In case of aerobic training, we inhale more air than at rest. Small particles falling into the organism with it, in a long run can affect health. For example, scientists still disclose short-term and long-term health problems associated with inhaling smoke from forest fires, but there are enough evidence that show a close relationship between air pollution and respiratory health problems and cardiovascular system. In this material, we light all the reasons for which you should not go to the workout in the fresh air.
Forest fires
If you live near the forest or love to train in it, but in your area or neighboring regions there was a biological catastrophe, from running and other things worth refrain. When forest fires flashes, they allocate tiny solid particles, called PM2,5. According to Dr. Stefani Kristenson, a duty officer of a pulmonary medicine, intensive therapy, allergies and sleep medicine, these tiny particles in the air, and inhalation can be stuck deep in the throat and lungs. In the short term, people breathing with high PM2,5 air can experience difficulty breathing, cough, runny nose, eye irritation, sore throat and rapid heartbeat.
People with concomitant health problems, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart disease, have a higher risk, since PM2.5 can cause direct respiratory damage and cause strong inflammation, exacerbating these states and causing some in the hospital . A long exposure to forest fire smoke can increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, low birth weight and premature genera. Otherwise, healthy people may also feel the consequences of poor air quality.
If you run next to the forest, consider several points

Excessively low temperature
Not supercooling is the cause of a cold is only a side effect that promotes the development of a microbial or viral medium. We advise you to refrain by unprepared sports lovers, if the street is below 0. Those who are used to run in the cold, you can run at temperatures up to -15 degrees. Below is not worth it, because the cold air, falling through the larynx in the lungs, can cause their spasm. For late autumn and winter, go to training in the hall - there you can deal with comfort on the track.
Allergy to flowering
A common problem of allergies: reaction to flowering plants. If you have noticed itching, redness of the skin, dry cough, sneezing, eye soreness, it is time to conduct analyzes for possible irritants from a doctor. In the season of flowering, refrain from workouts on the street, or run in the respirator. Now, no one is strange for a person in a construction mask, because most, like you, wears them on the street to protect against the virus.
Road dust
We also do not advise you to engage in stadiums located next to the roadway and construction. From the first you get drunk road dust, and from the second, worse, asbestos and other heavy particles. Exercise on specialized stadiums or in parks. It is better to run in the morning or evening outside of urban activity: then there will be fewer cars on the roads and dust will have time to lie down. In the fall, a good time - after the rain, when dust also falls under the weight of water to the ground.
