Should I eat before morning exercise?

When the word "morning exercise" is mentioned, people will immediately think of the exercise done after getting up in the morning. Many people feel that the air is fresher in the morning. Exercising at this time can not only breathe fresh air, but also make the body stronger, so many people choose morning exercise. But although people are doing morning exercises, they are not very clear about what they need to pay attention to during morning exercises, such as whether it is better to do morning exercises after eating? Or is it better to exercise on an empty stomach?

Some elderly people like to do morning exercises first and then eat breakfast. In fact, this is unscientific. The elderly should eat some appropriate food before morning exercises, especially those with chronic diseases. Since nutrients have been digested and absorbed overnight, the body is in a low metabolic stage. If you do not get some supplements before exercise, it will easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But don't eat too much to prevent insufficient blood supply to various parts of the body during exercise, which can make people feel uncomfortable even for a short time. The most common symptom is dizziness. In severe cases, people may feel anxious, have weak legs, and become unstable. Elderly people with pre-existing heart problems may suddenly fall or even die.

At the same time, for elderly people with chronic diseases, medications must be used correctly according to doctor's orders or drug instructions. For some patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension, it is best to take some blood pressure-lowering drugs before morning exercises.

Morning jogging is a simple and easy way to exercise, and many girls prefer to use this method to keep in shape. But it should be noted that running on an empty stomach is actually harmful to your health. Because when running on an empty stomach, a person's blood sugar level will drop rapidly, and when the blood sugar level is low, it is easy to induce hypoglycemia, fainting, and arrhythmia. Therefore, you should eat a small amount of carbohydrates such as biscuits before jogging in the early morning.

Whether to eat during morning exercises should vary from person to person. If you have hypoglycemia, or are in a weak body, or are an elderly person, it is better to eat some food before morning exercises to avoid adverse reactions in your body. It is better for everyone to drink some boiled water before morning exercise to reduce the viscosity of the blood.
