Do Not Do These Just After A Meal
1. Cigarette after having a meal
Experts warn that this habit is more harmful than it seems, because only one cigarette after a meal has the effect of smoking 10 cigarettes. Our digestive system works through the entire body and nicotine binds to the blood oxygen.
2. Fruit after having a meal
Your body is able to digest fruit very quickly. If you consume fruit immediately after your meal the fruit remains in the stomach for a long time and causes decay, releases gases and toxins, which, can encourage formation of cellulite. So eat fruit when your stomach is empty or two hours before or after having a meal.
3. Tea after having a meal
This habit is not good, although many people are practicing it. Tea has caffeine as the main ingredient, which binds to iron and slows digestion, which can be very bad for anemic people. Anemic people should not drink tea at least one hour after eating.
4. Swimming after having a meal
In this case, our grandmothers and mothers are totally right, but experts also warn that is not recommended to take a shower right after eating. Water improves blood flow throughout the body, but after eating our blood goes to the stomach where digestion takes place. When we have a shower our body experiences sudden changes in temperature, putting pressure on the blood by the whole body.
5. Waist exercise after having a meal
This is a habit many of us have. But waist exercise after having a meal can lead to intestines entangling and digestion delaying. Also there is an additional reason why waist exercise after having a meal is bad - it can lead to weight gain.
6. Activity after eating
While everyone thinks that physical activity is good after having a meal, the truth is rather different. Physical activity blocks your digestive system from absorbing nutrients from your meal. It is recommended you take an easy and pleasant walk, but without any strong efforts.
7. Sleeping after eating
This is another old myth proven to be true. When we sleep all body functions are “sleeping”. It is not recommended to fall asleep after eating. The lying position is also not recommended and is not good for digestion and gastric juices, as they are unable to do their job. This habit can lead to stomach problems.
