A greasy diet will lead to obesity and high blood lipids! Study: Exercising at night can more effectively lower blood lipids and control blood sugar

Dinner parties are eye-catching events where you can show off your clothes, meet friends, enjoy delicious food, and taste fine wine. Many successful entrepreneurs’ business connections are accumulated through dinner parties. But for guests, some dinners are terrible: they start too late or end too late, the dishes are too rich or too poor, the invited speaker speaks too long, or they are seated at a strange and silent table.

However, attending the dinners hosted by Mr. Liao is always a pleasure.

I have known Mr. Liao for more than ten years. He is a gourmet, but he maintains a moderate and youthful figure and is in good physical condition. He often goes hiking during consecutive holidays and challenges himself with the 100 Great Peaks.

Mr. Liao is recognized by his friends as the best dinner host. He regards entertaining guests as a top priority. Guests are reminded to arrive five minutes early and dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., and the dishes, wine list and service are all excellent. Every dinner he hosts has a theme. The ones I’ve attended include ones that introduced the beauty of the Heluo language and gave opera explanations. Since the speaker is sitting at the same table, everyone can listen attentively and ask questions and discuss.

The dinner ended with the theme at eight o'clock, followed by half an hour of socializing. At half past eight, when all the dishes had been served and only desserts were left, Mr. Liao said goodbye to each guest, saying that he lived in Tianmu and had to walk home, so he had to leave early.

He has a big business and has a driver to help him drive. I couldn't understand why he didn't just let the driver take him and why he had to walk by himself.

I once read an article that mentioned metabolic problems such as obesity and high blood lipids caused by greasy food, and compared the benefits of exercising in the morning and in the evening. It is mentioned that "evening exercise" is more effective in lowering blood fat, controlling type 2 diabetes and reducing belly fat.

After reading this, I suddenly realized the cleverness of Mr. Liao's dinner parties: he can enjoy delicious food with friends, control his food intake by listening to speeches, finish on time and skip dessert to ensure that he does not overeat, and finally walk home to burn off calories. No wonder he can always maintain his figure.

The movement has become popular in recent years. There is a saying that exercising in the morning helps you sleep well at night, while exercising at night can interfere with your sleep due to high emotions. But the latest research shows that exercising at night (except for high-intensity training) can actually help you sleep more deeply. For people who like to eat greasy food and have high blood lipid problems, exercising at night may be more effective than in the morning.

In May 2021, Christ University in Australia published an experimental report in the Journal of Diabetes, in which the subjects were asked to eat a high-fat diet for five days and then their blood fat and cardiovascular health were tested. They were then divided into three groups. They continued to eat a high-fat diet, but the first group exercised at 6:30 every morning, the second group exercised at 6:30 every evening, and the third group did not exercise. When the indexes were tested again five days later, it was found that the blood lipids of the morning exercise group did not decrease, just like the sedentary group; while the cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and even blood sugar curve and cardiovascular health of the evening exercise group improved.

The Norwegian expert who guided the study believes that exercising in the morning is not bad, and exercising at any time can increase physical strength. However, exercising at night can reverse the adverse metabolism of high-fat foods and is a better choice for people who like to eat greasy meals.

Our bodies have a "biological clock". In addition to causing jet lag when traveling abroad, hunger, muscle strength, sleepiness, and even cell regeneration are all related to the biological clock.

The biological clock has its own correction mechanism. For example, when traveling abroad, if you live according to the local time (such as sunshine, eating, and sleeping), you will be able to adjust to the time difference more quickly. Exercising at night may be more effective in improving metabolic diseases because blood sugar is more stable, muscle strength is stronger, and body temperature is higher at night.
