Is it true that the child should not eat 2 hours before swimming or else will get cramps?? Or is it a myth?
Well, part of this is true..
Eating a heavy meal just before swimming will not only get u cramps but will leave u full and bloated.
Your
body needs time to digest food.. and while your stomach is doing so, it
needs more blood there to aid with the digestion, leaving less blood in
your other muscles which causes cramps.
You can enjoy a light
meal before swimming because after all you have to ensure to keep your
blood sugar up rather than feeling dizzy in water from hunger.
Balance!!
