Three meals a day is the main source of our energy intake and an important basis for good health. But if you eat well, you have to absorb it in your stomach. So what to do after meals is good for your health?

Rinse your mouth after meals

Rinsing after meals can not only remove the residual taste of food, but also maintain oral health.

After eating, the food residue in the mouth can be washed away in a short time, and the teeth are not easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, gargling after meals is more beneficial to protect your mouth than brushing your teeth in the morning and before going to bed.

Rub your stomach after dinner.

Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Rub your face and abdomen with your hands after meals to circulate body fluids. It's time to go after eating. " He also asked for "rubbing his stomach with his hands hundreds of times, knocking on 36 teeth, and his mouth was full." As long as you can do this, "people can eat and drink, and there is nothing wrong with them." "Lie down when you are full" will make you "sick". Specific practice: put the palm of your hand on the abdomen and navel as the center, and massage slowly and gently clockwise and counterclockwise, 20 times each.

Take a walk after supper

Take a rest for half an hour after a meal, and you can start walking, which can not only help digestion and promote blood circulation in the stomach, but also prevent obesity and improve sleep quality. In addition, walking after getting up in the morning can also stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, but it should be noted that the pace should not be too large, otherwise it will cause muscle soreness in the calf and buttocks.

The pace of the elderly and the weak can be kept at 60-70 steps per minute;

Long-distance walkers, men walk 80-90 steps per minute and women 70-80 steps;

If you are in good health, do about 120- 130 steps per minute.

listen to music

Music is not only an art, but also can strengthen the body, prolong life and even cure diseases. There is a saying in the ancient book "Shoushi Baoyuan": "The spleen is good at music and moves at the sound." Moreover, Taoism also has the saying that "the spleen will grind when it hears music." In fact, these two sentences have the same meaning: music can help digestion. Soft and brisk music can be used as a benign stimulus to regulate the digestion and absorption function of the human body through the central nervous system. Therefore, enjoying soft, bright and beautiful music after meals is of great benefit to the human body.
