Running To Become Healthier

By Chet Sandeksi


After surgery you may find that you are left with scars that you do not want. Even after an electrosurgical procedure, you may want to find a way to minimize the visibility of the scar that was a result of the surgery.

Distance runners internalize mile lengths over long-distances. Whatever distance they rand before, they expect themselves to be able to run that distance again on a given day. There is a certain pride that comes from the speed or distance that they accomplish. Should the runner move any slower or run any shorter than what they have come to expect, they beat themselves up and try pushing to reach their goals. It is a dangerous thing to do. When you push yourself too hard, you could seriously injure yourself, which could lead to electro surgery.

"No pain, no gain," they say. They also say that running is a mental game. All you really have to do is fight through the pain for a while and you can do anything. It's just a matter of pushing through your walls. Whoever they are, take their advice with a grain of salt. Your body can only take so much.

Although it is true that you have to tear down your muscles to rebuild them again, burning them to a crisp is not the best way to improve yourself physically. This becomes a huge problem for runners who take month long breaks.

Second, you should avoid drinking alcohol. When you drink alcohol you dehydrate your body and your skin which can inhibit your skins ability to reproduce and replace the skin around the area that you haves been scarred. Rather than drinking alcohol, try to keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water. When you drink water you will be hydrating your body and your skin to ensure that your skin is able to reproduce and help your scar diminish in color and texture.

Third, caring for the site of the incision can also help you minimize your chances of scarring. When you have an incision from an electrosurgical procedure or any other type of surgery, you should keep it sterilized and follow your doctor's orders concerning the incision site.

The sobering truth you have to realize is that when you do not work out for an extended period of time, you will not come back nearly as strong as you left. Your muscles go through atrophy when you don't use them. Atrophy begins as quickly as four days after your last workout. Within less than a week, you begin deteriorating.

When you find that you are worried about your scar, you should discuss this worry with your doctor. Follow what your doctor says and ensure that you are keeping in touch with your doctor about the progress that you and your scar are making.

If you enjoy running but take a break for a while, do not expect yourself to run at the same intensity as you did before. Realize that your muscles have undergone such a change, that they cannot handle the challenge that you are presenting to them.

You have mastered the mental game, but you need to decrease your usage of this skill to stay healthy. Otherwise you risk injury and electro surgery, which will only damper your aspirations to run at full strength again.
