Is it better to walk slowly or quickly at night?

A: First of all, we need to clarify two questions:

1. How long after dinner is "evening"

2. What is the purpose of walking

Generally speaking, light exercise, such as walking (slow walking), stretching, square dancing, etc., can be done half an hour to an hour after a meal. More intense exercise needs to be carried out 1-3 hours after a meal.

So if you have just finished eating, your body’s organs are still digesting food within an hour. If you want to take a walk during this time, it is better to walk slowly. Don't put any more burden on your body.

In addition, if the purpose of walking is to digest dinner or relax, or just to go outside to get some fresh air, or to sort out the day's affairs during the walk, then walking slowly is definitely better than walking fast. . If you walk fast, your breathing will become faster and your heartbeat will speed up. Your energy may be spent on paying attention to changes in your body, and you will not have the time to appreciate the surrounding scenery and achieve your other goals.

On the contrary, if the purpose of walking after meals is to exercise, burn fat, and sweat, then brisk walking is a good choice. But remember to wait at least an hour before walking briskly (preferably after 2 hours). When walking briskly, remember to put on a pair of comfortable shoes and breathe well. Keep exercising for at least half an hour.
