How much time do you need to exercise after a meal .. “Its consequences are dire”
Today, Sunday, the Spanish newspaper "Marca" published a specialized report on the ideal time that the body needs to exercise after eating a heavy or light meal, warning of the danger of not paying attention to such details that may lead to health damage with "serious consequences" on the body.
The report said that "eating food and then exercising after a short time leads to several problems such as intestinal problems, cramps, nausea and vomiting."
For most people, one to two hours after a meal is enough to wait before exercising, while half an hour after a snack is enough, the report noted.
It is preferable to empty the stomach of food to avoid health problems that may occur.
And if you do endurance sports like running or cycling, you should wait a little longer, and eat some fast-digesting carbohydrates during your workout.
An important tip is to avoid foods that are high in fat, protein or fiber, as they are more likely to have a negative effect on your digestive system.
