What is the best time to run in the morning in summer?

More and more people are running. Some people like to run at night and some people like to run in the morning. In fact, there are many harmful substances in the air in the morning that are not absorbed by green plants, so the environment in the morning is not good. After a night's rest, the body's functions have not fully awakened in the morning, so exercising at this time is not particularly good for the body. In the summer, the sun rises early, so people who like to jog in the morning can choose to get up and run. This article introduces some content about running, let’s take a look.

1. Although many people know that running on an empty stomach is bad, most athletes do not pay attention to it. Health experts believe that running or exercising on an empty stomach is very harmful to the human body.

Therefore, our normal exercise requires energy to maintain, and we humans mainly obtain energy from food. If we run on an empty stomach, the energy to maintain the exercise can only be obtained by burning fat.

This is one of the reasons why people often recommend losing weight through exercise.

2. In addition, exercising on an empty stomach will cause a significant increase in free fatty acids in the human blood. If there are excessive free fatty acids, "poisons" that damage the myocardium will appear. This "poison" often causes abnormal heart rhythms and even sudden death.

3. It is good to drink water in the morning, but not before a morning run.

Drinking a glass of boiled water when you get up every morning is good for your health, but if you want to run, you should wait 20 minutes after drinking water. Long-term running on an empty stomach may cause "stitches" and stomach problems.

If you have the habit of running in the morning, you should drink water 20 to 30 minutes in advance, but you should not drink too much water. Drinking water in the morning can relieve last night's dehydration and regulate body fluid concentration to a balanced state; it is also beneficial for the timely excretion of metabolic products accumulated overnight. After running (rest for 15 minutes), you should replenish water appropriately. The best thing is to drink a moderate amount of salt water, which is more beneficial to your health.

4. Running after a meal or eating immediately after running will cause a decrease in gastric acid secretion, affecting the digestion of food. Over time, it will cause stomach problems. It is generally better to exercise 1 hour after a meal. Running before going to bed is not good. Exercising before going to bed will put the cerebral cortex in a highly excited state, resulting in adverse reactions such as dreaming or difficulty falling asleep.

However, it is not advisable to do high-intensity exercise on an empty stomach in the morning. If the distance of a long run is relatively long, you can first drink a small cup of sugar water or eat a little snack.
