What to eat before aerobics

It is the most common choice to eat foods with low GI, a small amount of high-quality protein, low fat and low crude fiber 1-2 hours before aerobic exercise. It will not cause dizziness and weak legs due to the rapid drop in blood sugar during exercise, nor will it cause pain when running or jumping due to undigested food piled up in the stomach.

Some people will definitely say, I think many bloggers recommend fasting aerobics, saying that it is more efficient in burning fat, so why not eat anything? In fact, there is no absolute standard answer to this matter in the industry. It all depends on the individual's physical condition and exercise intensity. I once took care of a little girl who had just been exercising for half a year. She followed the online method of climbing stairs on an empty stomach. She climbed for 40 minutes at a time. She did lose some body fat after climbing for half a month. However, my aunt postponed it for more than ten days. Later, she changed it to eating a small handful of blueberries and a protein bar 15 minutes before climbing the stairs. It took almost two months to adjust. But there are also veterans around me who have been practicing for five or six years. It is a long-term habit to run 5 kilometers on an empty stomach in the morning, and the muscle mass has not been lost. The body fat has always been stable at around 15%, and there is no discomfort at all.

If your exercise of the day is a 20-minute brisk walk or a short version of Pamela dance at home, then there is really no need to eat in particular. Don’t move just after eating a takeaway that is heavy in oil and salt. Drinking half a cup of warm water to balance it out is enough. But if you want to run a half-marathon or ride a long distance of dozens of kilometers, you really need to pay attention to the meal you eat two hours in advance. Don’t eat too much high-fiber grains, raw and cold vegetable and fruit salads, and don’t touch fried things. When I participated in the urban cycling competition last year, I also The good guy tried to eat light and healthy before the race. He ate a salad with a lot of lettuce and corn. After riding for 15 kilometers, he started to suffer from stomachache. He couldn't find a public toilet in the wilderness, and finally quit the race. Now we are using it as a negative example and laughing at him.

If you are really in a hurry and have not prepared in advance, grab a small handful of raisins and half a banana and eat two bites 10 minutes before exercise. You can also quickly replenish some sugar and avoid losing strength during exercise. Last time, I was called by a friend to play Frisbee. I didn't prepare anything before I went out, so I grabbed half a banana that was in the refrigerator. I played for two hours without feeling hungry. If I had gone on an empty stomach like last time, I probably wouldn't be able to run or catch the ball steadily in the second half of the game.

In fact, you don’t have to worry too much about the standard answer. Try it twice more and your body will feel more accurate than any guide. After all, you exercise for comfort, not for the hard-fought diet to suffer, right?
