Adherence
Physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise performed before a meal, significantly reduces postprandial lipemia and increases lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, improving lipid clearance.
Moving your body before you eat can help your body clear fat from your blood more effectively. An acute bout of aerobic exercise before a high-fat meal can reduce postprandial lipemia by 24-35%. You don't need to exercise right before every meal, but physical activity within 24 hours can improve lipid clearance.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
An acute bout of aerobic exercise has been shown to significantly reduce postprandial lipaemia by 24–35 % and to significantly increase LPL activity... Physical activity within the 24 h preceding a high-fat meal greatly improves the rate at which lipids are removed from the circulation.
Why this rating
Multiple studies and a meta-analysis support the effect.
