Nowadays, exercising after waking up in the morning on an empty stomach has become a part of the daily routine of many people. Some people consider it an easy way of fitness routine, while some people have many questions related to it in their mind. After all, what changes occur in the body by exercising on an empty stomach and why does its effect differ on every person? Come, let us know some important things related to this from the expert.
Dr. Arvind Aggarwal, Director of the Department of Internal Medicine, Shri Balaji Action Medical Institute, says that exercising on an empty stomach is not necessary or appropriate for everyone. Let us know from the doctor who should exercise on an empty stomach and who should not.
Can one exercise on an empty stomach? If you want to do light exercise in the morning, like walking, yoga or moderate cardio, and you don’t mind exercising on an empty stomach, you can do so. But exercising on an empty stomach under pressure to lose weight or achieve better results can be harmful to your body.
For heavy exercisers: According to experts, for people who lift heavy weights, do high-intensity exercises or exercise for long periods of time, it is better to eat light and easily digestible food first. This provides energy to the body and can help in avoiding problems like weakness or dizziness.
Benefits of exercising on an empty stomach: Exercising on an empty stomach may reduce fat in the short term, but there is no strong evidence that it is definitely beneficial in weight loss in the long run. Therefore, exercise time should be decided according to the individual’s daily routine, goals and physical capacity.
When should you not make this mistake?: If you feel dizzy, weak, nervous or extremely tired while exercising on an empty stomach, you should stop exercising immediately. People suffering from diabetes, low blood pressure or any other disease should consult a doctor before starting exercise on an empty stomach.
