How long should you exercise after a meal?

Many people like to exercise immediately after a meal. At this time, our stomach has not digested yet. Immediate exercise may cause certain damage to our stomach. Do not develop this bad habit. You should rest for a while after a meal before exercising. Maybe many of us do not have a good grasp of the time period. Let us understand how long we should exercise after a meal.

30 minutes to an hour.

There should be a certain interval between exercise and meals. After eating, gastrointestinal activity increases, the secretion of digestive juices increases, and the amount of blood needed to digest food also increases. If you perform strenuous exercise immediately at this time, the regulation of nerves and humoral factors will inhibit gastrointestinal activity and the secretion of digestive juices, causing a relatively reduced blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract and more blood to be supplied to the motor organs, resulting in weakened gastrointestinal digestive function, which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and pain, and even indigestion. Similarly, you should wait for a certain period of time before eating after exercise, because the center that manages muscle activity is in a highly excited state during exercise, and the digestive organs are inhibited. The activity of the digestive organs needs a certain amount of time to recover. Therefore, you generally do not want to eat immediately after long-term intense exercise. You should rest for about 30 minutes after exercise before eating.

How long should we exercise after a meal? This is indeed something we need to pay great attention to, because nowadays many people have caused great damage to our bodies. This kind of damage is completely unnecessary and can be completely avoided. It would be great if we all knew something about this aspect in advance.
