Is running in rainy days good for your health?

In rainy or drizzling weather in Mao Mao, if the rain doesn't accumulate water on the road, you can do outdoor running exercise.

Modern medical meteorology research believes that walking or running in drizzle has many fitness functions that sunny days do not have. Rain falls on the earth, which can wash the dust and dirt in the air, purify the air, make the trees and flowers greener, the road surface cleaner and the air fresher. A large number of negative ions generated at sunset before the rain and the initial rain in Mao Mao enjoy the reputation of "air vitamin", which will make people feel calm and relaxed and help to lower blood pressure. In addition, exercising in drizzle is also conducive to eliminating the emotional depression that rainy weather can easily bring to people. For those exercisers who don't need rain gear, the intermittent rain is like a natural cold bath, which can massage the skin of face and head, make people feel refreshed, refreshed, tired and irritable, and enjoy the fun of living in the rain. In the long run, it can also enhance the body's adaptability to changes in the external environment and reduce the chance of catching a cold.

George Flair, an American physicist, has made a special study on the problem that drizzle is good for health. He pointed out that there are a lot of harmful rays in the upper atmosphere, some of which are cosmic rays passing through the ozone layer, some are caused by the increasingly serious pollution of the earth, and some are the products of the interaction of various elements in the atmosphere. George found that in heavy rain, because of the heavy rainfall, it takes a short time to fall from the air to the ground. A large number of rays and other chemicals will fall to the ground with the rain and slowly fall to the ground in the form of light rain, so there is no possibility of raindrop radiation pollution and no other chemical pollutants.

However, running in the rain should be different in peacetime. First of all, the choice of running shoes should pay more attention to anti-skid and water release, so as to avoid falling down because of the slippery road surface. In addition, the speed should be slowed down and the stride should be small. Change wet clothes in time after running and take a hot bath to prevent colds.
