Can you take a quick walk right after dinner?

Nowadays people's health awareness is gradually improving, and exercise is a good way to achieve health. It is different from the method of drug health care, which will have side effects on our human body. After eating, many people will adopt the method of brisk walking to promote gastrointestinal motility. So is this method scientific or not? Let us understand together, is it good to take a brisk walk after a meal?

After a meal, blood must flow to the digestive system to digest and absorb food. If you use the blood elsewhere at this time, the amount of blood used in the digestive system will be reduced, which will directly affect the function of your digestive system and may even damage the digestive system in severe cases. So it's best to sit for half an hour after a meal.

Walking a hundred steps after a meal depends on whether you walk slowly or quickly. Walking quickly is naturally not good, but you should also be careful when walking slowly. The following is explained in two aspects: As the saying goes, "Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to ninety-nine", but there is also a saying that "If you want to live to ninety-nine, don't walk after a meal". Both sayings make sense, but they are suitable for different people. Walking a hundred steps after a meal is suitable for people who are less active, work at a desk for a long time, are overweight or have excessive stomach acid secretion. Do not walk after a meal, mainly for people with poor physical constitution, frailty and multiple diseases, especially those suffering from diseases such as gastroptosis. Instead of taking a walk after a meal, they should lie down for 10 minutes.

Improper physical exercise can also harm the stomach and gallbladder. For example, strenuous exercise redistributes blood throughout the body, weakens gastrointestinal motility, greatly reduces the secretion of various digestive juices, and puts the digestive system in an inhibited state. Not taking a proper rest after exercise, eating immediately or drinking a lot of frozen drinks can easily cause indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal and gallbladder diseases. PS: "Food is the first necessity of the people", don't underestimate the three meals a day. Once you develop many bad eating habits, it will have a great impact on the gastrointestinal system. Eating too fast or overeating will greatly increase the burden on the stomach, causing gastrointestinal diseases and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; eating at irregular times will disrupt the regularity of the gastrointestinal and gallbladder digestive functions and affect health; being greedy for coolness or heat, because the stomach likes warmth and hates cold, can easily cause mucosal damage; being picky eaters, such as a high-salt diet, can easily cause gastric mucosal damage; high-fat foods can promote the release of gastric bile and gallbladder contraction, which can induce recurrence of gallbladder disease and biliary colic; alcohol, strong tea, coffee and certain beverages can stimulate gastric acid secretion, which can easily cause stomach diseases or aggravate the condition; eating in an improper posture, squatting or lying down to eat, is not conducive to stomach peristalsis. Blood circulation is blocked when squatting to eat, which will disrupt the normal digestive function of the stomach.

Can we take a quick walk after dinner? The above has given a detailed answer. Unscientific and inappropriate exercise will not have a good effect on our body, but will have the opposite effect. It is very unhealthy for our body. So after my introduction, I hope everyone will not choose to brisk walk after meals, but do appropriate exercise.
