When is the best time to do aerobic exercise?

There are many aerobic exercises around us. Aerobic exercises have many benefits to human health. Not only can they help burn fat during exercise, but they can also improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and prevent various diseases that are prone to occur in the body. Below, the editor will introduce at what time to do aerobic exercise to have a better effect on your health.

Recently, a study by German scientists showed that exercise is beneficial only during leisure time, and physical activity done during stressful work has more harm than good to the heart. This is because work-related physical activity tends to be a burst of exercise that does not provide the body with cardiovascular benefits. Researchers point out that people who exercise less than an hour a week during leisure time can reduce their risk of heart disease by 15% compared with those who do not exercise. If you can exercise for two hours during your leisure time every week, your chances of developing heart disease can be further reduced to 40%. Even simple aerobic exercise, such as low-intensity walking or brisk walking, can significantly reduce the risk of death from heart disease. Analysis shows that when people walk briskly, their energy consumption increases and they obtain the additional energy needs from the fat stored in the body. During the recovery period after exercise, dietary fat is extracted from the blood to replenish fat storage depots, thereby lowering blood lipid levels and benefiting the prevention of coronary heart disease.

Another foreign study found that exercising for a certain period of time before enjoying a rich and greasy meal can reduce the damage caused by fat to blood vessel function. Foods containing more fat can cause a temporary increase in blood lipid levels and cause certain damage to the function of the vascular endothelium. Exercise before meals can minimize this damage. Before a meal, the human body is generally in a state of hunger, the fat in the body is in a state of decomposition, and some fatty acids are released into the blood. If you increase your activity level moderately at this time, you can effectively consume energy and reduce fat. On the contrary, exercise after a meal is not conducive to digestion and absorption in the digestive tract, and it cannot effectively reduce fat and lose weight.

If you want to lose weight through aerobic exercise, in addition to insisting on using the correct method to exercise, it is best to control your diet reasonably. Eating some nutritious and low-calorie foods is very beneficial for weight loss. Especially for those friends who are used to eating snacks at night, they must control themselves more.
