JAKARTA - For some people, walking after eating for a long duration can cause pain in the stomach. Pain that arises such as bloating, nausea, and diarrhea.

However, it should be noted that walking after eating actually has a good impact on the body, quoted from Healthline, on Friday, January 10, 2025. To avoid pain, it is necessary to have a time lag between walking and finishing meals.

The recommended time interval is about 10 to 15 minutes after eating, then walking. It aims to ensure the diet has been digested properly by the body.

Walking shortly after eating was able to reduce fat and was able to lose weight, compared to walking which started 1 hour after eating. The duration spent on foot is about 30 minutes.

A certified personal trainer at Blink Fitness, Ellen Thompson, also said the same thing. He said that walking after meals can help better manage weight.

"Short walks regularly, especially after eating, contribute to calorie burning. Over time, this can help manage weight and prevent weight gain associated with inactive behavior," explained Ellen Thompson.

However, the habit of walking after eating must also be balanced with other healthy lifestyles so that the impact of weight loss is more significant. You must also always pay attention to the condition and ability of the body to do so, not physically.
