Can I take a walk immediately after dinner?
It is not advisable to take a walk immediately after a meal.

Reason:

Because after a meal, when the stomach is in a full state, it needs to secrete more digestive enzymes, which are fully mixed with food for preliminary digestion. At this time, it is necessary to ensure adequate blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract. Proper rest (30 minutes) after meals can ensure more blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract and make the food in the stomach fully digested. If the method is not proper, walking can not only promote digestion and health, but also bring a burden to the body.

Precautions:

Take a walk after dinner, fast, not too fast. It is best to walk 90 steps a minute, that is, walk 1~2 steps a second for 10~30 minutes.

The blood flow of the human body will be distributed according to the needs of the body. If you walk too fast and too long, a lot of blood will be distributed to the motor system, which will affect digestion, cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even cause stomach problems. Especially in the elderly, cardiopulmonary function declines, and blood pressure often drops after meals. Walking too fast will affect the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract.
