Exercise will aid the work of digestion. After a meal, to walk out, hold the head erect, put back the shoulders, and thus exercise moderately in walking, will be a great benefit. The mind will be diverted from self to the beauties of nature. The less the mind is called to the stomach after a meal, the better. If you are in constant fear that your food will hurt you, it most assuredly will. Forget self, and think of something cheerful. T19 40.2

Want of exercise, with some cases, causes the bowels and muscles to become enfeebled and shrunken. Exercise will strengthen these organs that have become enfeebled for want of use. The circulation of the blood is greatly improved by the act of walking. T21 116.1

Many who depend upon the movement cure, could, by muscular exercise, accomplish more for themselves than the movements can do for them. There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. T21 116.1
