Mexico, (Notimex) .- Exercising before breakfast helps burn twice as much fat as if done afterwards, revealed a study by researchers at the universities of Bath and Birmingham cited by the Spanish portal infosalus.
Through the study, the scientists found that people who did not eat breakfast before exercising had lower levels of insulin, which helped them use more fat from their fatty tissue and muscles as fuel for the body.
“We found that the men in the study who exercised before breakfast burned twice as much fat as the group that exercised after. It is important to note that, although this had no effect on weight loss, it dramatically improved your overall health, ”the researchers explained for the Spanish portal.
In addition, the scientists found that the muscles of the group that exercised before breakfast responded better to insulin compared to those that performed after it, in addition to showing greater increases in key proteins in glucose transport from the bloodstream to the muscles
The work done, the researchers explained for infosalus, suggests that exercising on an empty stomach can increase the benefits of exercise for people’s health without changing the intensity, duration or perception of effort.
