A member asked:

How long should i wait after eating lunch to have a nap? what is best to eat before and after workout

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eating/ nap: There is no hard and fast rule about eating but I have always waited until i felt like i digested my food. Workout i eat an hour before, that's my personal habit.
