d eating should be avoided within 2 hours of exercise
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

When you eat before exercise, digestion requires blood flow. This can potentially cause gastric pain (A is true). Digestion also means less oxygen is available for muscles during exercise (B is true). Eating within 2 hours of exercise is not ideal as digestion may interfere with exercise (D is true). However, eating does not increase the amount of fat burned during exercise. In fact, when you have recently eaten, your body may use the consumed carbohydrates as fuel first rather than relying more on fat burning.

Answer:

B. eating increases the amount of oxygen available during exercise
