Don't eat to exercise, too hungry. When you go to exercise after a full meal, it is easy to feel uncomfortable. However, after eating, I thought about resting for a while and then exercising, and I accidentally lay down for several hours. The original ambition: busy during the day, must start to lose weight at night, the result was planted on the "gutter" of "when can I exercise after meals".
Today, scientific rumors will teach you how to exercise scientifically after meals, and do not consume the will to exercise in hesitation.
01
Body after meals: Blood is preferentially supplied to the digestive system
Let's first look at what state our body is after eating.
After a full meal, our body's blood supply is concentrated in the digestive system. If you perform some strenuous exercise after eating, the blood needed to digest the food in the stomach will be sent to other parts of the body needed for exercise, causing indigestion, and even nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Running after a meal can cause pain in the flank, which is related to this. There are many causes of flank pain, one of which is related to the spleen. The spleen is an organ that stores spare blood, and immediately after a meal, vigorous exercise causes the spleen to contract rapidly to make up for the lack of blood, resulting in pain in the flank.
02
Half an hour after the meal, you can start walking
How long can I exercise after meals? Conclusion: The recommended starting time for light exercise such as walking is 30 minutes to 1 hour after a meal. For strenuous exercise, such as running, it is recommended to start more than 2 hours after a meal. This is the scientific after-meal exercise recommendation that scientists have drawn based on the digestive rhythm of our body.

Usually, after our body consumes low-fat, high-carb foods, the stomach will spend 1-2 hours to digest, while high-fat foods will take more than 6 hours to digest. Therefore, strenuous exercise such as running is best more than two hours after meals. At least these two hours to allow the body to digest food and blood circulation to return to normal.
But a light exercise like walking can start half an hour after a meal. 30 minutes to 1 hour after a meal, the body begins to digest food, absorb sugar, and blood sugar levels rise. Do some low-intensity exercise similar to walking at this time, and the body will have enough energy to lower blood sugar levels and prevent it from turning into fat.

This light exercise will not only slow down the rise in blood sugar levels, but also make the blood sugar worth the highest to control. In addition, walking has the benefit of helping our blood sugar levels start to drop as soon as possible after a meal.
Walking after meals is not only good for weight loss, but also good for controlling blood sugar. However, due to the different contents and amounts of food eaten, the digestion time will be different for each person. If you want to exercise as early as possible after a meal, you can choose to eat less at dinner and choose light foods.
Next time you are still struggling with when you can exercise at night, it is better to try to eat a good dinner, rest for half an hour and start walking, walking around!
