There are many sayings about walking at a hundred paces after a meal. In fact, it is said that you should take a proper walk after meals. The unreliable saying is: it is unscientific and unreliable to go running and do strenuous exercise after meals.

Take a hundred steps after a meal, and exercise is reliable

As a health-preserving proverb, "You can live for 99 years by walking a hundred steps after a meal", which has the significance of the times. The words did not say to leave immediately after meals, nor did they say how to walk in this 100 step after meals, nor did they say that people who are sick should leave. You should do it appropriately according to your real situation. Rest for 20 to 30 minutes after meals, and then go out to exercise according to your age and physical condition. The ancients asked the elderly to walk no less than 100 times. Strong or young people can walk three kilometers up and down, whichever is comfortable. However, it depends on the weather. Avoid overheating, supercooling and supercooling.

Walk a hundred paces after dinner.

Some people do a lot of exercise after dinner, even strenuous exercise, because people who have just finished eating are full and have more blood on their stomachs than when they don't eat. The food in the stomach will stir, impact the stomach and intestines, and even cause vomiting, so that the blood will be further concentrated in the stomach, thus reducing the blood flow in the head, making people dizzy, and maybe even insomnia at night. From the health point of view, night is the time when blood closes and people rest. If you do some large-scale exercise or sweaty exercise at night, it will stimulate the yang, even hurt the yang, and damage our own health.

The benefits of moderate exercise at night

Proper exercise after meals can mainly strengthen the peristalsis of the stomach and improve its digestive function. Because people no longer work to exercise muscles and blood, the stomach is easy to eat. Poor stomach and qi and blood will have a chain of negative reactions to the heart, liver and lungs. People don't fall asleep easily. Therefore, proper exercise after meals is reasonable. Proper and moderate exercise is beneficial to people's health and longevity, and understanding should not be too paranoid and harmful.
