Love your videos

[@VivoPhys]

Thank you. I hope they are helping in some way.

So how quickly can the muscles absorb sugar post workout?

[@daisychain914]

What if these systems are going wrong.. I have difficulty staying hydrated and get low blood pressure. I don’t exercise much. Could exercising maybe help in the long run?

[@VivoPhys]

This is probably a question for your medical provider.

[@bmp713]

How quickly can you increase blood volume and red blood cells from intense aerobic circuit training?

[@VivoPhys]

Training can increase plasma volume in a matter of days. Red blood cell volume takes weeks to months.

I seem to need to keep drinking insane amounts of water to stop my head from feeling like it's not getting enough blood supply. This has cime on suddenly the past 3 or so weeks. I was drinking a lot of coffee and eating a lot of dark chocolate everyday until a few days ago when I read about caffeine being vasoconstrictive. I'm in my early-mid 30's and I eat mostly healthy. Up until the past week I've been very sedentary for years. Is it likely a blood volume thing or more likely a cardiovascular issue?

Correction: I guess you could say I mostly eat the "standard American diet" but perhaps with a little more fruit and veg than the average person. I take a lot of omgea 3 tablets too.

Sorry, I am not medically trained. Please contact your medical provider.

Oh wow. Now i know why after 30km long run i don’t pee much. Antidhiuretic hormones are in action for a few hours. Is there any ways to lower those hormones levels? Thank you for this video and information!

[@VivoPhys]

That and dehydration. Staying hydrated is all you can do to lessen that hormone response.
