Aids with weight reduction

Walking burns calories, which helps with healthy weight loss as well. Including walking in your exercise regimen will increase the number of calories burned and the intensity of your activity.

Improved slumber

Walking after supper helps regulate circadian rhythms, promotes deeper, more restorative sleep, and enhances the body’s sleep-wake cycle. It also relieves the pain that comes after eating, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.

It’s thought that walking after eating helps with digestion. According to a 2021 study, persons with a history of stomach bloating experienced fewer gastrointestinal issues when they walked for 10 to 15 minutes after every meal. Higher-intensity exercises, such as power walking or running, after eating, however, may result in digestive problems.
