Becoming "flushed", or red faced, is a normal part of the body's cooling mechanism. When we exercise we produce extra heat (burn calories), and the body has to cool itself. Sweating is one way. The sweat glands are activated to put water on the surface of the skin, and when the water evaporates it cools. Read about "heat of vaporization". It's a basic principle of physics and indirectly describes how we cool ourselves.
But sweat is only half of the way that we cool ourselves.
When the skin becomes sweaty we also need to put a lot of blood to the surface of the skin so that it can be cooled as the sweat evaporates. The capillaries dilate, allowing more blood to circulate at the surface of the skin and be cooled.
Many times people who are getting the most benefit from the exercise, (working hardest, creating the most heat) will sweat the most and more easily "flush".
It's normal. Just keep exercising.
Aerobic exercise is also called cardio exercise. This exercise is low intensity and focuses on generating aerobic or oxygen related energy.
Aerobic respiration means: an organism or tissue that requires the presence of oxygen to break down food sources to create energySo, when you do aerobic exercises, you are requiring the use of oxygen intake for a successful and healthy exercise routine. As you exercise, your body is using the oxygen in the air to facilitate the breakdown of fats in your body to create energy for you to move around. An aerobic workout is one of the most healthy forms of exercise.
Aerobic gymnastics (aka Sport Aerobics) looks somewhat similar to a floor exercise, but "is the ability to perform continuously complex and high-intensity movement patterns to music...with a high degree of perfectly executed elements of difficulty." It can be performed solo or with more than one athlete. Some movements that would be used in other gymnastics are banned - like handsprings and acrobatic flips. See Related Links.
Unfortunately YES. Sometimes women can have early menopause. Please discover below in related link 37 possible symptoms of menopause.
Aerobic exercise is the type which burns fat. It generally involves deep breathing and a more "natural" flow of motion than anaerobic (which builds more muscle tissue). Common aerobic exercises include running and swimming. There are two related Wikipedia links below; the first explains the mechanics while the second gives examples.
I joined a menopause forum where women ask questions and talk about all things related to menopause.
No, VO2 max and anaerobic threshold are not the same point. VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize during intense exercise, representing aerobic capacity. In contrast, the anaerobic threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood, indicating a shift from predominantly aerobic metabolism to anaerobic metabolism. These two metrics are related but occur at different exercise intensities.
Yes, urinary tract infections are related to menopause. It seems that menopausal women are more at risk of recurrent UTI's due to a change in the pH of the vagina.
It helps reduce hot flashes that are related to Menopause. rub some on your wrists and neck.
There are many reasons why menopause would occur before the average age of 51yrs. Smoking can 'speed up' menopause by ~5 yrs and cause stronger menopausal symptoms, medical procedures such as a hysterectomy can also cause menopause, some medication can also trigger menopause but symptoms usually disappear after you're done the medication.See more in the related link.Premature Ovarian Failure can also trigger menopause in women as early as 30 yrs old.See the related link.
The thyroid and menopause are related in that a lot of women find out they have a thyroid condition when they are going through menopause. This is because menopause is a time in a woman's life when hormones are affected. Another time in a woman's life when they might find out they have a thyroid condition is during pregnancy or postpartum.
Any exercise that gets your heart rate up and gets you breathing more rapidly for an extended period will improve the fitness of the cardiovascular system. This can be such things as brisk walking, jogging, running, and bicycling, etc. Some people refer to these type of exercises are aerobic. Other people refer to them as cardio exercises.Often the words aerobic and cardio are used interchangeably, but there is a difference. Aerobic exercise is exercise with oxygen. In other words exercises that get you breathing hard. Cardio exercise is short for cardiovascular. Cardio exercise is any exercise that stresses your cardiovascular system, which are the exercises that get you breathing more rapidly.All cardio exercise is aerobic exercise. However, not all aerobic exercises will give cardiovascular benefits. For example, walking is aerobic. However, walking at a pace of 2 km/h is not going give you cardiovascular benefit.
