Everything you need to know if you also feel hungry after training

You've just finished training and a feeling of hunger hits you . It is not something strange, but rather a common sensation, especially after having completed an intense training session . This phenomenon will depend on a series of factors related to the functioning of our body and its reaction to sports practice.

Furthermore, it must be taken into account that this increase in appetite after sports practice is not linked to the burning of calories , contrary to what we may think, but rather occurs due to a decrease in blood glucose (sugar) levels . that provide us with immediate energy, present in muscle glycogen. This decrease in sugar in our body causes the mobilization of our reserve and awakens this feeling of hunger in our brain.

It is not something that happens to all people equally, because on the other hand, we find other people for whom the practice of physical exercise does not cause this sensation or, quite the contrary, what it generates is a loss of appetite. As we anticipated, this is because physiological factors intervene that vary in each person . They influence, for example, age, sex, type of diet or sports activity that you do regularly. And to that we must also add the characteristics of the exercise , because depending on its intensity and duration, they influence the increase in appetite.

What if you eat after doing sports?

But let's focus on the case of those who are hungry: if we eat immediately after performing physical exercise, we must do so in a healthy way , not only with respect to the nutrients that we are going to incorporate, but also in terms of the way to do it. Taking this into account, the experts from the Nutrition Area of ​​Club Metropolitan offer us these recommendations on the diet to follow after the activity.

Can a hangover be avoided?

Free A Woman with a Hangover Touching Her Forehead Stock Photo

 A margarita by the pool, an ice-cold beer at a barbecue on a May holiday. You could say that summer is made for having a cold drink on a hot day. But why is drinking during the day any different? And is there any way to avoid a nighttime hangover ?

Perhaps not surprisingly, there have been no robust clinical trials evaluating the health effects of daytime alcohol consumption. But psychiatrists and alcohol experts say there are some unique factors that influence the difference between daytime drinking and nighttime drinking .

little control

At night, you may be more attentive to signs that it's time to stop, such as when dinner is over. But the novelty of having an alcoholic drink in the afternoon means people don't always control how much they consume, said Akhil Anand, a psychiatrist at the Cleveland Clinic .

If you drink throughout the day and aren't necessarily aware of where to get your next snack, it also makes sense that you don't have food in your stomach to help slow down the rate at which your body absorbs the alcohol, which means you're probably that you become more intoxicated in a shorter period of time .

It's hot

Drinking when it's sunny — especially in the summer — increases your chances of becoming dehydrated, and dehydration can intensify the effects of intoxication: You may feel fatigued, lightheaded, dizzy or simply out of control, said Sarah Andrews, associate professor of psychiatry and science. of Behavior at Johns Hopkins Medicine . On a sweaty day, you can lose more fluids than you replace, which means you also lose sodium and minerals that help your body function normally. And that's in addition to the dehydrating nature of alcohol itself, which acts as a diuretic and expels fluids from your body, causing you to urinate more frequently.

The hangover can come sooner

The sooner you start drinking, the sooner that feeling of hangover with dry mouth and headache will appear. brunch with mimosas can translate into a dinnertime hangover , said Danesh Alam, an addiction psychiatrist at Northwestern Medicine, although a hangover is more likely to start first thing the next morning, when your blood alcohol content is higher. has returned to zero. Because daytime drinking can be so dehydrating, hangover symptoms are likely to be worse, Anand said.

Evangelina Anderson revealed the “odyssey” she experienced after celebrating River's victory in the Super Cup in Córdoba

On Wednesday night the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba became a million-dollar party. River Plate defeated Estudiante de La Plata 2-1 and became champion of the Argentine Super Cup for the fourth time in its history. Evangelina Anderson was part of the celebrations of the great achievement of her husband, Martín Demichelis, but after the joy she did not hesitate to portray on Instagram the “odyssey” that she went through to reach Buenos Aires .

