Should I run on an empty stomach or after a meal?

Nowadays, people pay more attention to their health, so they choose to do sports. Among them, running is a common sport in life and is relatively simple. It can not only lose weight but also play a role in fitness. However, many people are still unclear about the knowledge of running, such as running on an empty stomach or running after meals. Many people need to figure it out in time, because only by understanding this knowledge can they get good results from running. The following introduces whether to run on an empty stomach or after meals?

If you eat immediately after running before a meal. Actually, it's hard to say. Logically speaking, as long as you can eat, eating immediately after running will not do any major harm to the human body (in high school, boys would rush to the cafeteria to eat after playing ball, before their sweat had dried). However, it is worth noting that some people may feel full (it varies from person to person) and experience stomach cramps after exercise. It is best to take a short break before eating.

Some people may think that running after a meal will cause appendicitis. In fact, it is not the case. There is no absolute relationship between exercising after a meal and appendicitis. And it will not cause indigestion. But generally speaking, most people feel uncomfortable exercising after a meal. Subjectively speaking, how can you feel comfortable running with a lot of stuff in your stomach? Furthermore, if you consume high-sugar and high-osmotic foods during meals, it can easily lead to side stitches during exercise.

Whether to run on an empty stomach (meaning not eating after getting up in the morning) also depends on your own conditions. Generally speaking, as long as you are in good physical condition, running for 20-30 minutes is fine and there is no need to worry about hypoglycemia. And running on an empty stomach is beneficial for fat loss.

Sleeping after running is not a bad thing, but are you sure you can sleep? After running, the body's metabolism speeds up and the heartbeat does not slow down so quickly, so it is difficult to fall asleep.

Running has become a common sport in life, and it is also an exercise often involved in weight loss and fitness in life. However, people don’t know much about running on an empty stomach or after a meal. If you can’t understand this knowledge in time, you won’t be able to run correctly and you won’t achieve the effect of running. I hope everyone can carefully read the knowledge introduced above.
