DIGESTION AND EAEKClSE.
IL is a fact that exercise taken directly
after the introduction Of food into the
system mars digestion TO great extent
The reason is extremely easy or explana-
ton. When food is taken there Is an I'M
mediate flow OF blood TO the organs OF d.
gestion, so that the materials necessary
for the act may be easily supplied. ms
blood comes from the muscles (of the
limbs among others), the brain, and other
organs.
If exercise should now be taken the
blood flows back 10 the muscles, brain,
etc., and none is left for the organs OF
digestion. Result: Indigestion.
