Can I eat after exercising?

With the improvement of social level, more and more people have begun to pay attention to physical exercise, and many people do a lot of exercise every day. Some people believe that a lot of calories and water are consumed after exercise, so they need to eat to replenish them, while others believe that they should rest more after exercise and not eat immediately. What's going on? Then let me explain to you whether you can eat after exercise.

1. Drink a glass of water after exercise. If you sweat a lot, add some salt or drink sports drinks. It is best to eat after thirty to forty minutes. Eating too early will not have time to consume fat.

2. It depends on the intensity and amount of exercise. It is generally believed that after strenuous exercise, you should rest for an hour before eating.

Physical exercise can improve the function of the digestive organs, make people happy, increase appetite, and increase the secretion of digestive juices, thereby improving the body's ability to digest and absorb. However, if you do not pay attention to food hygiene during physical exercise, such as drinking cold boiled water or raw water during exercise, doing strenuous exercise immediately after a meal, or eating immediately after strenuous exercise, it will have an adverse effect on the function of the digestive organs. Over time, it will cause indigestion and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, you should pay attention to food hygiene during physical exercise.

There should be a certain interval between exercise and meals. After eating a full meal, gastrointestinal activity increases, the secretion of digestive juices increases, and the amount of blood needed to digest food also increases. If you perform strenuous exercise immediately at this time, the regulation of nervous and humoral factors will inhibit gastrointestinal activity and the secretion of digestive juices, causing a relative decrease in the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, while more blood will be supplied to the motor organs, leading to weakened gastrointestinal digestive function.

It can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and pain, and even cause indigestion. Similarly, you should wait for a certain period of time before eating after exercise, because the center that manages muscle activity is in a highly excited state during exercise, and the digestive organs are inhibited. The activity of the digestive organs needs a certain amount of time to recover. Therefore, you generally do not want to eat immediately after long-term intense exercise. You should rest for about 30 minutes after exercise before eating.

Through the above introduction, everyone should now know that you cannot eat immediately after exercise. Generally speaking, you need to rest for a while after exercise, replenish some water, and then eat after a period of time. Otherwise, it is easy to cause indigestion, which can easily increase the burden on the stomach.
