Seven Things To Not Do Immediately After a Meal

by Zeal, Aug 24, 2007

We always miss on small things that matter the most.

EAT FRUITS:
Eating fruits immediately after meals will lead to increased gas formation in the stomach. So, it is advised to give a break of one hour after meals.
DRINK TEA:
Tea contains acidic substances in higher quantity and this will interfere with the protein digestion.
SMOKING:
The ill-affects of nicotine multiply 10 times if one smokes immediately after meals.
LOOSEN YOUR BELT:
This in turn results in excessive motility and blocking of the intestines and results in malabsorption.
TAKE BATH:
If you take bath soon after your meals, most of the blood flow is channeled to arms and legs. This reduces the blood flow to the stomach and intestines. As a result it weakens the digestive process.
TAKE A WALK:
Many of us believe that taking a stroll after meals aids in digestion and help us live longer. But it is a myth. Fact is this causes malabsorption of the food we eat.
SLEEP:
Sleeping also lead to indigestion and infection of the intestines.
