About this trial
Gastric content is a key risk factor for aspiration during anesthesia. Although standard fasting times are recommended, various factors-including GLP-1 receptor agonists,-can delay gastric emptying. Gastric ultrasound enables real-time, non-invasive assessment of gastric volume and can help tailor perioperative management. The aim of this study explores the effects of different meal types and physical activity on gastric emptying in healthy individuals.

Physical activity after different type of meals
BehavioralStandardized physical activity (walking) after consuming one of three meal types (vegetable-based, meat-based, dairy-based). Ultrasound of gastric volume will be performed at 3 and 6 hour between walking sessions.