Together with her father and her youngest daughter, Emma, ​​Evangelina Anderson embarked on a trip to Córdoba to accompany Martín Demichelis, who was facing an important challenge as technical director of River Plate. Given the victory, the team celebrated on the field and she also did so on social networks. However, what happened after the big celebration erased her smile a little.

Evangelina's plans changed completely when she wanted to return to Buenos Aires, since her flight was delayed for weather reasons. The facilities of the Cordoba airport became the resting place for her family entourage and during the waiting time she turned to her followers to help her make two important decisions.

Through an Instagram survey, she revealed that the delay changed her plans and she was in a dilemma regarding her little daughter's routine. “Is “little abrojito” going to school tomorrow?” , she asked and the users voted. Her followers recommended that she should be absent and, knowing this, the little girl couldn't stop celebrating.

The second question he raised as the hours passed was related to his work responsibilities, since he had to appear to record The 8 Steps (eltrece), a cycle of which he is part of the jury, and he did not arrive due to the delay of his flight.

Guardiola: "It seems like a tradition to face the kings of the Champions League"

 

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, assured that "it is already a tradition" that they face the "king" of the Champions League, after the draw for the quarterfinals has paired them with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet for the third consecutive season in the Champions League. The 'Sky Blues' eliminated the whites last season en route to their first title in the top continental competition.

"It seems like it's a tradition now. Three years in a row playing against the kings of the competition. I hope we can arrive at a good time because there are still several weeks left until the first match in Madrid," Guardiola said this Friday at a press conference.

Regarding the advantage of playing the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola pointed out that the draw cannot be controlled and that when people say that the draw has been easy or not it is because "they underestimate the rival."

A stop of 10.6 million euros

 How much does a stop cost? Without the stretch of Jan Oblak, suspended in the air to clear Davy Klaassen's third shot for Inter with both hands among the apotheosis of the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium, Atlético de Madrid might not have reached the 10.6 million euros of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

It is the reward for the red and white team's advancement among the eight best in Europe, the place to which the Slovenian goalkeeper led them. He first denied Alexis Sánchez the goal on the Italian team's second shot, the third of the shootout. Then, after Saúl Ñíguez failed in the next one, he flew in an extraordinary way to stop the maximum penalty from the Dutchman Davy Klaassen, who entered the field in the 111th minute. Lautaro Martínez hit the ninth shot wide.

There was no need to take the tenth and final penalty against Atlético, the winner because Oblak had already directed them towards the precious prize of 10.6 million euros in the next round.

In the sum of this edition, at the same time, it shot up to 80,736 million euros of income in the maximum continental competition of 2023-24, in the absence of other variables.

It has already raised 15.64 million euros for participation in the group stage; the 11.2 of his four wins in that round; the 1,860 result of their two ties; the 9.6 for competing in the round of 16; and the 31,836 awarded by UEFA for their current position in the ranking of the last ten campaigns of the 32 current participants in the Champions League. He is the fifth. Only Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and City surpass it.

Suárez plays Messi, Cucho and Pulido score and Acosta works a miracle in the MLS

 Without the Argentine Leo Messi, out due to a muscle problem that could keep him out of the FIFA date with Argentina, the Uruguayan Luis Suárez scored a double in Inter's comeback Miami against DC United, in an MLS matchday in which the Colombian Juan Camilo 'Cucho' Hernández and the Mexican Alan Pulido also scored.

Three days after qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League, Inter Miami triumphed against DC United despite Messi's absence. Suárez started as a substitute, but took the field after the restart and scored two goals in thirteen minutes, between the 72nd and 85th minutes.

But the Washington match was also marked by the statements of Argentine coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino about the conditions of Leo Messi, who suffered a muscle problem in the 'ConcaChampions' against Nashville and will not return before the break.

"The injury, beyond today's absence, must be managed week by week. We take advantage of the fact that we have full weeks and we will constantly evaluate it," Martino explained at a press conference after the match won in Washington against DC United.
