      Exercise on an empty stomach is harmful healthy ?

      People are always worried that exercising on an empty stomach will cause hypoglycemic reactions such as dizziness, fatigue, palpitation, etc. due to the large consumption of glycogen stored in the body, which is harmful to health.

      However, if the amount of exercise is appropriate, the heat energy consumption is small, and the energy stored in the body is sufficient, it will not affect health.

      Research shows that moderate exercise, such as walking, dancing, jogging, cycling, etc., 1-2 hours before meals (that is, on an empty stomach) can help lose weight. This is because no new fatty acids enter fat cells in the body at this time, making it easier to consume excess fat (especially Postpartum fat), the weight loss effect is better than exercising after meals.

      Is the higher the intensity of exercise, the better?

      Some obese people are very confident when they first participate in bodybuilding training. They are prescribed to train for 2 hours, but they practice for 4 hours. However, after a few days, they will feel depressed and listless. After practicing for a long time, they will be exhausted and unable to cheer up. This situation is caused by overtraining. If measures are not taken in time and continue to develop as usual, the symptoms will be aggravated, and even lead to chronic fatigue and the inability to train normally.

      In fact, only sustained low-intensity aerobic exercise can make people consume excess fat. Increased exercise intensity is not good, so easy, gentle, long-term low-intensity exercise or heart rate Long-term exercise maintained at 100-124 times/minute is most beneficial to weight loss.

      Is it better to exercise to lose weight in the morning or in the evening?

      When it comes to exercise to lose weight, almost all people will choose the morning, thinking that exercise in the morning not only fresh air, but also after a night's rest, people's physical strength is relatively sufficient, which can easily lead to better weight loss results.

      In fact, the above statement is incorrect, not to mention that the humidity of the air in the morning is high and there are many harmful floating matter in the air, which is not good for people's health. It is also not that people's blood sugar is generally low in the morning, which is not conducive to exercise. From the perspective of the form of fat alone, it makes sense to choose to exercise at night. First of all, most of human fat is formed at night. If you can exercise at night, you can consume the remaining calories in the body in time. Otherwise, after a night of exercise, fat will accumulate in the body. Over time, people will naturally gain weight. Therefore, experts believe that the ideal time for exercise is from 4 pm to 9 pm, and 7 pm to 9 pm is the best.

      Exercise in the evening can not only consume the energy consumed that day, but also use the fat stored in the body, so in the morning exercise The effect is far less than that of exercising in the evening.

      Now do you know whether it is better to exercise to lose weight in the morning or in the evening? So what are you waiting for? Act quickly.
