After dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile - Proverb for February 6


The idea behind today's proverb is that dinner is a large meal and we benefit from taking it easy after such a meal to aid in digestion.  Supper on the other hand is a lighter meal and there is no reason to take it easy and in some cases a walk may even be beneficial.  While this may be a catchy proverb there doesn't seem to be much information about it or a strong case for it and so I personally don't find this proverb very convincing.
