People often hear statements about “not exercising immediately after a meal” and “not taking a shower immediately after a meal.” Are these claims credible? Need an order for bathing, exercising, eating?

According to my own experience, I can exercise first, then eat, and finally take a bath. But what I have to declare is: “It is not advisable to exercise immediately after a meal”, “It is not advisable to take a shower immediately after a meal”, “It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after exercise” and so on, many of the reasons behind not tenable .

Don’t take it for granted

I searched these statements online and found that there are many similar “warnings” not only in China, but also abroad, such as what to wait after a meal It takes 30 minutes to take a bath. Taking a bath soon after exercising will cause the body temperature to drop (also say to rise), blood flow to various parts, and so on.

I think the key is that it is easy for humans to associate a certain lifestyle habit for a period of time with certain diseases that occur later. In fact, the two may have been just successive relationship, but as causality.

For example, many people say that exercising after meals can cause gastroptosis. In fact, gastroptosis is mainly an anatomical location, not a serious problem, and It often occurs in some relatively thin people, and some people say that the problem of bathing, if it is a patient with a heart disease, we do when bathing, eating and even defecation. >Be careful the effects of cardiac nerve changes on the body, but this is well within the regulated range for healthy people.

Some people say that bathing may lower your body temperature, and then your arteriovenous dilation increases peripheral blood flow, blood pressure drops, and your stomach digests less, etc., but This is also not confirmed. Of course, if it is a person with digestion problems, a person with heart function problems is indeed more likely to appear in this state >Uncomfortable… that’s still something to be aware of. Also having a sauna and a normal shower are two different things.

In short, the human body has its own rhythm and strong self-regulation ability. For healthy people, as long as you have no discomfort, you don’t have to take it too seriously. The influence of interval and intensity may be far greater than the order of the three. If you are hungry, go to the sauna immediately, and if you are drunk, go swimming. Don’t rely on me.

My Choice

Finally, let me talk about the method that I am more used to. If I exercise normally, I may have to choose it after get off work, so I am a little hungry at this time, but I have not reached a very high level. In a hungry state, exercising at this time is more conducive to mobilizing fat, without really low blood sugar or lack of energy to exercise (the big deal is that you eat a fruit). At the same time, the temperature is not very low at this time, the inhalable particles in the air are still less than at night, and the sunshine is not very strong. At this time, exercise is more suitable, and there are not many people in the gym.

After a workout I go home to cook and then eat. So actually taking into account the post-workout stretch during this time, taking into account you changing clothes, doing the washing and cooking, it’s been a long time since you’re eating and it’s not a problem at all, even if you’re in If you do not have the conditions to eat dinner within 30 minutes after exercise, you can also eat a little carbohydrate-rich, protein-rich food first, which will help enhance your muscle synthesis.

As for taking a shower after eating, I personally don’t think it’s a very urgent thing. You can take a shower an hour before going to bed. If you are in a hurry, you can of course take a shower after a meal. Just go take a shower.
