What should I do after supper?
Half an hour after breakfast
1. Have some fruit
Whether it is an instant breakfast such as bread and milk, or a traditional breakfast with porridge, fried dough sticks and soybean milk, there is a problem of single nutrition.
Eating some fruit after breakfast is a good supplement to breakfast. The best choice is kiwi fruit and strawberry.
Because these two fruits are rich in vitamins, taking rich vitamins in the morning can refresh your mind and ensure the work efficiency in the morning.
In addition, eating fruit after breakfast can also promote digestion, which is conducive to nutrient absorption.
Massage your knees.
After breakfast, you can massage your knees or pat the outside of your calves. Theoretically speaking, at 7-9 am, the stomach meridian is called "Changshou meridian" in the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine and passes through the knee joint.
Rubbing the knee joint repeatedly about 20 minutes after a meal can make the stomach meridian unobstructed, and it can also drive away cold and protect joints in cold winter, which is a good health preserving method.
In addition, you can pat the outside of the calf for 5 minutes. There is Zusanli, the most important acupoint in the human body. Playing after meals helps to prolong life.
Half an hour after lunch
1. Have a cup of yogurt.
Yogurt contains a lot of organic acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid, which not only gives yogurt a refreshing sour taste, but also helps to form delicate curd, thus inhibiting the reproduction of harmful microorganisms.
At the same time, it can reduce the alkalinity of intestine, increase the acidity of intestine, and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and secretion of digestive juice.
Tyrosine in yogurt also helps to relieve psychological stress, high tension and anxiety.
nap
Half an hour after lunch is the key moment to adjust the physical and mental state, and office workers can take a nap during this time.
Taking a nap at noon can relieve stress and improve memory, even if it is only ten minutes, the effect is immediate.
If you can't sleep, you can use this time to stretch your waist, stand on tiptoe and take a deep breath, which can refresh your mind.
Half an hour after dinner
1. Doing housework consumes calories
You might as well use this time to clean your room, tidy up your desk or wardrobe, or massage each other among family members, all of which can burn calories.
2. Beat the meridians to help digestion
You can use this time to beat the meridians, mainly for Ren meridian, that is, the middle part above the lower abdomen. There are many important acupoints here. After eating, gently pat it for 20 minutes from top to bottom, which can help digestion and keep fit.
Never do these things after dinner.
1. Drinking strong tea immediately after meals affects digestion.
Tea contains a lot of tannic acid. Drinking strong tea after meals will make the undigested protein combine with tannic acid to form a precipitate, which will affect the absorption of protein.
The substances in tea will also hinder the absorption of iron, and form a bad habit of drinking strong tea after meals for a long time, which is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia.
In addition, drinking tea immediately after a meal, a lot of water enters the stomach, which will dilute the digestive juice secreted by the stomach, thus affecting the digestion of food by the stomach.
2. Smoking immediately after meals doubles the lethality.
After meals, the gastrointestinal peristalsis of the human body is very frequent, the blood circulation is also accelerated, and the digestive system begins to exercise in an all-round way.
If you smoke at this time, the absorption of smoke by lungs and whole body tissues will be greatly enhanced, resulting in a large number of harmful components in smoke being absorbed, which will have a strong stimulating effect on breathing and digestive tract, and will undoubtedly bring much more harm to human functions and tissues than usual smoking.
It's easy to make mistakes when driving immediately after dinner.
Due to the need of digestion after meals, most of the blood is concentrated in the stomach, and the brain is in a state of temporary ischemia. At this time, driving is prone to operational errors and car accidents.
So it is safer to drive 1 hour after meals.
4. Take a bath immediately after a meal or soak your feet for indigestion.
Doing so will increase the body surface blood flow and decrease the gastrointestinal blood flow accordingly, thus weakening the digestive function of the stomach.
It is recommended to rest 1~2 hours first.
5. Brush your teeth immediately after meals, loosen your belt, and hurt your teeth and intestines.
Some people like to brush their teeth after meals, but brushing their teeth immediately will damage the loose enamel.
In addition, although relaxing the belt makes the stomach comfortable, it will cause the intra-abdominal pressure to drop, force the gastroptosis, increase the load of digestive organs and ligaments, aggravate gastrointestinal peristalsis, and easily lead to volvulus, intestinal obstruction and gastroptosis.
6. It hurts your stomach to exercise and sing immediately after meals.
Although it makes sense to "walk a hundred steps after a meal", it is best for the elderly not to exercise, because within half an hour after a meal, the stomach becomes very heavy because of receiving food.
At this time, taking part in sports will "shock" the stomach and affect the digestive function. It is advisable to rest for 30 minutes after meals.
For young people, it is best not to sing after a full meal. As the saying goes, "singing after a meal", because singing after a meal will make the diaphragm move down and increase the abdominal pressure, which will cause indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort.
