Go walk your dinner off!

As long as you don't live in a hut on the edge of a very narrow cliff, it's good advice..:p

They do say you shouldn't swim on a full stomach, or is that empty stomach, no wait, after eating cheese?

Oh I don't know, it's 7:30am for goodness sake..:wacky:

And yet the NHS still cant join the dots up?

To be fair the NHS site was only quoting the research. However, I do agree that they may try to use it to support the balanced plate nonsense.

Brilliant news - and something that lots of us knew already :) but very pleased to see it being talked about like this.

Climbing stairs does the same thing, without having to go outside.

There is a tradition in various parts of the world (I am thinking particularly of Italy, but I know it happens elsewhere too) where people go for a stoll after dinner. I have seen the shops open, and the streets full of people walking arm in arm, all ages, all members of the family, enjoying the evening. What a lovely and healthy addition to the Mediterranean Diet, eh? :D

(I wonder if our dogs could cope with an extra little trundle after dinner?)
