Breakfast Before Workout May Burn More Carbs and Boost Metabolism: Says Study

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology: Endocrinology and Metabolism, it was found that eating breakfastbefore
exercise and workout could possibly burn more carbohydrates during exercise and may also boost the body's metabolism post-workout
The study was conducted on 12 men by a group of researchers
The participants completed three trials; eating breakfast two hours before exercise, eating breakfast followed by three hours of rest, and
overnight-fasted exercise
breakfast increased the rate at which the male volunteers' bodies were burning carbs during exercise
Other than this, it also accelerated the rate at which the body metabolised food eaten post-workout
According to the researchers, apart from the breakfast consumed before exercise, the carbohydrate stored in their muscles as glycogen also
contributed in increased carbohydrate burning during workout.As per the researchers, the findings of the study suggest that eating breakfast
prior to workout could be essential for our body and the nutrition from the meals consumed after workout could be better stored
However, in order to stay fit, it is imperative to have a proper workout regime along with a balanced diet.
