Ten o'clock in the morning is the freshest time of the day. In the early morning, there is heavy dew on the mountain, and the air is full of accumulated moisture and high concentration of pollutants. In addition, the carbon dioxide concentration is also high due to the respiration of plants all night. The air quality is very bad, which can easily irritate the respiratory system and cause coughing or throat discomfort. Therefore, it is not recommended to go hiking before 8 o'clock in the morning. You can have breakfast around 8 o'clock and wait until the sun rises at 9 o'clock before going hiking.

However, be careful not to forget to bring a bottle of light salt water to replenish water in time to avoid dehydration due to excessive sweating.

In autumn, there are fewer mosquitoes on the mountain and the climate is more suitable, neither too hot nor too cold, which is the most suitable for mountain climbing. Of course, there is no seasonal restriction for mountain climbing. You can exercise by climbing mountains all year round, because the scenery on the mountain is different in each season.

If you are going to hike immediately after eating, it is recommended to eat only 50% full, so as to ensure the blood sugar level, avoid hypoglycemia halfway through the hike, and avoid stomach pain when exercising with a full stomach. The liver contains less glycogen in the early morning, and hiking is an exercise that requires a lot of physical strength. Hiking on an empty stomach is prone to hypoglycemia and dizziness, and the free fatty acids produced by fat decomposition will also increase the burden on the heart.
