Is it better to run in the morning or in the evening?

Environmental pollution is quite serious nowadays, causing many people to be afraid to go out, fearing that the poor air quality will cause harm to their bodies. Many people like running very much, which makes it difficult for them to choose the time to run. Many people don’t know whether it is better to run in the morning or in the evening. So is it better to run in the morning or in the evening? Let’s see how the editor answers this question.

1. The best time to run is not fixed. Running in each time period has its advantages and disadvantages. Running in the morning can wake up the body, stimulate the nerves, make the body flexible and the mind agile. When running in the afternoon, the human body is in the best condition, which can make the exercise more effective. According to the records of the Department of Health, the air quality is better in the afternoon, and the best air quality time of the day is around 1:00 p.m. Running at this time can also reduce the inhalation of polluted air. After running at night, the brain secretes more melatonin and growth hormone when you sleep, which can promote the growth of adolescents and improve immunity in adults, and improve sleep quality.

2. As far as health is concerned, it is effective to start exercising at any age. If you have time, exercise more; if you don’t have time, exercise less. As long as you move, it’s fine, even if it’s just one move or one posture. When is the best time to exercise? This is a controversial question. It is said that plants exhale a large amount of carbon dioxide after a night of metabolism, so the concentration of carbon dioxide in the woods is relatively high in the morning, and some dust is also floating in the air, which is not good for human health. In addition, people's blood pressure is higher in the morning, which can easily lead to problems. In fact, whether to exercise in the morning depends mainly on the purpose of exercise.

3. If you want to lose weight or increase your memory of sports skills, morning is very good. When people wake up in the morning, they have almost consumed most of the energy they ate last night. If they exercise without eating at this time, it will lead to one result - "burning" fat. Because the energy is gone in the morning, there is still some glycogen in the liver. When the concentration of this glycogen drops to a certain level, fat "burning" will become the dominant energy supply, making weight loss possible. Therefore, morning exercise has special benefits for weight loss and preventing and treating fatty liver. In addition, it is easier to master aerobics, ballroom dancing, Tai Chi... any skill in the morning than at other times. Therefore, in a sense, the health benefits of exercising in the morning are greater.

After realizing whether it is better to run in the morning or in the evening, we can definitely choose the time to run easily. In fact, we all know that there are many sports in life that can be done indoors. If we are worried about the bad air outside, we can choose to do our fitness exercises indoors. Finally, I hope everyone is healthy and safe!
