Do you know these misunderstandings about the dangers of strenuous exercise after meals?

　　Exercise is the source of life. Only by exercising more can you maintain the health of your body. healthy and vitality. I usually like sports and like exercise People who are healthy will be very understanding and energetic. However, the fast pace of urban life now leaves us with less and less time to exercise. It’s not that many people don’t like exercise, but they are forced to have no time to exercise.

　　Many people often try their best to squeeze in time to exercise. If you squeeze in time to exercise, you will often go right after eating. Sometimes you will skip eating when you go to exercise. This is very unscientific. Well, exercise before and after meals is very particular, otherwise it will be harmful to the body.

　　1. First, let’s understand the dangers of rushing to exercise after a meal: We all know that exercise requires a large amount of blood to increase oxygen levels, but after a meal is the peak period of digestion and gastrointestinal movement. If we exercise immediately after a meal, more blood will flow to the moving muscles and bones, causing the digestive process of the gastrointestinal tract to be blocked. I believe many people have experienced the feeling of stomachache when exercising after a meal. This is a direct manifestation.

　　2. Over time, this bad living habit will easily cause more gastrointestinal problems disease . For example, common Stomach disease , appendicitis, etc. Once gastrointestinal disease occurs, it will accompany you for a lifetime. You must be careful about your diet at every meal. If you are not careful, you will be in pain and feel really uncomfortable. Therefore, exercise is important, but you must also be cautious and treat your stomach well.

　　How long after a meal can I exercise? How to exercise after a meal? First, half an hour after a meal: In this half of the school, rest, sit quietly, chat with family and friends after the meal, and talk more about happy topics after dinner. This is the most appropriate. Not only maintain a good mood, but also ensure the best digestion of food. There is also a saying that "take a walk after a meal and you will live to ninety-nine." Many people advocate taking a walk immediately after a meal to promote digestion and lose weight.

　　In fact, I think this statement is not scientific, nor is it completely impossible. This depends on each individual. For people with good physical fitness, a light walk after a meal is also good, but for many people with poor physical fitness or gastrointestinal diseases, they must be careful. They must rest well after meals before exercising moderately, even for a walk.

　　Secondly, 1 to 1.5 hours after a meal: At this time, the peak of food digestion has basically passed. General exercise does not matter. For example, exercises such as brisk walking and jogging can be carried out slowly. However, remember that strenuous exercise still needs to be moderated. Especially if you have eaten a lot of high-protein and fat foods that are difficult to digest, the author recommends that you do not exercise strenuously after this meal. If you plan to exercise, try to eat foods that are easy to digest. Reduce gastrointestinal burden.

　　Next, two hours after a meal: At this time, you can basically start various sports. It doesn’t matter. If you don’t exercise, it will not be far from the time for your next meal, and then you will have no time to exercise. At this time, digestion has basically come to an end and the body has entered a stable and balanced stage. It is also the time when you are most energetic. It is the best time to run with more intensity and play ball.

　　A warm reminder, remember to drink more water when exercising. Finally, let’s briefly summarize: In fact, how long to rest after a meal before exercising mainly depends on the individual’s physical constitution, the quantity and quality of the diet at that time, and the amount and intensity of subsequent exercise items. In daily life, you should develop good habits on your own and act according to your ability. Under normal circumstances, people who are healthy and exercise regularly can rest for an hour. ； As for those who are in sub-healthy condition, it is recommended to take more rest. Exercise is a good thing, but if you don’t harm your body, you will lose more than you gain.

　　Extended reading: What should you pay attention to after meals?

　　1. Don’t eat fruit immediately.

　　Fruits contain brass-like compounds, which are converted into dihydroxybenzoic acid by intestinal bacteria after ingestion. Ingested vegetables contain thiocyanates. Under the action of these two chemicals, they interfere with thyroid function and can lead to non-iodine goiter.

　　2. Don’t drink tea immediately.

　　Because the tannins contained in tea can combine with protein and iron in food to produce colloids or precipitated substances that are not easily absorbed, iron deficiency may occur in the long run. anemia and protein deficiency diseases.

　　3. Don’t smoke immediately.

　　Because gastric peristalsis speeds up after a meal, blood circulation increases, and capillaries dilate, which promotes the absorption of harmful substances in cigarettes. Smoking after a meal absorbs more than ten times the harmful substances in cigarettes than usual smoking. Smokers, please pay attention to your health.

　　4. Don’t drink more water immediately.

　　Drinking water immediately will increase the intragastric pressure, causing the food in the stomach to enter the small intestine before digestion. In addition, drinking water dilutes gastric juice, weakens the digestive power of gastric juice, is not conducive to gastric acid sterilization, and can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases.
