Fitness trainer Elena Sobol explained the dangers of training on an empty stomach. Her words are quoted by Sport Express.
Sobol stated that due to a lack of carbohydrates, an athlete’s blood sugar level may drop, which will immediately affect the athlete’s training and well-being. The production of the stress hormone cortisol will also increase, which destroys the immune system and contributes to excess weight gain.
In addition, the expert listed categories of people for whom intense training on an empty stomach is contraindicated. These include pregnant women, people with low blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and endocrine pathologies.
On November 2, psychologist Joanna Silver spoke about the dangers of addiction to exercise. The specialist explained that addiction to fitness may indicate the development of anorexia nervosa.
