How long after a meal should you exercise?

As everyone knows, exercise is the source of our life. Only by doing more exercise can we maintain our health and vitality. And if we do more exercise in our daily life, it will make us more energetic. However, some people exercise right after eating. Today, I will share with you the common sense of exercising after meals and how long it is appropriate to exercise after a meal.

First, half an hour after meal: In this half of the school, it is most appropriate to rest, sit quietly, chat with family and friends after meal, and talk about more happy topics after dinner.

Many people advocate taking a walk immediately after a meal to promote digestion and lose weight. In fact, I think this statement is not scientific, but it is not completely wrong. This depends on each individual. For people with good physical fitness, a light walk after a meal is also good, but for many people with poor physical fitness or gastrointestinal diseases, they must be very careful. They must rest well after a meal before they can do moderate exercise, even if it is a walk.

Secondly, 1 to 1.5 hours after a meal: At this time, the peak of food digestion has basically passed, and general exercise is not a problem. For example, brisk walking, jogging and other exercises can be slowly carried out. However, remember that strenuous exercise should be done in moderation. Especially when you have eaten a lot of high-protein and fat foods that are difficult to digest, the author recommends that you do not do strenuous exercise after this meal. If you plan to exercise, it is better to eat some easily digestible foods. Reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.

Next, two hours after meal: At this time, you can basically start various sports. It doesn’t matter. If you don’t exercise, it will be close to the next meal time, and you will have no time to exercise. At this time, digestion is basically coming to an end and the body enters a stage of stability and balance. It is also the time when you have the most energy. It is the best time to run or play ball at a higher intensity. A warm reminder: remember to drink plenty of water when exercising.
