A Discovery Health answered. Blood flow is greater when you exercise because the blood vessels in your muscles dilate. Imagine water flowing through a fire hose compared to a garden hose. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the way your body uses biochemicals to store and use energy. Discovery Health answered.

At perfect (chemistry lab theory) room temperature, 4â6 hours should still be safe. In reality, hummus that's at an outdoor summer picnic â gosh forbid itâs a bit muggy or humid out â has been dipped into. By the end of that 4 hours (even within the time frame) the hummus has already started heading southward fast. Depending on how hardy your stomach is, you might be fine â but if you have any stomach sensitivitiesâ¦be prepared for the worst, hope for the best.
If thatâs the case, I wouldnât assume itâll be fine for more than 3 to 4 days. Again, even if you store it in the coldest part of the fridge, in most cases you shouldnât eat it after more than 2 weeks after opening the package. If youâll decide to freeze hummus, you can keep it in the freezer for how long you want.
