What is the reason for the secretion of a lot of saliva while doing sports or jogging? Is it better to spit it out and why?
May 5, 2013
It's normal, when jogging/doing sports an activation of parasympathetic nervous system takes place which in turn will increase the secretion of saliva in your mouth. It's better to spit it out because it can choke you if it's accumulates a lot.

-Joggers who smoke or who have recently quit smoking will produce more mucous as their lungs work to clean themselves during exertion.
-runners with even mild allergies might notice they are producing more saliva or mucus. Seasonal allergies can cause runners to wheeze and suffer from runny noses and watery eyes
-Some medications can cause increased saliva production, which might become exacerbated when jogging
-YEs better to spit it out , and carry a bottle of water or a sports drink and take frequent small sips to prevent dehydration. Swish around small amounts of the drink in your mouth every 10 minutes or so
