Therefore, whether to eat after exercise is a question worth thinking about. A person thinks that eating after exercise is not in vain! In fact, if you are hungry after exercise and don't eat, you may exercise in vain. The reason is this, because glycogen is consumed during exercise, and the body will supplement it in the form of fat after exercise, which will consume fat. If you don't eat after exercise, you won't have enough glycogen reserves and you won't be able to consume fat. Moreover, the nutritional intake after exercise is helpful to restore physical fitness, promote muscle synthesis, and have better training effect.
Eating after exercise can make you more energetic the next day, which is a virtuous circle. However, if you don't eat after training, you won't have the strength to exercise, which is a vicious circle.
If you are hungry, first of all, drink more water. Be sure to replenish water in time during exercise. Maybe you are not hungry, just sweating and losing water. People who drink 8 glasses of water a day consume 200 kilocalories less food than those who drink less. If you are really hungry, in addition to normal consumption, there may be something wrong with your eating habits, and the eating style before and after exercise will have an impact.
It is recommended to eat within 45 minutes after exercise, because carbohydrates ingested within 1 hour after exercise are the least likely to be converted into fat. The food eaten after exercise will first repair the lack of sugar in the body, and insulin secretion will increase after fitness. Naturally, you don't have to worry about sweating! ? Taking carbohydrates within 30 minutes after exercise can restore blood sugar balance and promote the absorption of protein. Protein can promote muscle repair, so carbohydrates and protein are the best CP at this time!
Therefore, after exercise, eating something in moderation will help your body get better, but not eating it will do the opposite!
