Warning reasons why you should take off your 

"wedding ring" while exercising


Fitness enthusiasts are willing to exercise wearing the latest sportswear and smart

devices, but there is a simple habit that many people ignore that may expose them

to health risks and injuries: taking off their wedding ring.


Jewelry and health experts warn that keeping a wedding

or engagement ring on during exercise may lead to health and physical problems.


Neil Ditta

jewelry expert at Angelic Diamonds, points out that the sweaty and humid gym

environment represents a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi

which increases the risk of skin infections when wearing jewelry.


These risks increase with high-intensity exercise such as weight lifting

due to frequent contact with equipment and rapid movement.


Here are 6 reasons

why you should take off your ring before exercise:


1. Germs

When sweating and using sports equipment, the ring becomes a breeding

ground for bacteria that may lead to infections and rashes.


2. Damage and scratches

Although some metals, such as diamonds, are hard, rings are susceptible to

scratching, cracking, or bending when they come into contact with iron weights.


3. Chilblains

Excess blood flow during exercise leads to swelling of the fingers, which makes

the ring tight and causes difficulty or pain when removing it

and may require medical intervention in rare cases.


4. Ring dislocation injuries


If the ring gets stuck in an appliance and is pulled too hard

it can cause skin tears or damage to tendons and bones.


5. Risk of losing the ring

The ring can easily slip off due to sweating or rapid movement

without you noticing, especially with vigorous exercise.


6. Skin irritation and metal corrosion


Sweat and chemicals in the halls react with the metal, causing the skin to irritate

the ring to fade, and it to lose its shine.


Ditta says:

Despite the benefits of intense exercise, it's tough on jewellery.

Rings are best left at home during these activities," he said.



When does exercise become "harmful"?!


According to rehabilitation specialist Dr.Yegor Konyukhov, exercise has

many benefits, but it can sometimes be harmful.


The specialist points out that a person, of course, needs physical activity

and this is confirmed by doctors of all specialties - cardiologists, neurologists

surgeons

and even psychologists. Because regular exercise leads to strengthening

the cardiovascular system, vestibular system, musculoskeletal system and

harmonious muscle formation, ensuring correct posture and health of the spine.


But you can suffer an injury

if you make a mistake in performing even the simplest exercises.

For example, everyone is recommended to practice swimming

which is considered a great and safe activity at the same time.

However

  • if the face is not immersed in water and the cervical
  • thoracic and lumbar spine are on the same line
  • exacerbation of spinal diseases is not excluded.


Practicing yoga stretching, and similar activities also requires caution.

Because it stretches even muscles that do not need stretching. Otherwise

their joint cohesion will be weakened.


Regular jogging has become

a widespread type of sport :

as some people practice it in order to get rid of excess weight. But this sport

puts a lot of weight on the knees. They also increase stress on the joints

back :

cardiovascular system and heart.

Running on asphalt (this is a hard surface)

with incorrectly selected shoes increases the problems. It is also not recommended

to practice this sport, even walking near the main roads. Because in the meantime

the person inhales a large amount of air with pollutants.


In conclusion :

  1. the specialist advises those
  2. who suffer from chronic diseases to
  3. consult a doctor before exercising.


Why should you stop exercising in the evening?


A recent study conducted by researchers from Monash University in Australia

revealed exciting results about the relationship between exercise in

the late evening hours and sleep quality.


After monitoring 14,689 participants for a full year using advanced devices to

measure physical activity and sleep, the research team concluded that intense

exercise four hours or less before bed may lead to noticeable sleep disturbances.


The data showed that

participants who did intense exercise such as high-intensity interval training

(HIIT)

  • or long-distance running in the evening had difficulties falling asleep.
  • The researchers also noticed a decrease in overall sleep quality
  • and an increase in heart rate during the night.


These physiological changes reflect a state of increased alertness that

prevents the body from fully relaxing and moving to a state of deep sleep.


Dr.Josh Letta :

one of the study's lead researchers, explains :

  • Intensive exercise raises the body's core temperature
  • and increases the secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol
  • which puts the body on alert that interferes with the natural relaxation

process it needs to sleep.

He added that these effects may continue for several hours after the end of

the exercise

which explains the difficulties that many face in sleeping after evening exercises.


But the study

does not warn against all types of evening physical activity

as researchers point out that light to moderate exercise such as walking

yoga :

or quiet swimming may not have the same negative effect, and may even help

some people relax.

The main difference lies in the intensity of exercise

and its effect on heart rate and body temperature.


These findings provide :

valuable insights for those who exercise in the evening due to their busy schedule

and also open the door to developing more precise recommendations


about the timing and intensity of exercise to achieve

the optimal balance between physical fitness and sleep quality.


The researchers suggest conducting further studies to explore individual

differences in response to evening exercise, which may explain why some people

experience sleep disturbances after evening exercise while others are not affected.
