After workouts do you experiecnce muscle ache, burning, weakness, rapid breathing?
You may be experiencing the unpleasant feeling of lactic acid build up. Although these symtoms may be temporary, it may be caused when too much acid builds up in your bloodstream. The most common reason for this acid buildup is intense exercise. When you exercise, your body uses oxygen to break down glucose for energy. During intense exercise, there may not be enough oxygen available to complete the process, so a substance called lactate is made. Your body can convert this lactate to energy without using oxygen, but this lactate or lactic acid can build up in your bloodstream faster than you can burn it off. The point when lactic acid starts to build up is called the "lactate threshold." Your body now has a build up of lactic acid in your muscles, and in time your body will flush it out,.
How can we help accelerate the breakdown of lactic acid from our body to reduce the symptoms and return to homeostasis?
