What are the downsides of strenuous exercise after a meal?

Sports has always been a hot topic. Some people love it, while others avoid it as soon as it is mentioned. However, there are often some doubts about exercise. Today I will answer the question of "Is strenuous exercise after a meal good or bad?" In fact, strenuous exercise after a meal is not good for our stomach and intestines for the following reasons.

1: When exercising and keeping fit, the timing of meals is very important. It is not advisable to engage in strenuous exercise before or after meals. There should be a certain interval of rest between exercise and meals. During exercise, our body needs to ensure oxygen and nutrients for muscles and bones.

The foundation of a healthy and successful life is health, and scientific exercise and nutrition are necessary conditions for obtaining and maintaining a healthy state. Paying attention to nutrition and following a scientific and reasonable diet can help you realize your inner potential in life, reduce energy waste in the body, relieve muscle and brain fatigue, eliminate tension, make you energetic, and face work and life in the best physical condition.

When exercising and keeping fit, you should pay special attention to the following points when eating: (1) Eat food that is easily digestible, clean, and nutritious.

(2) Do not drink purified water casually (when exercising, you sweat a lot and lose a lot of minerals. You should choose sports drinks such as Gatorade. Minerals are more often supplemented from fruits and vegetables in the diet).

(3) The diet should be light and not too full. Eat until you are 70% full.

(4) Appropriately increase the intake of foods such as milk, milk powder, pork liver, etc. to supplement fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin E, vitamin A, etc.) and iron, which directly help eliminate fatigue and improve physical fitness. The secretion of digestive juice and the digestion and absorption of food are beneficial to physical health. But you should start walking at least 20 minutes after a meal.

It is not advisable to run or exercise after a meal. Because after eating, the digestive organs need a large amount of blood supply to carry out intensive "work". If you run or exercise at this time, your skeletal muscles will inevitably "steal" a lot of blood, resulting in ischemia of the digestive tract. Not only will the gastrointestinal motility be weakened, but the secretion of digestive juice will also be significantly reduced, which will cause indigestion.

Before reading this article, do you know the answer to this question? Whether you love sports or not, we all need to understand these basic common sense, such as strenuous exercise after a meal is not good for our stomach. Therefore, I hope everyone will not exercise immediately after eating. It is best to rest for a while before exercising.
