It is not appropriate to exercise immediately after a meal. Folklore is because "exercise immediately after meals leads to gastroptosis", which is a misunderstanding. The most common causes of gastroptosis are actually weak body, weak abdominal muscles and low abdominal pressure (that is, slim people), which is not directly related to whether they exercise after meals. Although some patients with severe gastroptosis may feel uncomfortable after exercise immediately after meals, it is not exercise that causes gastroptosis, but scientific exercise can enhance the strength of core muscle groups.
It is a misunderstanding that "it is not appropriate to exercise immediately after meals because blood helps digestion in the stomach". The human body has strong compensatory ability and dexterous adjustment ability. In life, we often exercise unconsciously while the digestive system is still working, but we will not feel uncomfortable.
Whether you feel uncomfortable after exercise after meals is directly related to the digestion and emptying of food in your stomach.
For most people, it is more appropriate to exercise 65438+ 0 ~ 3 hours after normal diet. If it's just a walk, as long as there is no obvious discomfort, after dinner. When eating more high-fat and high-fiber foods, the time interval can be appropriately extended. For gastroesophageal reflux disease, pyloric stenosis, functional dyspepsia, diabetic gastroparesis and some patients who take drugs, they need to wait longer than ordinary people to exercise.
In fact, the human body has a strong adjustment ability, which can be dynamically adjusted at any time according to the needs of various organs of the body. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about an organ ischemia. Moreover, the digestive process of the human body is not limited to 1 and 2 hours after meals. It takes 4 to 6 hours to empty the stomach, not to mention the time required for further digestion and absorption of the intestines. But no one will worry about having lunch at noon 12 and exercising at 4 pm will affect their digestion.
