The Morning is Best

A new study suggests that exercising in the morning, before eating, can significantly lessen the ill effects of a poor holiday diet.

Researchers recruited healthy, active young men and fed them a bad diet for six weeks. A group of them that exercised before breakfast gained almost no weight and showed no signs of insulin resistance. What’s more, they burned the fat they were taking in more efficiently

Dr. Petryk’s Comments:

Morning exercises has long been touted as the best time of the day and now there is research to support that premise.

In addition, you should remember that consuming drinks and foods high in sugar within the first hour after exercise has result is a net loss of the benefits gained from the exercise. Stay well hydrated but avoid the sugar for at least an hour.
