How can I stop feeling so nauseated after workout?!
Question:
How can I stop feeling so nauseated after workout?
After I finish my lower and upper body, which consistes of about 8 machines total, I always feel nauseated. I wouldn't mind, exept that I like to bike or run for about 15 min. after my upper and lower body. I do drink a lot of water in between, but I just would like to know why I feel this way after my workout.
Answers:
You are either eating too heavy before your workout or are experiencing low blood sugar. Drink this instead of water, it's not exactly tasty, but it will help you avoid nausea:
1-cup cold water
1-cup fruit juice (apple or orange)*
1 teaspoon sugar or honey
1 pinch of salt
Mix, chill, and enjoy!
*One cup of apple or orange juice has about 26-30 grams of carbohydrate. Keep in mind that not all fruit juices contain the same amount of carbohydrate, so read the labels when you want to try a new flavor. Just remember to keep the total carbohydrate level to about 14 grams per 8oz.
Or, buy a commercial replacement fluid, like Gatorade, which has 16 grams of carbs in it, but does not have natural juices.
