Astanga Hrudaya
पीत्वा, भुक्त्वाऽऽतपं वह्निं यानं प्लवनवाहनम्। प्रयुञ्जीताहारं विधिनियमितं, कालः स हि मतः॥५५॥
All persons – both healthy and sick should avoid speaking, walking long distances and sleeping immediately after consuming liquids; exposure to sun and fire, travel in vehicles, swimming and riding on animals soon after consuming food. Ahara kala – proper time of meals:- The ideal time for taking meals is after the elimination of feaces and urine, when the mind is clean (devoid of emotions), when the Doshas are moving in their natural paths (functioning normally), when belching are pure without and foul smell or taste, when hunger is well manifest, when the flatus is moving downward easily, when the digestive activity is keen, when the sense organs are clear functioning, when the body is light. Food should be consumed observing the rules and procedures of taking food. That is the ideal time.
