First of all, you must choose a good time to take a walk after a meal, preferably one hour after a meal, because the food in your stomach has not been digested just after a meal, so walking will increase the burden on your stomach, which will lead to gastroptosis for a long time.
How long is it appropriate to take a walk after dinner?
The length of a walk after a meal varies from person to person, and is generally controlled between half an hour and an hour.
Generally speaking, according to personal physical quality, people with excessive gastric acid secretion, slightly fat or obese people and people who usually lack exercise can appropriately extend their walking time, while those who are old and weak can walk for a relatively short time, which can generally be controlled between half an hour and an hour.
What are the advantages of taking a walk after dinner at night?
1. Walking can improve the process of excitement, inhibition and regulation in the cerebral cortex, thus achieving the effects of eliminating fatigue, relaxing mood, calming down and clearing the heart, so many people like to use walking to adjust their spirits.
2. When walking, due to the contraction of abdominal muscles, breathing is slightly deepened and the diaphragm moves up and down. In addition, the "massage effect" of abdominal wall muscle movement on gastrointestinal tract will strengthen the blood circulation of digestive system, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve digestive ability.
3. When walking, the ventilation in the lungs is more than doubled than usual, which is beneficial to the improvement of respiratory system function.
Walking is not a tiring exercise. Although it is full-body exercise, it is fundamentally the easiest exercise.
