these, we should avoid strenuous exercise as much as possible, as the virus may take the opportunity to attack the internal organs of the body, especially the heart.
A seemingly common cold, if left unattended, can lead to viral myocarditis or a more serious myocardial infarction.
Viruses can invade the heart muscle by weakening cold symptoms to lower the body's defenses.
Moreover, when the body is fighting the virus fiercely, if you force strenuous exercise, it will stimulate the heart muscle to bear a higher load, which greatly increases the risk of heart disease.
Everyone's reaction to a cold is different, but in general, when the body is battling the virus, strenuous exercise will only make the situation worse and not make it better.
Li Lin did not suffer from a serious illness, just a cold, but because of the strenuous exercise too early during the ** period, he finally couldn't bear the pressure and led to the attack of heart disease, which is regrettable.
Therefore, when we are sick, especially when we have a cold, we must take moderate rest and avoid strenuous exercise to reduce the risk of serious diseases.
Risk factors for heart disease
Heart disease does not develop overnight, and its occurrence is often closely related to some risk factors in daily life.
For athletes,Excessive exercise and a high-pressure environment without rest can be a trigger for heart disease
However, we need to be more vigilant that many seemingly unrelated factors, such as emotional agitation, overwork, long-term high blood pressure, diabetes, chest discomfort, etc., may cause damage to the heart, and over time, may cause myocardial lesions, thus making heart disease creep in.
Another lesser-known risk factor is a cold, especially if you exercise vigorously during an uncured cold, which can cause myocarditis caused by viruses or bacteria in your body, or even a more serious myocardial infarction.
Therefore, any form of physical discomfort, whether seemingly significant or trivial, can be a warning of an underlying heart problem.
For people who already have heart disease, it is even more important to pay close attention to these stimuli in daily life to avoid the worsening of heart disease as much as possible.
Respond to colds correctly and be alert to the risk of heart attack
We should pay extra attention to our physical condition during a cold, especiallyGrasp the intensity of exercise
Don't be a fool"Exercise for health"Regardless of the actual situation of the body, force exercise, especially if the cold has just improved, and the body is still in the weak stage, at this time, strenuous exercise will only make the body worse, increase the load on the heart, and increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
Therefore, the correct strategy should be to rest seriously, wait until the body is completely ** before exercising, and do not lose the big because of the small.
If you feel unwell after a cold, fatigue, difficulty breathing, abnormal heartbeat, etc., then you should seek medical attention in time and have a thorough physical examination to ensure safety.
In general, we wantRespect the rhythm of the bodyCorrectly deal with colds, pay attention to exercise intensity, and avoid the impact of strenuous exercise on the body, so as to truly achieve the goal of sports health.
