The time of the day can have a significant impact on various health outcomes, particularly for those managing blood sugar levels. According to recent research from the University of Granada, exercising in the evening—between 6 pm and midnight—can lead to substantial drops in blood glucose levels. This effect lasts throughout the day, making it especially beneficial for overweight or obese individuals at risk of or managing diabetes.
In addition to lowering blood sugar, the timing of exercise also affects other aspects of health:
- Sleep Improvement: Exercising two hours before bed can enhance sleep quality.
- Belly Fat Reduction and Blood Pressure: Morning workouts are particularly effective for women aiming to lose belly fat and lower blood pressure.
Therefore, it’s not just about exercising regularly, but also about exercising at the right time to maximize health benefits.
