In Ayurveda there is a sutra in the Charaka Samhitha that recommends to walk 100 steps after a meal. In the west these are known as Thermal Walks (a leisurely walk taken shortly after a meal). According to Ayurvedic texts walking 100 steps is what is needed to kick start the gastric fire (Jataragni). The enhancement of the thermic rate of metabolism can aid digestion and mood elevation and reduce bloating, gastritis and glucose levels.

The article below shows that science today is backing what Ayurveda has know for thousands of years. Keep in mind when reading the article that the walk should be mild and short. If you take a brisk and longer walk it can be tiring and you will not digest your meal because all the blood flow and energy will be redirected to your legs and arms instead of the stomach.

Happy leisure walking.

Head out too late and you could lose the benefits
