One of the rather annoying world traveler types on Substack was discussing the Italian habit of walking IMMEDIATELY after eating.
This violates everything we ever learned from TV and doctors and school “health” classes. They STERNLY commanded us to wait at least 30 minutes after eating.
Recently I tried the Italian way. It’s unquestionably better. Walking immediately after eating leads to less tiredness during and after the walk. The longer I wait the worse it gets.
Finally looked it up, and it turns out to be well-known now. Even the “health” authorities are starting to acknowledge that it’s better.
I’m glad I did the experiment first. If I had looked up passeggiata before doing the experiment, I would have seen that the “health” authorities are recommending it, and I would have rebelled.
These are the same all-consuming genocidal NAZI monsters who recommended lockdowns and strangulation and panic and riots as the cure for the common cold. Why should I believe them about anything?
EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY TEACHER.
If the authorities happen to agree with experience, that’s irrelevant.
