Question

question 1 of 5
as a general rule of thumb, how long should you wait between eating and exercising?
a. 60 - 90 minutes
b. 30 - 60 minutes
c. 90 - 120 minutes
d. 15 - 30 minutes

Explanation:

After eating, the body digests food. Waiting 60 - 90 minutes allows for partial digestion. This helps prevent discomfort (like nausea or side - stitches) during exercise. If you exercise too soon (e.g., 15 - 30 minutes), blood flow is divided between digestion and muscles, which is inefficient. Waiting 90 - 120 minutes might be longer than necessary for most light - to - moderate exercises. 30 - 60 minutes may not be sufficient for proper digestion in many cases. So, 60 - 90 minutes is a common general guideline.

Answer:

A. 60 - 90 minutes
