But that was one of the things that, you know, some of us in my generation at least were always remembered.

We were told, you know, if you've got a big meal, it's not a good idea to go swim because the blood's moving into the digestion and you won't get many as much as you want where you need it in the limbs.

And that's, you know, it's true.

When you are digesting, a lot of blood investment, shall we call it, is going into the digestive system because there's a lot of work needed to break down this food, turn it into something useful.

It is an investment.

You put a lot in, get much more out.

But what it means is that digestion is all about, I'm just being a bit loose here with the language, but it's not about language.

It's about bringing blood into the core.

When you've got a fever, the blood's all charging around and your body temperature's going up, which is great because fever actually is a defence measure.

You know, when our body temperature rises by a couple of degrees, our white blood cells, the ones that are doing the legwork, two or three times as active.

So fever is what the body uses when it needs to bring out the big guys, bring out the fight.

There's a slight design problem.

It's almost as though, you know, the creators put a purposeful fault in the system because a lot of fever comes from the gut.

You know, you get gut infections.

You know, that's one of the main places.

And at that moment, all the blood's going out here and you want more of it going in, more digestion, if you like.

So when you take a bitter...

When you're taking a bitter, you're actually triggering taste buds up here.

A bitter?

A bitter, something that tastes bitter.
