Especially in Romance languages, such as Italian, French or Spanish, the liqueur after meals is also called digestive.
This to emphasize its properties of making digestion easier.
But… does liquor really help digestion?
No. It doesn’t.
At least, it has never been scientifically proven.
Indeed, several studies seem to confirm the opposite.
But perhaps we like alcohol so much that we have always wanted to believe that this myth was true even if the scepticism of the scientific community comes from far back in time: one of the most exhaustive papers on the subject is dated as far back as Annus Domini 1898 (“A further study of the influence of alcohol and alcoholic drinks upon digestion, with special reference to secretion” by Yale University).
Anyway, are you looking for something to speed up digestion?
Science says: take a walk!
This will have a beneficial effect not only on the stimulation of the stomach and intestines, but can also help keep both blood pressure and sugar levels at bay.
And last, but not least, may reduce heart disease risk.
And, sure, you’ll also burn a few calories, so you’ll feel less guilty if you over-indulged at dinner!
