Everyone knows that weight loss needs to be combined with exercise, so when is the best exercise? Below, The Chief Dietitian of Limele takes you to reveal:
The answer: night. Because the highest point of human physical exertion is at night, physical strength, heart rate, and blood pressure are stable and low, and the body's ability to move at night is fully developed, and it is easier to adapt to the state of exercise.
Our body has a regularity, that is, to give priority to the use of external energy, when the energy of what we eat is not consumed, it will not mobilize your own reserves of energy and fat, so daytime exercise consumes more energy obtained from food. Since you want to lose weight, you will reduce the intake of food accordingly, and about 2 hours after the meal, the food can be consumed, and this time exercise consumes the body's fat. At the same time, exercise will produce a slight feeling of fatigue, which can greatly improve the quality of sleep.
So why is it not suitable for exercise in the morning?
Morning exercise is not conducive to good health, because before the sun comes out, plants can not photosynthesis, and after a night of respiration, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is higher, if the morning fog is not dispersed, the dissolved acid, alkali, benzene and other harmful substances in the fog are easy to cause damage to the respiratory tract.
In addition, the corticosteroid content in the body will increase after morning exercise, which not only cannot enhance the physique, but also often increases blood pressure due to corticosteroids, inhibiting normal immune function. At the same time, the reserve of liver glycogen declines on an empty stomach, the main function of liver glycogen is to maintain a stable blood sugar level, if the fasting exercise will consume a lot of liver glycogen energy, this time it is easy to appear hypoglycemia and other manifestations.
Moreover, for office workers, getting up early is a very difficult thing, even if you force yourself to get up at six o'clock in the morning to exercise for half an hour, then the next full day is sleepy, which affects both work and mood, can not insist, weight is difficult to lose.
According to the article "The Influence of Aerobics on Weight Loss Effects in Different Periods", it was concluded that after 6 months of systematic aerobic exercises, aerobic exercises were carried out for locally obese and obese experimenters in three periods: morning, afternoon and evening, and finally confirmed that aerobics in the evening period had the best effect on weight loss. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of weight loss or physical health, it is recommended that everyone exercise at night
Although exercise is good at night, the premise is to take the first step: get moving!
