It is better to exercise on an empty stomach at night

Many people know that excessive obesity can lead to many chronic diseases and puts a heavy burden on various joints of the body. Therefore, losing weight has become a major task for obese people. There are many ways to lose weight, such as through medication, diet therapy or massage. In fact, exercise and fitness are the safest and most reliable ways to lose weight. Not only can you lose weight, but you can also exercise your body. So what is the effect of exercising on an empty stomach at night? Is it feasible? Here we will talk about the effects of working out on an empty stomach at night.

Various exercises will have different effects on human health, and some exercises can indeed help lose weight. However, if you think that you can lose weight just by exercising, you are wrong. In terms of exercise volume, different exercise methods, different times, and different intensities will consume different amounts of calories and fat. For example, when doing moderate-intensity exercise within 30 minutes, 35% of the calories consumed come from fat; after 40 minutes, the proportion rises to more than 40% from fat. After that, as time goes by, more and more fat is consumed. About 48% of the calories consumed in one hour of jogging come from fat.

When we do short-term exercise for less than 20 minutes in the early morning, the calories consumed mainly come from the protein and carbohydrates in the muscles. Therefore, exercise cannot achieve the effect of weight loss at this time. But if you exercise on an empty stomach before dinner, such as taking a brisk walk or jogging, most of the calories you consume will come from fat. Therefore, if you want to achieve the goal of losing weight through exercise, you must not only grasp the appropriate amount of exercise, but also master the time of exercise. "Time" is very important! Blindly engaging in "exercise to lose weight" may result in nothing but hard work.

Through the above comparison, you can know that exercising on an empty stomach at night is actually the best. That's why we always see a lot of people working out in the evening. On the other hand, it is better to exercise at night. When exercising in the morning, there are many dust particles floating in the air, which will be inhaled during exercise and may affect the respiratory system. The air quality is relatively good in the evening. Therefore, exercising on an empty stomach at night will be more effective in losing weight.
