People often hear about "it is not advisable to exercise immediately after meals" and "it is not advisable to take a bath immediately after meals", are these statements credible? Do baths, exercises, and meals need to be arranged in a sequence?
In my own experience, I can use the order of exercising first, then eating, and finally bathing. But what I must state is that many of the reasons behind it, such as "it is not advisable to exercise immediately after meals", "it is not advisable to take a bath immediately after meals", and "it is not advisable to take a bath immediately after exercise", are untenable.
Don't take it for granted
I searched for these several statements on the Internet, and found that not only in China, but also in foreign countries, there are many similar "warnings", such as what to wait 30 minutes after meals to take a bath, bathing soon after exercise will make the body temperature drop (also said to rise), blood flow to various parts and so on.
I think the key is that it is easy for human beings to associate a certain habit of their own life with some subsequent diseases, but in fact, the relationship between the two may have been only sequential, but it was regarded as a causal relationship.
For example, many people say that after-meal exercise will lead to stomach sagging, in fact, stomach sagging is mainly an anatomical position, not a serious problem, and often appears in some relatively thin people, and some people say that the problem of bathing, if it is a patient with heart disease, we do have to be careful about the impact of heart nerve changes on the body when bathing, eating and even defecating, but this is completely within the adjustable range for healthy people.
Others say that bathing may lower body temperature, and then your arteriovenous dilation increases peripheral blood flow, blood pressure drops, resulting in a decrease in your stomach digestive response, etc., but this has not been confirmed. Of course, if you are a person who has a problem with digestive function, a person who has a problem with the function of the heart itself, it is indeed more likely to be uncomfortable in this state... That's still important to watch out for. A sauna and a general shower are two different things.
In short, the human body has its own rhythm and strong self-regulation ability, for healthy people as long as you do not have any discomfort and do not have to take too seriously, the impact of interval time and intensity may be much greater than the order between the three, if you eat immediately go to the sauna, drunk to go swimming accident can not rely on me.
My choice
Finally, let's talk about my personal more accustomed method, I generally exercise may have to choose after work, then I belong to a little bit of hunger at this time, but have not yet reached a very hungry state, this time to exercise is more conducive to mobilizing fat, and will not really be low blood sugar or no strength to exercise (big deal you eat a fruit). At the same time, the temperature is not very low at this time, the inhalable particles in the air are still less than at night, the sunshine is not very strong, at this time exercise is more suitable, and the gym people are not very many.
After my workout I would go home and cook and then eat. Therefore, in fact, during this time, considering the stretching after exercise, considering that you change clothes, wash dishes and cook, it has been a long time since you eat, and there is no problem at all, and even if you do not have the conditions to eat dinner within 30 minutes after exercise, you can also eat a little carbohydrate-rich food that contains a certain amount of protein on your own, which will help enhance your muscle synthesis.
As for taking a bath after eating, in fact, I personally don't think it is a very anxious thing, you can put the bath an hour before going to bed, if you are in a hurry to take a bath, of course, you can also go to the bath after the meal.
In short, it is good to choose according to your own habits.
