Slow down "invigorating the spleen" after meals

Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and people's health and longevity are directly related to spleen and stomach. The methods of strengthening the spleen include tonifying deficiency and activating qi, walking slowly after meals, and helping the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. This is the way to transport the spleen, because Chinese medicine theory holds that the spleen governs the limbs, the spleen governs the muscles, and transporting the limbs means transporting the spleen.

Taking a hundred steps after meals is a widely accepted health-keeping concept for thousands of years, and it also has a lot of practical support. Sun Simiao was a famous physician and health care doctor in Tang Dynasty. He lived to be 10 1 years old by his own practice. He pointed out in "Wings of a Thousand Daughters": "On weekdays, I ate dim sum rice, walked fifty or sixty steps outside, ate Chinese food, and walked one or two hundred steps. Take your time and don't be short of breath. "Then he said," Eat and walk, and you will live forever. "

Walking a hundred steps after half an hour after a meal helps digestion.

Going to bed immediately after eating is not good for digestion. In ancient times, there was a saying "don't lie down after a meal". Lying flat after a meal will make the diet stagnate, and rushing after a meal will make the blood flow to the limbs and affect the digestion and absorption function. Moreover, moving slowly after meals is beneficial to gastrointestinal peristalsis and promotes digestion. This is the truth that "abstaining from food is beneficial to people".

Our understanding of this "after a meal" should be 20-30 minutes after a meal, rather than walking slowly immediately after a meal. At the same time, it should be noted that "you can't worry when you are full." Walking at a hundred paces after a meal does not advocate running after a meal, but walking slowly. People who are not suitable for walking slowly can also shake their hands. Also, some people should not take a hundred steps after meals, such as patients with liver disease and patients with coronary heart disease.

Walking a hundred paces after a meal is not suitable for everyone.

Some people are "full", but their stomachs feel full, but the nutrients are not absorbed into their bodies, and their bodies are still "hungry". Get up and leave in a hurry at this time, and some blood will be concentrated in the exercise (sports food) system, which will delay the secretion of digestive juice, destroy the normal digestion of the stomach and easily induce functional dyspepsia.

Therefore, "walking after a meal" is not suitable for everyone. Only suitable for people who are usually inactive, especially those who work at their desks for a long time. It is also suitable for people with obesity or hyperacidity. If these people take a walk for 20 minutes after meals, it will help promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juice and the digestion and absorption of food, which is beneficial to their health (healthy food). But you should start walking at least 20 minutes after dinner.
