Family Life Knows Everything.

Chapter 92

Please remember the following taboos after meals to ensure your health and safety.

1. Take a walk in no rush
The "hundred-step walk" after a meal will affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients due to increased exercise.Especially in the elderly, heart function decline, arteriosclerosis and blood pressure reflex regulation dysfunction, the phenomenon of blood pressure drop often occurs after meals.

2. Don’t rush to loosen your belt

Loosening the belt after a meal will reduce the intra-abdominal pressure, which will weaken the support for the digestive tract, and increase the activity of the digestive organs and the load on the ligaments, which will easily cause gastroptosis.

3. No rush to smoke
The harm of smoking after a meal is 10 times greater than usual. This is because after eating, the amount of blood circulation in the digestive tract increases, resulting in a large amount of harmful components in the smoke being absorbed and damaging the liver, brain, heart and blood vessels.

4. Do not rush to eat fruit

It takes 1 to 2 hours for food to enter the stomach before it is slowly discharged into the small intestine. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, the food will be blocked in the stomach, which can lead to digestive disorders in the long run.

5. Don’t rush to take a shower
Taking a bath after a meal will increase the blood flow of the body surface, and the blood flow of the gastrointestinal tract will decrease accordingly, thereby weakening the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract.

6. Not in a hurry to go to bed
Going to bed immediately after a meal is easy to gain weight.Medical experts advise people to rest at least 20 minutes after meals before going to bed, even if it's nap time.

7. No rush to drive

Facts have proved that drivers who drive immediately after a meal are prone to car accidents.This is because people need a lot of blood to digest food in the stomach and intestines after eating, which can easily cause temporary ischemia of brain organs, resulting in operational errors.

8. No rush to drink tea
A large amount of tannic acid in tea can combine with iron and zinc in food to form insoluble substances, which cannot be absorbed, resulting in the loss of iron in food.If you arrange tea drinking one hour after the meal, there will be no such disadvantages.

Nutritionists believe that eating fruit after a meal will lead to digestive disorders, because fruit is a monosaccharide food and should not stay in the stomach for too long, otherwise it will easily cause abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation, so it is advisable to eat fruit 1 hour before a meal. Let it be digested and absorbed quickly, so that the immune function of the human body will remain normal, and the appetite will also increase greatly.
