[ALERT] NEVER Do This After Exercise
By Dr. Scott Olson Posted January 12, 2020
There’s all kinds of advice out there on the best way to get the most out of your workout.
You know… post-exercise protein shakes… drinking water… and taking supplements.
But what you don’t hear about is what you SHOULDN’T do after a workout.
As it turns out there’s one weird thing you should avoid at all costs.
And it can ruin your blood pressure.
I’m talking about using mouthwash.
This might sound weird… but stay with me here…
When you exercise your blood pressure increases. But once you stop exercising, your blood pressure drops and stays low for a very long time (sometimes days).
But swishing your mouth with mouthwash will destroy those benefits.
In a new study, researchers had 23 healthy adults run on a treadmill for 30 minutes. The scientists then measured the blood pressure of the participants for the next two hours.
During those two hours, the volunteers took swigs of an anti-bacterial mouthwash or a placebo.
The researchers found that folks who use the mouthwash had a higher blood pressure than those who used the placebo.
In fact, the mouthwash users had a 60 percent higher blood pressure than those who didn’t!
This happens because mouthwash impacts your microbiome – the collection of good and bad bacteria that live in your gut and mouth.
And it’s these bacteria that produce a blood pressure lowering chemical called nitrate.
But when you use mouthwash… it kills off these helpful bugs… and lowers your nitrate levels.
This means you’ll put in the workout… but NOT get the full heart benefits.
So, your best bet is to skip mouthwash for at least an hour after exercise. Your heart will thank you.
