Author	Topic: rest after eating protein?
jhontry 03-05-2003 07:02 PM	hi Wai and members, it's necessary to rest after eat any kind of protein {including brazil nuts}, if so, how long? why do we need to rest? thanks
Wai 03-07-2003 01:50 PM	yes, it is necessary (though individually different), because physical activity requires more blood in the muscles, which makes less blood flow through the digestive organs, which can prevent the completion of digestion. this may result in incompletely digested proteins, which can cause water retention (and thus acne and cellulite) the longer you rest, the better (at least 1.5 to 2.5 hours) that is one reason why it is most convenient to eat all your proteinacous food in one meal (then you need to rest only once a day)

jhontry 03-07-2003 04:33 PM	when you say rest, do you mean totally inactive, or walking, work in the computer is o.k? thanks
Wai 03-12-2003 01:35 PM	all work that requires no physical activity (does not make your heart beat faster), as working behind your comp, is okay rest = keeping your heart beat as slow as when you only sit on the couch
