Should I eat before going to the gym to exercise?
It's best not to eat before fitness. Eat at least 30 minutes after exercise, and exercise at least 1 hour after meals.

After a full meal, gastrointestinal activity is enhanced, digestive juice secretion is increased, and the amount of blood needed in the process of digesting food is also increased.

At this time, if strenuous exercise is carried out immediately, the gastrointestinal activity and secretion of digestive juice will be inhibited due to the adjustment of nerve and body fluid factors, so that the blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract will be relatively reduced, and more blood will be supplied to the motor organs, resulting in weakened gastrointestinal digestive function and easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and pain.
