So far, we have discussed exercise from various perspectives. By now, it should be clear that exercise is essential and beneficial for human health. However, have you ever considered when you should NOT exercise?

In today’s 24-hour society, it is not uncommon to see people running late at night or going to the gym in the middle of the night. When you are young, this may not seem to cause any immediate problems. However, maintaining such a habit over a long period increases the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack).

 

The Most Critical Times to Avoid Exercise

• When Taking Medication

• If you are on strong medication or taking a large dose of drugs, exercise should be avoided.

• Certain medications can affect the body significantly, and exercising under their influence can be dangerous.

• After Consuming Alcohol

• Exercising after drinking poses the same risks as exercising while on medication.

• Both conditions can increase the risk of sudden death.

 

Exercise puts strain on the heart, and when the body is weakened or undergoing stress, engaging in physical activity can be extremely dangerous. If your body is in a weakened state or at risk of becoming so, that is a time to rest, not exercise.
