Hi Komal.
This is Muralidhar G, aged 40 weight 80 kgs and 6 feet height.
I do strength training three times a week and play tennis every day for 90 minutes.
My problem is that, after I play tennis in the sun in the morning, I get a headache in the afternoon.
I take proper electrolytes and sufficient water.
What could be the reason?
Thank you,
Muralidhar G
Ans: Strengthen training results in increase in muscle mass.
As muscle is the most metabolic tissue in our body, you need to have a high protein intake post workout for muscle recovery.
To replenish the energy lost during exercise, you also need to have a good carb source within 30 minutes after your workout.
The lack of this may be causing hypoglycaemia, which will lead to headaches.
Include an oat plus fruit smoothie made with milk or a banana milkshake in your post workout meal.
Playing in the sun will certainly lead to loss of electrolytes. So continue to have lots of water with salts to be well hydrated.
