When is the best time to run?

The purpose of running is to exercise your body and allow your limbs to move, but running at irregular times can also harm your body. This problem mainly affects people living in cities, because air pollution is quite serious now, which is very detrimental to human health. So let us now learn about what time is best for running.

Don't run in the morning before the sun rises, and don't run in the evening after the sun sets. Why? Because we absorb a lot of oxygen when we exercise. There is a saying that plants exhale a lot of carbon dioxide after a night of metabolism, so the concentration of carbon dioxide in the woods is relatively high in the morning. In addition, the human body's basal metabolism is lower in the early morning, the blood sugar level is not high, and human blood pressure is higher in the morning. These all remind us that we should not do high-intensity exercise in the early morning.

At night, there is a lot of dust floating in the air, which is harmful to human health.

Also, avoid exercise for a period of time after a meal. Because of the after-meal sports meeting:

1. Stimulate the stomach and intestines: Exercising after a full meal will cause mechanical stimulation to the stomach and intestines, causing the dissolved substances in the stomach and intestines to vibrate left and right and up and down, which may cause symptoms such as vomiting and stomach cramps.

2. Blood flow distribution disorder: After eating, the digestive organs need a lot of blood for digestion and absorption. When the muscles of the whole body are exercising, a lot of blood is also required, which will deprive the digestive organs of blood and cause digestion and absorption disorders. This disorder not only affects the exercise effect but also harms the body.

3. Affects the effect of exercise: After the human body eats, the parasympathetic nerves in the body are easily inhibited. If the body wants to exercise at this time, the effect of exercise will be reduced.

4. After a meal, insulin secretion increases, which can inhibit the decomposition of fat and limit the source of energy. Due to less fat decomposition, weight loss exercises should not be performed during this time period.

Best time:

Morning period: from waking up (after sunrise) to before breakfast

Morning period: 2 hours after breakfast to before lunch

Afternoon session: 2 hours after lunch to before dinner

Evening period: 2 hours after dinner till early evening (before sunset).

The above article explains to us in detail what time is best for running. Generally speaking, you cannot do strenuous exercise after a meal, otherwise it will completely irritate your stomach and intestines, and even cause vomiting, which will also affect the effect of exercise. Therefore, it is best to run after sunrise.
