Wow, what an interesting article. Here's a great tidbit:
when diving, marine mammals' blood travels only to the parts of the body that need oxygen--the heart, the brain and the swimming muscles. Digestion and any other processes have to wait.
- awkwarddaturtle 9y agoI wonder if this is why people tell you not to go swimming after you eat? I remember my parents always telling me that. Would swimming/diving affect human digestion?
- Patient0 9y agoYes but it's a myth: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?articlekey=47368 http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?article...
