If what you eat is not digested properly, you do not get complete nutrition. To stay healthy, it is important that the food is digested properly and meets your body's needs. Ayurveda suggests many ways to keep the digestive system healthy. Shatapavali is a process that is related to digestion but it has many benefits.
Ayurveda believes that walking 100 steps after eating will keep your sugar level intact. This news has also been published in the Sports Medicine Journal that walking for some distance after every meal does not increase the sugar level. If you want to avoid type 2 diabetes, then walk a short distance every time you eat something.
If you have digestive problems like bloating, loss of appetite, constipation after eating, then walk 100 steps every time you eat.
Walking after eating can improve your metabolism. This also keeps other parts of the body healthy. If your metabolism is fine then your weight also remains under control.
Even if you feel lazy after eating, doing Shatapavali is beneficial. Sitting or lying down straight after eating can cause a feeling of heaviness.
Keep in mind that do not walk fast immediately after eating but walk leisurely.
