How long can I exercise after meals?
1, half an hour after dinner
During this half hour, we should give priority to rest and don't do sports. Many people advocate taking a walk immediately after meals, saying that it will promote digestion and help to lose weight. This statement is unscientific, because for people with good physical fitness, a little exercise and a little walk after meals are good for their health, but their physical fitness is not good, so we should pay attention to exercise after meals.
2. After meals 1 to 1.5 hours.
During this period, the peak period of food digestion has basically passed, and general exercises such as brisk walking and jogging can be slowly carried out, but remember that strenuous exercise is not allowed.
3. 2 hours after meals
At this time, basically all kinds of exercises can be carried out, because digestion has come to an end and the body has entered a stable and balanced stage. This time is also the most energetic time. You can run and play with greater intensity.
The benefits of practicing yoga
1, flexibility
The first impression of yoga is to enhance flexibility, which is an important part of good health. Yoga can help us relax our muscles. If your muscles are too stiff, it will increase the pressure on your joints.
2. Muscles and postures
Exercising muscles can not only make people have a better figure, but also prevent arthritis and back pain. The balance between strength and flexibility can be achieved through yoga practice. Your head is like a bowling ball. It's big, round and heavy. If you move a few inches forward, the muscles in your shoulders, neck and back will be tense. After a long time, it will not only lead to muscle fatigue, but also cause bone and joint inflammation in the neck and back spine.
3, joints and spine
Your desire to exercise, they are like sponges. Only when you squeeze them will they absorb new nutrients. Yoga can stretch and twist by practicing some movements, which can help us promote the movement of joints and spine.
4. Bones
Many studies have shown that weight-bearing exercise can increase bone strength and prevent osteoporosis. Many movements in yoga require you to support your weight. For example, the upper dog type and the lower dog type strengthen the arm bones that are most prone to osteoporosis.
5, blood circulation and lymphatic system
Yoga can promote blood and lymphatic circulation. When twisting the body, venous blood is squeezed out from various organs; When relaxing, fresh arterial blood flows back to the organs. Inverted posture promotes the blood return of lower limbs to the heart. When you contract and stretch your muscles and move your organs to pose in various yoga postures, lymphatic circulation is also promoted, which can improve people's immunity, resist inflammation and remove the garbage produced by cells.
