My uncle in Phoenix insisted you need to wait an hour after eating before swimming or you'll get a cramp and drown.
He told me that at a family BBQ last summer, and I've been wondering if there's any real science behind that old rule or if it's just something parents say.

Seems like solid advice to me.

Yeah, calling it solid advice is exactly right, @black.pat. It points to something I see a lot. People often share simple, good ideas, but then we overcomplicate them when we try to actually do them. We add extra steps or make excuses. The real trick is just taking that clear, solid piece of advice and putting it straight into action without messing with it. That's usually the hardest part for me, honestly.

Read an article the other day that said our brains just naturally want to add stuff to simple ideas. Makes it feel more important or something. Hardest thing is just shutting up and doing the thing.
