Health Benefits Enhanced By Low-Carb Meals After Aerobic Exercise

January 28, 2010: 01:38 PM EST
The health benefits of aerobic exercise come from the most recent exercise session rather than from long-term activity, and are greatly affected by the food we eat afterwards, according to a U.S. study. Different foods eaten after exercise have a different impact on metabolism. The researchers focused on insulin sensitivity: increased sensitivity means muscles absorb sugar more easily from the blood for storage or fuel. In the study of nine men, exercise enhanced insulin sensitivity, especially when post-exercise meals eaten contained lower levels of carbohydrates. The results suggest that people can benefit from exercise without under eating or losing weight.
