Walk Or Not Walk After a Meal
"Should I walk or not walk after a meal" is a hot topic in our daily life.Different people have different answers. Some people say that walking after eating is good for your health and also help you lose weight. But some others believe that post-eating walking does harm to your digestive system.
Then which is right? Should you walk or not after a meal?
In my opinion, you should walk.
Why? Because it help you keep fit and stay in sharp. Don't you see most of the fat guys always sit there watch TV, deal with daily office work, play video games, surf the internet and even go to sleep for hours after meal? This is one of the reasons why they're fat. Inactivity is always a major cause of weight gain. And once become fat, it easily lead to many other illnesses.
So, walking after a meal is recommended.
But you need to do it the right way. Walk immediately after eating is wrong. Because the digestive system need more blood to help digest the food you ate. If you walk instantly, the blood will goes to other organs, this is not good for digestion and absorption, and some people may feel like vomiting & dizzy.
Now you may ask when is the right time to go for a walk?
Before walking, you have to give about thirty minute to an hour (or even more time, it depends on the person and what you have eaten) to let the digestive system digest the food and absorb the nutrition you intake. After this short rest, you can go for a thirty minute light walking. This is the healthy way to walk after eating.
To sum up, walking after a meal is recommended, but you should do it right. After eating, you had better take a short rest to get the food digested, then go for a leisurely stroll, this is not only good for your health but also can help you keep in sharp.
