Not to Eat Fish Immediately After Exercise

Fish not only has nutritious, but also is the best food for weight loss because it contains high protein with low fat. Many people take fish as the first choice food after exercise. In fact, eating fish after exercise will make increased fatigue. After exercise, especially vigorous exercise, you will feel the muscles swell and mental fatigue because powerful material such as sugar, fat and protein in body are decomposed, resulting in lactic acid and phosphoric acid. On the other hand, the fish are rich in protein, phosphoric acid, sulfur and chlorine, the acidic products will increase after metabolism, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid. Therefore, eating fish immediately after exercise not only can’t recuperate, but make people feel more tired. In addition to fish, there is some kind of food such as chicken, rice and noodles, all of which should not be consumed immediately after exercise. However, it doesn’t mean fish can’t be eaten after exercise, about one or two hour later, when the level of lactic acid is reduced, you can eat fish appropriately. It is worth to mention that you’d better eat fruits and dairy product before eating fish.

If you want to recuperate after exercise as soon as possible, foods with high sugar, low fat, moderate protein and easily digestible food are good choices. In addition, in order to recover energy, sports drinks containing electrolytes are appropriate.
