Is It Better To Sit After A Meal Or Take A Walk?
Is It Better To Sit After A Meal Or Take A Walk? The Doctor Suggested: Not Paying Attention To These Points, But Hurting The Body
"Walk after a meal and live to be ninety-nine." Many people have the habit of walking after a meal, and many people oppose it, thinking that walking after a meal is not conducive to digestion, and some people just lie down and think so More comfortable.
A few days ago at a DrX family gathering, I found that some of the
big guys were sitting after eating, some standing, some lying down, and some
couldn’t wait to go out for a walk. This is also a daily habit. Which habit is
right? ?
Which Way Is Right For You?
[Sitting] This is the habit of most people. It is true that you
can sit after a meal. People with poor gastrointestinal conditions can sit and
rest for a while after a meal. The blood can be concentrated in the stomach to
help digestion and absorption. However, it is not recommended to sit for a
long time, especially for those who work for a long time. After a meal, sit and
rest for 15-30 minutes and then stand or walk. You can rest for a while after
eating.
[Walking] Walking is also a good choice. It is recommended to
start walking half an hour after a meal, because exercise immediately after a
meal will affect breathing and gastrointestinal motility.
[Standing]
Standing after a meal can consume more calories, reduce fat accumulation, and
control weight. It is a good way for people who want to lose weight. Of
course, you can sit for about 10 minutes before you stand.
[Lying down] If you have a bad stomach or eat too much, lying down
will help digestion, but it is recommended that you do not do anything while
lying down, do not use your mobile phone to do other things, and lie down for a
while. Avoid falling asleep after a meal, which not only affects digestive
function, but may also cause gastroesophageal reflux, vomiting and nausea. If
things go on like this, there is a risk of reflux esophagitis.
Things Not Recommended After A Meal
1. If you have cardiovascular problems or eat too much, you can't
take a bath immediately after a meal, you may feel dizzy and fall.
2. It is not
recommended to exercise immediately after a meal. It is generally best to
exercise after 2 hours.
3. It is not recommended to drink a lot of strong tea after meals,
which will dilute the gastric juice. Theophylline will also inhibit the
secretion of gastric acid, affect the normal digestion of food, and increase
the burden on the stomach.
4. It is not recommended to smoke in a hurry after meals, because
the blood circulation in the digestive tract increases after eating, and the
harmful components in the smoke may be absorbed more than normal smoking.
5. People with poor digestion are not recommended to eat fruit
immediately after a meal, as it is easy for food to stay in the stomach, which
is not conducive to digestion.
