Can I exercise immediately after a meal?

Many people hope to have a slim and slender figure, but they cannot resist the temptation of delicious food, which leads to regret after eating it. In order to reduce this regretful feeling, they often do some exercise after eating, hoping to consume as many calories as possible. So, can you exercise immediately after a meal? What should you pay attention to when exercising after a meal?

It is not suitable to exercise immediately after a meal:

1. Impact on the stomach and intestines: Exercising after a full meal will have a mechanical impact on the stomach and intestines, causing the dissolved substances in the stomach and intestines to stir left and right and up and down, which can cause vomiting, stomach cramps and other symptoms.

2. Affect the effect of weight loss exercise: After the human body eats, the parasympathetic nerves in the body are easily suppressed. At this time, if the body wants to exercise, the effect of exercise will be compromised.

3. Blood flow distribution imbalance: After a full meal, 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 to participate, so the blood volume of the digestive organs will be deprived, resulting in imbalance in digestion and absorption. This imbalance not only affects the exercise function but also damages the body.

In addition, from the effect on weight loss, insulin secretion increases after meals, which can inhibit the synthesis of fat, and the effect of weight loss exercises during this period will also be affected.

The best organization for post-meal exercise is:

It is best to do light exercise half an hour after a meal, such as walking, square dancing, etc.

Moderate exercise should be done about an hour after a meal, such as jogging, slimming exercises, etc.

High-intensity exercise can be performed two hours after a meal, such as basketball games, football games, etc.

If you want to lose weight, it's best to train at night. Exercising at night can help food digest faster and prevent fat from accumulating in the body. However, no matter how intense the exercise is, it will put the nervous system in an excited state, so it is best to wait for 1 hour before going to bed after exercise.

From this we can see that you should not exercise immediately after a meal, as this can cause gastrointestinal discomfort or even gastrointestinal diseases. If you want to exercise, it is best to do it half an hour after a meal, and it is best to do light exercise such as walking and square dancing. If you want to run, it is best to do it one hour after a meal, because all exercise should be based on good health.
