Exercise is generally good for your health, but a recent study has found that exercising at different times of the day can affect your blood sugar levels differently.
Published in the journal Obesity, the study revealed that for overweight or obese people who don’t get much exercise, working out in the evening has the most beneficial effect on blood sugar control.
The researchers found that moderate-to-vigorous exercise, which has been shown to improve blood sugar levels, led to the biggest reductions in blood sugar levels in obese or overweight people with impaired glucose regulation, especially when performed in the evening.
Jonathan Ruiz, a professor at the University of Granada in Spain and one of the study authors, emphasized the importance of timing when exercising. He said “certified sports and medical personnel should consider the optimal timing of the day to enhance the effectiveness of the exercise and physical activity programs they prescribe.”
Previous research has shown that exercise helps lower blood sugar levels, particularly in people with weight issues and metabolic conditions. Ruiz and his team discovered that men and women who did more than half of their exercise in the evening had lower overall blood sugar levels throughout the day and night.
