Walk slowly after meals to "move up the spleen"”
Experts point out that the spleen is the foundation of acquired nature, and human beings healthy Longevity or not is directly related to the spleen and stomach. To nourish the spleen, there are ways to nourish the spleen, such as taking a slow walk after a meal to help the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. This is the acquired way of maintaining the spleen by "moving to help the spleen", because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs the limbs and muscles, and moving the limbs is to move the spleen.
Walking a hundred steps half an hour after a meal will help digestion
After eating, rest in bed immediately sleep , bad for digestion. In ancient times, there was a saying that "don't lie down when you are full after eating". Lying down after eating will make eating stagnant, and walking quickly after eating will cause blood to flow to the limbs, affecting digestion and absorption functions. And moving slowly after eating is beneficial to gastrointestinal peristalsis and promotes digestion. This is the principle of "stopping after eating for hundreds of steps, which is of great benefit to people."
But experts also pointed out that our understanding of "after a meal" should be 20-30 minutes after eating, rather than taking a slow walk immediately after a meal. At the same time, it should be noted that "don't rush when you are full." The Hundred Steps After Meal does not encourage walking quickly after a meal, but walking slowly. Those who are not suitable for walking slowly can also wave their hands and feet. Also, some people should not take a hundred steps after meals, such as patients with liver disease. coronary heart disease of people etc.
Walking around immediately after a meal exhausts physical energy and is not conducive to digestion
The energy (energy food) consumed by walking around in a hurry after a meal actually overdraws the physical energy before the meal. The blood in the human body will be more distributed in the trunk, limbs and other active parts, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the gastrointestinal blood supply and the secretion of digestive enzymes. At this time, if you do some activities that require higher sensitivity and accuracy, such as driving, it can easily lead to adverse consequences.
What kind of person is not suitable for a hundred steps after a meal?
Some people are suitable for "not being able to walk" after meals, which refers to people with poor physical fitness, especially those suffering from gastroptosis and other diseases. These people should not take a walk after a meal, and even general walking should be reduced. They can choose to lie down for 10 minutes after a meal. Because the stomach is full of food after a meal, performing upright activities at this time will increase the vibration of the stomach, increase the burden on the stomach, and cause or aggravate gastroptosis. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should avoid exercising after meals. Because gastrointestinal activity increases after meals, the blood flow in the gastrointestinal department increases, and the blood flow in the brain decreases accordingly.
