Can I go running after dinner?

In today's society, there is a very popular type of people who have a heart that wants to be thin but a mouth that loves to eat. Many people become fat and bloated because they cannot control their mouths and cannot resist the temptation of delicious food. Therefore, many people regret having a big meal and want to resist the weight by exercising. Most people choose to do exercise after dinner. So, can you run after dinner?

Running after dinner can help you lose weight, but you cannot run immediately after dinner, otherwise it will cause gastroptosis and indigestion. No matter what time you eat, do not do exercise, especially strenuous exercise. Because when the human body is exercising, the blood in the whole body will automatically redistribute blood according to the amount of blood required by each tissue part during exercise. Tissue parts with a lot of exercise will get more blood and energy than tissue parts with a small amount of exercise. In other words, tissue parts like the stomach that do not participate much in exercise will not be allocated much blood during the exercise. Just after eating, the stomach needs energy to break down and digest food, so it is not suitable to run at this time.

It is recommended to exercise half an hour to an hour after dinner. At this time, the feeling of fullness is not so strong and the body can digest normally. And if the purpose is to lose weight, you should not add food after running, as this will be counterproductive.

In addition, you can choose to run before meals. Running before dinner is significantly better than running after dinner for weight loss. Running before dinner mobilizes fat for energy, reduces people's appetite for lipid and sugar foods, and makes it easier for people to reduce their intake of energy substances.

2pm to 4pm is a good time to strengthen your physical strength, as the human body's muscle endurance is 50% higher than at other times. As mentioned earlier, people's athletic ability reaches its highest point between 5pm and 7pm, which is suitable for running to lose weight. After a meal is not a suitable time to exercise as it will hinder digestion and damage the stomach over time. You need to rest for 30-45 minutes before running.

From the above we know that the answer to the question of whether you can run after dinner is yes, but it also rings a wake-up call for everyone. Don’t regret too much after dinner and rush to go running, as this will have adverse effects on your body. If you want to lose weight but can’t control your diet, you might as well try the above method.
