"Take a walk after meals" is a long-standing fitness method. But there is much to be learned about how to scientifically "take a walk."
1. Patting walk
This is a traditional fitness method. When walking, use the swinging of the arms to pat the shoulders, chest, abdomen, waist, and other parts. This has the effect of relaxing tendons, relieving tension, and eliminating fatigue.
2. Walking backward
It changes the direction and habits of walking, which is beneficial for exercising the body's sensory organs and balance. When walking backward, land on the toes first and then transition to the heels to massage the acupuncture points and meridians of the feet. But don't walk backward too much.
3. Walking while listening to music
This is a way to relieve stress and also helps with digestion. But don't listen to those moving songs, as it will involuntarily speed up your pace, which is not conducive to digestion.
4. Walking and massaging the abdomen
Walk slowly while massaging the abdomen counterclockwise. The medical expert Sun Simiao insisted on "massaging the abdomen with warm hands immediately after eating," because he believed that "massaging the abdomen after a meal can cure many illnesses."
