Michael can you help a fellow Michael?
Interesting info. Thanks for sharing Mr. Greger! It appears that always a simple walk around the block after a meal is a good practice. P.S. I love my new red lentil flat cake recipe!
👍👍👍
NOTE: A postprandial walk of the same distance and intensity is up to 30% more effective at controlling blood sugar than the same exercise before a meal. BUT, exercising six hours before a meal optimises fat burning. A tough choice indeed.
I normally do a 15 minute HIIT cardio before breakfast, after not eating for 15 hours. I will do strength and resistance training later in the day after eating. I also love me some tasty yellow split pea soup.
Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling.
Ebikes makes those hills much less of an issue.. Every city needs to be a bicycle city.
We all need to support healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation options.
Add a little more green space, bike lanes and outdoor dining to the city and it is a winner.
Just do it.
This video is quite usefull to.understand sports cardiology. Thanks
I would argue (based on current theory as there’s no trial yet) exercising after meals in diabetics to control blood sugar is just treating the symptoms and not the cause. If exercising in the morning in a fasting state burns more fat and fat is linked to insulin resistance (i.e. type 2 diabetes) then in the long run a whole food plant based diet with exercise in the fasting state would be best.
Also it’s much easier to put in a good workout with water alone during a fasting state with an empty stomach than trying to do intense exercise with a full stomach.
I've heard that if we exercise after a fast we burn muscle, which would also explain the lack of difference between those exercising before and after meals, as muscle is more metabolically active than fat when resting.
Yea, except when you study fasted cardio over longer periods, like months, the fat loss is the same as fed cardio.
A question: what happens if you exercise before and after a meal?
The only effective Weight loss from exercise is when you exercise INSTEAD of a meal.
Good to hear the blood sugar part. I am not diabetic but tend to feel dips when I excercise before breakfast.
I wake up at 6AM, two scoops of preworkout and its GO TIME !
I love this channel!
I just want the secret to losing weight while laying in bed all day without moving. Meth?
I'll bet a steak dinner NOBODY walks an hour straight consistantly.
Hey doc love from india please do video on lipoma
I take 1tbsp of beet root powder as a pre-workout—I'm looking for boosted vasodilation from the nitrates in it. Do you posit this pre-workout would affect the fasting time required to see the benefits of fasted exercise?
Weight loss ? But wait, on a vegan diet, you are supposed to lose weight already ? Look at Vegan Grains and Jasmin Grains, they all very slender.
My chiropractor recommended a little cereal before workout, I like oatmeal and a little banana
Exercising before meals blunts my post meal insulin spike because the muscle are grabbing more glucose when I eat, lowering insulin requirements.
30 reps of 25 lb dumbbell curls any time I am losing mental focus from high blood sugar brings it down enough and only takes a couple of minutes.
why dont you share your blood results, bio age, your Vo2 max, grip strength so we validate the value of your book on aging
I didn't get it, does it matter to exercise before a meal of after a meal?
Great Video!!
I would like to know what cortisol is doing when exercising in a fasted state. For people with autoimmune issues exercising fasted can be interpreted as more stress.
Wouldn't the recommendations for diabetic be beneficial for the rest of the population since so many people are insulin resistant or prediabetic without realizing it?
Did the studies include women?
Don’t believe anything this channel has to say they are spreading massive disinformation!
I started never eating breakfast about 9 months ago quit beer and don't eat anything until after 12:00 P.M. and if I am not hungry don't eat dinner and after about 3 months lost 30 pounds. Now have less weight than I did when in my 20,s and I just turned 67 years Nov. 12.
