The Benefits of Exercising at the Right Time
Greetings!
"There is a time for everything". That's the message in the book of Ecclesiastics (in the Bible, that is), and it is often a very spot on remark.
Exercising to lose weight also has a timing, according to recent research by the US Consumer Reports on Health, and Germany's Test Magazine.
But the correct timing will also bring other benefits. If you exercise for 45 minutes a day in the morning, the research shows that people tend to sleep better than those not exercising, or exercising in the evening.
Exercising increases your metabolic rate, making you more active in the hours to follow. Hence, if you exercise in the evening, chances are you'll feel tired but recharched in the following hours of the evening.
If you intend to stay up till late, that is not a bad thing. But if you intend to go to sleep early and get up early, you'll probably be rolling on the bed trying to sleep.
Another additional benefit of exercising is the fact that it reduces your appetite, making it easier to suppress the urge to eat "sinfull" foods and snacks, and sticking to your daily food intake.
This was proven in a comparative study where 2 groups of overweight women aged in their 50s. One group was given a chocolate bar 2 hours before their dinner meal, and the other group was asked to step on a thread mill for 20 minutes 2 hours before their dinner.
At dinner time, both groups eat a moderate amount of food, reporting a reduction in their appetite.
I can hear you say "well, I rather eat the chocolate bar instead of walking for 20 minutes!". Yes, you may say that, but those who walk, burn calories and increase their metabolism. Those who eat the chocolate bars, increase their carbohydrates intake, and only reduce their appetite.
If you're focused on your weight loss goal, I recommend you walk. ;-)
Yours in Health,
Skinny Jeff
