A hundred slow steps after eating. The oldest digestion advice there is.

How to do it

Walk roughly a hundred slow steps within about ten minutes of finishing your meal. Keep it gentle and flat — no pace, no stairs, no hills. What this replaces is sitting straight back down after eating.

What it does

A hundred steps after eating — the oldest digestion advice in the system.

When you'll be given it

Added automatically whenever the check-in reports Agni is low.

Where it comes from

Traditional dinacharya: a hundred paces after the meal.

Take care

Gentle only. Vigorous movement straight after eating works against digestion rather than helping it.

There's no button here to start this. Your practice is prescribed each morning — that's what keeps the dose honest.
