* when your body is digesting food, your core muscles can't be activated the same way because the food in stomach/intestines gets in the way. | * when your body is digesting food, your core muscles can't be activated the same way because the food in stomach/intestines gets in the way. | ||
This is reflected in the fact that the body has two systems opposed to each other. The ''fight-or-flight'' system ("sympathetic nervous system") and the ''rest-and-digest'' system ("parasympathetic nervous system). Also, keep in mind that food stays in the digestive tract for ''at least'' 5 hours. | This is reflected in the fact that the body has two systems opposed to each other.

After you're on your computer or phone or studying at a desk, your body will have a sort of 'residual stiffness' - could be in your neck, back, hamstrings etc - also your glutes may be temporarily weakened. If you go straight to exercising, you might strain yourself (or worse, "snap some sh*t up"). A easy solution is just to take a 10 minute nap where you slowly stretch out. Consider the "straighten out on your back with no pillow" method (this should probably be its own page). Or also, consider exercising when you first wake up before starting anything sedentary or even eating (see above). Of course that's only better if you woke up naturally after getting enough sleep. (should probably have some other page about alarm clocks, why they're unhealthy, why most of the solution is societal (reduce labor hours) but maybe there are some personal hacks that could help in ''some'' cases idk) | After you're on your computer or phone or studying at a desk, your body will have a sort of ''residual stiffness'' - could be in your neck, back, hamstrings etc - also your glutes may be temporarily weakened.

A easy solution is just to take a 10 minute nap where you slowly stretch out - the stiffness will work itself out as your body returns to more neutral positions.
