No Sweat Fitness Mat And The Diseases You Can Catch Without It

By Melissa Ellis


Flu, MRSA and impetigo are one of the several infections that one can get for doing something right. It is right to exercise. It helps the body to repair itself and lose some poisons but the problem is that when the poison is lost from the body, it can also be picked up by another person. This is why no sweat fitness mat has to be in place in any gym you want to patronize.

MRSA is the abbreviation for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is a bacterial infection that affects the respiratory organs including the lungs. It can also cause itching on the skin and this can result in the skin appearing rough and red on most occasions. What makes this a more serious concern is that the bacteria is very resistant to some antibiotics. This makes preventing it a better option and hence, the need to visit gyms with no sweat mats.

Impetigo, also known as Staphylococcus aureus, is a bacterial infection that can be spread by direct contact or from one person's sweat to another. It mostly affects children so parents should endeavour to educate their kids about it. Symptoms include red patches on the skin and plaques.

Flu is another infection one can catch after visiting the gym. Although flu is caused by virus and sweat contains no virus, the spread is still possible because sweat can carry some viruses. When someone who was not initially affected use the same mat with the one who had flu, the chances of catching the flu is high.

Sweat does not also contain Hepatitis B but wherever there is sweat, one has to be careful because it may be carrying the virus. Places like gyms where people sweat a lot should be your number one suspect. Hepatitis B is not an easy infection to manage as it presents frequent occurrences of abdominal pains, nausea and vomiting. The patient may also find out that his urine is black, but this may not be seen with prompt intervention.

A precaution to take to avoid these diseases is making sure only no-sweat mats are used in the gym you patronize. Thus, you should be ready to spend more money in such a place. On the other hand, persons looking forward to establishing a fitness center should not relent in buying mats that absorb heat to a great extent so that their customers can be safe from all these infections. As more people become health conscious, you will be making more money as a fitness center owner than your competitors who do not know about this.

You can clean the mats on your own because the procedure is not difficult. With dish soap or laundry detergent and some warm water, you are good to go. It is improper to use lots of detergent for the procedure.

Make sure you don't use the mat when wet. If you own a fitness center, you would have to buy more than one for an area so that while the other is still wet, you already have one that is dry. This way, you will have more people trooping in for training as you help to create a healthier society.
