Exercise without Breakfast, dangerous?

By Laura | Nov 23, 2007

Yes, it’s not advised to exercise with an empty stomach, however we shouldn’t exercise with a full stomach either.

The best option is to make a moderate breakfast with a good source of carbonate hydrates like bread or dry cookies. After 8 hours of night fasting we need to reestablish our energetic reserves. To practice good exercise we must have energy and exercise in fasting is not appropriate, because the body, in the absence of food (energy) is going to deteriorate the muscle to produce sugar and feed the chemical’s reactions of the body. The risk of accident or injure due to distraction or tiredness is bigger.

After an exercise session it’s important to eat a meal to regain the muscle glycogen. It’s also important to drink a lot of liquids to keep a good hydration of the body.

You can keep track of your liquid loses by weighing yourself before and after exercising.

Exercise is good for help but…exercise safely

Thanks for the article. The real harm in exercising in the morning is that it can cause blackouts or fainting due to low glycogen levels.
