• Traditional advice against stretching after meals, once a childhood joke, is now validated by science and Ayurveda.
• Elderly historian Dr. Shivkumar Singh Kaushikeya explains that forceful stretching hinders the digestive process.
• Ayurveda states that sudden body movements after eating disturb Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, leading to indigestion and gas.
• Scientifically, increased blood flow to the digestive system means sudden movements can cause discomfort and acid reflux.
