ok, thanks for this info. despite i don't like that kind of studies.
Which kind of studies? "Scientific" studies
?
they forgot to make a test on people not drinking nor walking after meal. so you can't say walking is better than resting after meal, you can say (regarding that study), that walking after meal is faster "Gastric half emptying time" than drinking after meal.
Well, actually, the group who only drank water can be considered the "control group". The group that walked after eating also drank water, so they all pretty much started from the same place, except one did light exercise (walking) and the other did not.
they even didn't say how much time they were walking. (but i doubt there was more than 10-15 minutes)
They where walking on the treadmill at 4 km/h for the three remaining hours of the study (must've been hella' boring
), except when they where being examined. link to the full study here:

To study additionally the effect of walking on gastric
emptying, subjects received postprandially 40 ml of water
another time and walked afterwards slowly on a treadmill (4
km/h) during the following 3 hours only interrupted by the
US measurements, which were performed in sitting position. "
Conclusion of the study (by the people that make the study) Postprandial consumption of alcoholic digestifs did not affect gastric emptying rate of a solid meal (comparing against what? water after meal?) nor postprandial dyspeptic complaints. However, postprandial walking accelerated gastric emptying of the meal (compared to what, water?) but this had no effect on dyspeptic symptoms
Didn't read the whole study, but I think this is how they did it, yeah.
i was talking about focusing all energy on healing.
doing exercise occupy energy that can be doing healing.
and then, if the exercise is a strong one, you need more energy to recover from it. so , less energy for healing. it's simple.
he will not be hurt or be damaged by resting, not by walking (buy i doubt walking all day is better than resting all day, again, talking about what is better for healing)
and it's not good to be doing it all the time (resting). just when you want to heal. (being sick, or having a little issue you want to recover)
if you are in perfect health, why you would want to be in a sofa all day?
If Badboy's feeling so tired or sick that he doesn't want to move, fine. But if the issue is just digestion after eating something, but feeling fine and energetic the rest of the time, I think walking outside can only be good for him. It's not all black and white as in "If I dare move my little finger, I'll waste healing energy!"
Imagine if you told a type 2 diabetic that he shouldn't move because he's "sick". You'd be actually making things worse!
I know you're not thinking so extremely, but it seems as if you believe moving will make him heal slower than if he just layed in bed.
Moving when you can and feel like it will only help your whole body get into motion, healing motion, IMO.
