Eating Before You Shower ?

I heard you shouldn't eat before you shower. Is this true? If so why?

This is a joke right? If this is true, then you should not take a shower or bath when it rains......never eat crackers in bed......don't lie down after you brush your teeth.............makes about as much sense?

there is actually truth (albeit very little) in the statement.

when you eat your body redirects it's resources to the digestive system meaning that there are not spare resources to direct to the muscles and such like.

hence the truth of the statement is that you shouldn't go swimming for at least an hour after eating.

this is one question that is often spawned of misunderstanding that you then shouldn't enter any water after eating.
