Leaky Gut Syndrome

A 2010 study presented at Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Montreal found that regular exercise reduces cardiovascular risk by a factor of two or three, but the extended vigorous exercise performed during a marathon increases/raises your cardiac risk seven-fold. You can’t feel the heart’s ‘pain’ until very late in the game, and at that point, it could be a life-threatening situation. The heart pumps about five quarts of blood per minute when sitting, when running this increases to twenty-five or thirty quarts; the heart is not designed to do this for hours on end, day after day. The heart can enter a state of ‘volume overload’ that stretches the walls of your heart muscle, literally breaking fibres apart. Problems occur because many endurance …show more content…
Not only can it cause problems with the gut, but, similarly to Kresser’s study (2012), Hodges (2017) found that it also can lead to abnormal heart rhythms, weakened immune system, weakened bones and mental-ill health. Studies released by the European Heart Journal in 2013 suggest that - especially for those with a family history of irregular heartbeats - overdoing the fat-burning workout can also contribute to poor cardio health. The study, which measured the heart rhythms of over 52,000 cross-country skiers during a ten-year period, found that the risk of arrhythmia is increased with every race completed, and was up to 30 per cent higher for those who competed year-on-year for a period of five years. Exercise intensity also affected results; those who finished fastest were at higher risk for arrhythmia. When cortisol is in the bloodstream, more bone tissue is broken down than is deposited. This means that exercise addicts, whose bodies remains in a chronic state of stress, put themselves at higher risk of fractures and breakage (Hodges, 2017). Studies into what is known as ‘Overtraining Syndrome’ show that those who over train portray the same biochemical markers as those with clinical
