Why can't you exercise immediately after a meal?
You can't exercise immediately after a meal, such as running and other strenuous exercise, because it will cause indigestion, so why can't you exercise immediately after a meal?
It is not advisable to run or exercise after meals. Because the digestive organs need a lot of blood supply after eating, they have to work hard. If you run or exercise at this time, it is bound to steal a lot of blood from skeletal muscles, resulting in digestive tract ischemia, which not only weakens gastrointestinal peristalsis, but also significantly reduces the secretion of digestive juice, thus causing indigestion.
