How to eat properly during a fast is known, since there is a specific list of banned and allowed products, it remains only to choose what to like and cook lean and healthy food. Well, as for the sport, is it possible to continue training or is it best to stop for a little while and we will try to find out.
Religious aspect
During fasting it is recommended to refrain from any actions of "carnal" nature, but if we understand fitness classes as one of the options for pastime that is aimed at improving the body, there is no contradiction in this. But it should be taken into account that during the fasting it is forbidden to eat animal products, that is, you reduce the intake of protein to the body to a minimum. Because of this, increased physical exertion can lead to fatigue, irritability and even exhaustion, so if you decide not to give up sports during a fast, then you need to take steps to exclude the appearance of health problems.
Some rules
In order for you to have the energy and strength to train, you need to make a proper daily menu. If you eat only porridge and bread, the body will not receive the necessary substances that are needed for training. Be sure to eat vegetables , fruits, honey, nuts, as well as soy products.
If you stick to a strict fast and completely eliminate meat from your diet, you can replace it with special protein shakes from soya, which will supply the body with protein, necessary for training, but you will not break the fast.
Some athletes say that during the post thanks to training, they discover new opportunities. First, sports will be a bit hard to bear, since there is almost no force due to lack of energy, but after a while a new force opens and ease of movement appears. Thanks to this training is very easy, the extra pounds go away, and you feel at the height. Given this, we can conclude that sports in the period of fasting can not seriously harm the body.
Remember that fasting is not a diet that is not aimed at losing weight, but self-control and restriction in everything. This concerns the emotional state, various excessive pleasures, and so on. Consider this, and do not turn fast into a normal diet.
What to choose?
If you decide to go in for sports during a fast, then you better refuse to visit the gym and at this time give your preference to aerobic exercise. Also during this period it is recommended to give up training, for which it is necessary to use various sports equipment, which increase the load. Especially do not need to start new sports for you, put it off for a while. Set yourself the goal not to change your shape and physical shape, but just maintain it. Trust your body and senses, if you feel even a slight malaise,
Bans on post and sport
It is not recommended to fast and especially to be engaged at this time in sports, children, pregnant women, as well as sick and old people. If you stick to a strict fast, that is, practically starve, then it is better to give up physical exertion, as this can lead to exhaustion of the body, disruption of homeostasis, and also cause serious problems with the heart and blood vessels. You can ask the doctor before the beginning of the job to consult the optimal diet for this period in order to have enough energy for sports.
