After you finished a high-fat meal, the natural antioxidant system is temporarily overwhelmed so that your endothelium cells start to be damaged by the free radical molecules. Endothelium cells play an important part in maintaining the health of your heart and arteries.
To reverse this process, you just need to take a 45-minute walk, preferably 2 hours after your meal. This was suggested by the researchers at Indiana University.
Similar studies had been conducted by the British Heart Foundation and found that exercising after a high-fat meal can in fact reduce the harm inflicted by 15 percent.
