Exercise for 2 Hours After Consume Fatty Foods Reduce Risk of Heart Disease

When you eat fatty foods, high levels of triglycerides in the blood will increase and you will be more at risk for heart disease. If you are forced to eat high fat foods, do exercise a few hours before and afterward to reduce the risk.

High levels of triglycerides or fat in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise can reduce triglyceride levels, even sports can provide a protective effect against the risk of heart disease due to the increased consumption of fatty foods.

Some of the studies that have been done previously shown that exercising 10 to 12 minutes before eating foods high in fat is the best way to reduce elevated triglycerides. Although exercise afterward showed some benefits as well.

Stephen Ball, a professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at the University of Missouri stated that the best time to exercise is whenever you can. And if you want to lose weight, you should exercise regularly to burn more calories than the amount of calories the food you eat.

In the new study, the researchers measured the levels of triglycerides in 10 men and women after eating food that contains about 38 percent fat. On two separate days, participants were asked to exercise one hour before and one hour after eating. On the third day, the participants did not exercise at all before and after eating.

People who do not exercise have increased triglyceride levels to 66 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dL) to 172 mg / dL two hours after eating. Normal triglyceride levels are below 150 mg / dL.

When people exercise before a meal, triglyceride levels increased to 148 mg / dL two hours after eating. It shows 25 percent reduction in triglyceride levels compared with those who did not exercise.

When people exercise after eating fatty foods, triglyceride levels increased to 131 mg / dL. This shows that there has been a decline of 72 percent compared with those who did not exercise.

Six hours after eating foods high in fat, triglyceride levels all participants are almost the same, regardless of whether or not the exercise participants. However, while the increase in triglyceride levels after eating a high-fat diet is exactly what increases the risk of heart disease.

"Exercising after eating fatty foods can speed up the body's metabolism of fat manage, thereby reducing triglyceride levels," the researchers said.

If you are forced to eat foods high in fat at a dinner party, you can prevent high levels of triglycerides with exercise after exercise or have previously.
