Here are two reasons not to linger at the table after dinner:

#1. if you have leftovers sitting on the table, it is very tempting to take second helpings. Even though you aren’t hungry, the aroma and sight of them mayget you to eat more.

#2. This is really important. When you eat a meal, your blood sugar rises. The best thing you can do is get up and move. It will cause your insulin to secrete and send that sugar (glucose) in your blood up into your muscles for energy. That is the natural process for effectively using the glucose from your meal.

Use your food wisely. Eat enough and send it up to your muscles for increased energy.
