Do you have to wait more than half an hour before you can swim? Experts make such suggestions

Every parent will always remind their children not to jump into the swimming pool immediately after eating, but in fact they have been misled. The doctor said that in most cases, it is not necessary to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before swimming. According to the United States, this ancient concept originates from the fact that blood flows to the pulsating stomach rather than the muscles after eating, worrying that swimming may lead to drowning or cramps.

Dr. Matthew Badgett of Cliffland Clinic pointed out that in fact, a large amount of blood flows to the muscles after eating. Barget, a former member of the high school swimming team, was a habit of eating a few bananas before the competition, drinking some water or exercising a Gatorade.

Bargert said that this ancient warning may cause malfunction. It is important to quench your thirst before swimming, especially on days when you are in high sunlight; people usually don’t realize the problem of bleeding, which may cause muscle cramps. He said that swimming in water can also sweat, but often does not feel the loss of moisture.

Therefore, it is not necessary to just swim leisurely, jump into the pool or the sea after a meal; but for those who really want to swim or exercise, they need to digest the food to avoid cramps, just like not running immediately after a meal.

In addition, swimming after drinking a few beers is also risky. Swimming after drinking is prone to being overly emotionally, but the body's coordination is worse, which leads to missed choices; especially when encountering rapids or tides around the sea in summer, it is even more dangerous. Barget said, "because the reaction will become irritated."
