    It is not advisable to eat immediately after exercise.

    There are two reasons for this.

    First, the cerebral cortex center responsible for the movement of skeletal muscle and myocardium is in a relative excited state during exercise, while other parts are in a relative inhibition state, gastrointestinal peristalsis is weakened, and the secretion of digestive juices is reduced.

    The second is that during exercise, a large amount of blood is distributed in the locomotor system, and the blood in the digestive system decreases and the function decreases. Even if you stop exercising, you will still maintain the above conditions for a short period of time, so eating immediately after exercise will affect the digestion and absorption of food, which is not good for the body, and over time it can also cause indigestion, chronic gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases.

    Other than that. Pre-workout: It's best to eat high-fiber biscuits, raisins, or fresh fruit between the first 1 and 2 hours before exercising.

    After exercise: After exercising, it is easier to accept all kinds of drinks or liquid food after exercise, and at the same time you can replenish water, if you have not eaten a meal two hours after exercise, you can eat solid food to supplement sugars and proteins. Avoid caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, soda, and tea, after exercise.

    Because caffeine also has a diuretic effect, it will make your body not replenish enough water. While soda can also provide water and sugar, it is not a suitable post-workout drink.

    Be careful not to engage in strenuous activity immediately after eating, and avoid eating immediately after strenuous exercise, and eat after resting for 30-60 minutes. Food should be light and nutritious, and do not eat foods that are too cold, too hard or too greasy.

    Strenuous exercise after meals is mainly because exercise after meals may cause indigestion, and may cause stomach cramps, volvulus and severe abdominal pain. Usually after a meal, you should rest for a while, and then do a soothing exercise properly, which can help the digestion of the gastrointestinal tract.

    Usually the secretion of digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract increases after eating, which can help digestion, and strenuous exercise immediately after meals will inhibit the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juices to a certain extent, and the energy in the body is supplied to the muscle tissues of the whole body, and the energy of the gastrointestinal tract will be reduced, which will cause the weakening of the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, which may lead to indigestion, abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, gastric contents reflux and other symptoms. And immediately after a meal to go to strenuous exercise, can lead to a large amount of blood in the body into the muscle tissues of the body, the blood in the gastrointestinal tract will be reduced, and due to indigestion, the food in the stomach will appear under a heavy load**, which can only lead to the occurrence of stomach cramps, and in severe cases, it can also lead to volvulus, resulting in severe abdominal pain.

    It is recommended to rest for half an hour after eating, and then carry out less strenuous activities, such as walking, yoga and other exercises, which are conducive to intestinal peristalsis and promote gastrointestinal digestion.

    In addition, strenuous exercise should also be avoided before meals so as not to affect appetite.

    It is not advisable to run or exercise after a meal. Because after eating, the digestive organs need a lot of blood** to carry out intense work. If you run or exercise at this time, it will inevitably cause the skeletal muscles to steal a lot of blood, resulting in ischemia of the digestive tract, not only gastrointestinal'Peristalism is weakened, and the secretion of digestive juices is also significantly reduced, which can cause dyspepsia.

    Why do running or exercising after meals sometimes cause abdominal pain? The reasons can be the following:

    1. After eating, the stomach is full of food, and the stomach and intestines are vibrated during exercise, so that the mesentery connecting the gastrointestinal tract is stretched, causing abdominal pain.

    2. The distribution of blood during exercise is transferred from the digestive tract to skeletal muscle, which promotes ischemia of the digestive tract and leads to spasm of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in abdominal pain.

    3. The oxygen demand of the whole body increases during exercise, and the lung capacity of people who usually lack exercise is small, and it is easy to breathe shallow and fast when they are panting hard. This reduces the negative pressure in the chest cavity, resulting in obstruction of blood return to the liver, which leads to liver congestion and increased liver capsule tension, resulting in liver pain, which is manifested as right upper quadrant pain.

    4. Other gastrointestinal diseases, including appendicitis, occur during exercise after meals.

    In the first three cases, abdominal pain is relieved quickly after the exercise stops. The fourth condition is an organic disease, the pain lasts longer than the first three, and most of them will gradually worsen, for this kind of abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

    The length of time between a meal and before exercise depends on the amount of food and consumption, but other determining factors include age, physical condition and exercise intensity. Let's say this reader is an average middle-aged person! If you eat a large amount of food before exercising, and most of the meals are mainly high in protein and fat, the interval should be more than two hours, and if the meal is small and carbohydrate-based, the interval can be shortened to 30 minutes to 1 hour.

    Any changes are best taken gradually, but if there are any muscle or digestive problems, they need to be paused.

    Generally speaking, it is better for people who do not exercise regularly and those who are frail to exercise an hour after eating. Formal workouts and vigorous competitions are best done an hour after eating. Not doing strenuous exercise after meals does not preclude easy exercise after meals, and everyone can do a moderate amount of exercise according to their own conditions, such as walking or doing other light activities, which is still beneficial to improving health.

    1.It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise within 1 hour after eating, otherwise it is easy to affect the secretion of gastric acid, cause indigestion, and easily cause gastrointestinal diseases.

    2.Since the food in the stomach has not been digested just after eating, the stomach will vibrate with the body during exercise, and it is easy to have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, which may also lead to stomach sagging.

    3.Exercising immediately after a meal can predispose to abdominal pain.

    It is also not suitable to exercise on an empty stomach, which is easy to cause hypoglycemia, so try to do appropriate exercise 1 hour after meals. When exercising, you should pay attention to the amount of exercise to avoid physical injury.

    During exercise, the blood of the whole body of the human body will be concentrated in the motor organs**, the amount of blood in the abdominal organs is relatively reduced, and the gastrointestinal peristalsis and the secretion of digestive glands are also temporarily weakened. Eating immediately after exercise can cause gastrointestinal problems if the stomach and intestines cannot digest food properly. You should do some tidying activities, rinse your mouth with warm water, scrub your body, change your clothes, drink a few sips of lightly salted warm water, and eat again for about half an hour.

    Although running is a simple exercise, improper movements can also cause diseases. If you do not prepare for the official run, due to the inertia of the heart, you will not be able to adapt to the load for a while, which will cause respiratory muscle disorder and cause stomach pain.

    It is not advisable to eat immediately after exercise, generally speaking, you should rest for at least 30 to 45 minutes before eating, and rest longer after strenuous exercise, and you should eat again 1 2 hours after exercise.

    For a period of time after exercise, the blood is still relatively concentrated in the muscles, ** and other parts, and the gastrointestinal tract is still in a relatively ischemic state. Eating causes blood to redistribute, and the digestive system needs to mobilize blood from other parts of the body. If eaten immediately after exercise, it can cause the gastrointestinal tract and muscles to compete for blood.

    On the one hand, it will affect the post-exercise recovery process of muscles, and on the other hand, it will make the liver, pancreas and other internal organs quickly enter the state of digestion and secretion after vigorous exercise metabolism, and cannot get a functional intermittent time. Eating foods containing more meat immediately after exercise can cause acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, and even accidental death if the blood cannot return to the digestive system for a while. During exercise, the sympathetic nerve will be more excited, and the corresponding parasympathetic nerve will be inhibited, at this time, the secretion of digestive glands such as salivary glands and pancreas will be reduced, and gastrointestinal peristalsis will slow down, which is generally not conducive to digestion and absorption.

    At this time, if you eat immediately, it will put a great burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it is important to wait for enough rest time before eating when the blood and internal organs have returned to a quiet state.
