General Lactic Acid Buildup Information
Lactic acid is a waste product produced by muscle tissue and red blood cells. When oxygen levels are high, the body breaks carbohydrates into water and carbon dioxide, but when oxygen is scarce, carbs used for energy turn into lactic acid. When exercisers “feel the burn”, they are actually experiencing excess amounts of lactic acid in their muscles. Very high levels of lactic acid can be dangerous, and even life-threatening. Lactic acid buildup is a reversible condition; when tissues are exposed to adequate amounts of oxygen, the acid is metabolized and bodily systems return to normal.

Possible Causes of Lactic Acid Buildup
Lactic acid levels increase when strenuous exercise or other situations cause an interruption in the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. Lactic acid buildup can also be attributed to shock, severe infection, AIDS and liver damage. Using a diabetic medication called metformin, while suffering from heart or kidney failure and severe infection can also trigger lactic acid buildup.

Possible Symptoms of Lactic Acid Buildup
Lactic acid buildup feels like the ache or burn people feel after strenuous lifting or aerobic activity. The pain can occur at any time while performing the activity or after the exercise session is over. Post-exercise soreness is also a common symptom.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Lactic Acid Buildup
The best way to return lactic acid levels to normal is to reduce the rate and difficulty of exercise. Lactic acid levels decrease much more quickly with slow exercise, like walking, than with no activity at all, so don’t give up on an exercise plan. Simply modify it to serve the body more efficiently. A sufficient “cool down” after strenuous exercise is also beneficial. Take regular rest periods, especially when lifting heavy weights, to allow the body to replenish its oxygen supply. If lactic acid buildup is a problem during running or cycling, try varying the intensity of the activity or alternating between several types of exercise from day to day. Working to “muscle failure” and “feeling the burn” is okay, as long as an exercisers remembers to rest between reps, take deep breaths and properly cooling down after each exercise session.
