I exercise after meals, but my blood sugar rises even more. Why is that?
A. It's a good signal.
It is a natural phenomenon for blood sugar to rise after vigorous exercise.
It should be seen as a 'good sign' that fat is being well burned through exercise.
When you exercise, glycogen is burned first, and then fatty acids start to burn afterward.
You need to continue exercising until now to see weight loss effects.
It is the breakdown of fat that had been accumulated in the body.
During this process, glucose is produced, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
That doesn't mean it continuously has a negative effect on blood sugar, but
It's a temporary phenomenon, so you don't need to worry.
However, if you engage in exercise that is too intense and puts a strain on your body
As stress hormones such as cortisol and catecholamines are secreted,
The effect of lowering blood sugar can be offset, causing blood sugar levels to continue rising.
Start exercising 30 minutes to one hour after a meal, and finish exercising within two hours after eating.
