Exercise before breakfast

[Guest guest]

Tammy,

 

You are correct ... and there is more. Not only were you not ready to eat

.... I mean, you hadn't burned through any fuel yet that day, to speak of ...

but you actually were working directly against yourself. Digestion,

stress/emotions, and physical activity all place a large demand upon our

system. Whenever we try to engage in two or more such activities at the same

time, we create overload ... our system quite literally is not designed to

support us in 2 opposite directions at the same time, for any length of

time. Your system was merely healthy enough to " respond " .

 

In contrast, your husband, who perhaps has never experienced that level of

health (at least not in his conscious memory), cannot easily comprehend your

experience.

 

Make sense?

 

Best,

Elchanan

What a great question. I would love opinions on this too. Until I

hurt my hip and back, I was swimming a mile to a mile and a half a

day. I made myself eat a banana on the way to the pool (about 5:30

a.m.) I wasn't really ready to eat yet but forced myself because I

thought my body needed it. Quite often I was burping it up while

swimming. My husband thought it was because of the body position in

the water. I think I just wasn't ready to eat.
