WHAT’S AHEAD Throughout the coming year, I’m looking forward to diving deeper into the 3 Dimensions with you. In this month’s issue, we’re exploring aspects of the Financial Dimension (see articles on p. 2, 4, 6 and 7). As someone who has dedicated over five decades to helping families like yours strengthen not only your Financial Dimension, but your Foundational and Intellectual Dimensions as well—I can promise you, the
We all know the after-lunch slump leaves us counting the minutes to our next nap. But research shows that sleeping or lying down after eating isn’t the best for health (no matter how good it feels). When you do this, you’re not allowing your body the time it needs to digest your food properly, and you may experience various digestive issues, such as acid reflux and heartburn. We all want to stay healthy and keep our Foundational Dimension strong, but perhaps in a way that best fits our body’s needs. So, is walking the best activity to do after eating? WALK YOUR WAY TO BETTER DIGESTION

FUN FOOD IDEAS
THE POST-MEAL WALK Walking is a light movement that can help your food move through your stomach and intestines, making digestion smoother. Not only can walking help improve your digestion after eating, but this simple exercise can also bring many other benefits:

Of course, regular exercise improves your overall health significantly, even if it’s just a quick walk around the neighborhood. Better yet, bring your family members along to stay connected and add to your Foundational Dimension even more! WHEN AND HOW LONG IS BEST? You gain the most digestive benefits if you walk right after eating. Waiting too long afterward may only minimally aid your digestive process. Be sure to get moving as soon after your meal as possible! As for frequency, ideally, you should go for a stroll after every meal. However, to get started, try going for a walk after dinner. You can increase your number of walks as you get accustomed to the exercise. Ten minutes is all you need to reap the benefits of walking after eating. While you can walk longer if you’d like, 10 minutes is doable even with a busy schedule. Plus, if you walk for 10 minutes after every meal, that’s 30 minutes of exercise daily! Take your dog with you or stroll with your family, engaging in conversations and growing even closer. So the next time you leave the table, lace up and know that you’re doing your mind, body, and Foundational Dimension a huge favor!
