1, rinse your mouth after meals.
Rinse your mouth after eating. Zhang Zhongjing, an ancient medical scientist, suggested in his article that gargling after meals can not only protect teeth, but also keep the mouth fragrant, keep the mouth moist and clean, stimulate the taste buds on the tongue, effectively enhance people's taste function, and play a great role in preventing and treating dental diseases and digestion.
2. Gently massage the abdomen after meals.
Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, suggested that you touch your abdomen hundreds of times after meals and buckle your teeth 36 times. As long as we can do this, we can ensure a good appetite and treat many diseases. If you lie down after a meal, it will breed many diseases. The specific method is to massage the abdomen with the palm of your hand, and rotate it slowly and gently clockwise and counterclockwise for 20 times with the navel as the center.
3. Take a walk after dinner (as the case may be)
"Take a hundred steps after meals" is more suitable for people who usually have less activity, especially those who work at their desks for a long time, and also for those who are fat or have hyperacidity. If these people take a walk for 20 minutes after meals, it will be good for their health. And "after dinner" is after eating 20? After 30 minutes, I don't mean to go for a walk immediately after dinner.
It is also reasonable to advocate "not going after meals". Judging from the digestive physiological function, the stomach is full after meals. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract for preliminary digestion. After proper rest, the gastrointestinal tract can get more blood supply.
According to the research of brain physiologists, some people's "satiety" is just that their stomachs are full, but the nutrients are not absorbed into their bodies, and their bodies are still in a "hungry" state. In the process of eating for just ten minutes, the food you eat has no time to digest, let alone absorb.
When you get up and leave in a hurry, some blood will be concentrated in the motor system, which will delay the secretion of digestive juice and easily induce functional dyspepsia.
How to get there after dinner?
Insomniacs should walk slowly for half an hour at night and rest 15 minutes before going to bed, which has a good sedative and hypnotic effect.
Patients with hypertension should land on the ground with the sole of their feet, and don't land on the ground with the heel first, otherwise the brain will keep shaking and easily cause dizziness.
Patients with coronary heart disease should walk slowly after meals 1 hour to avoid inducing angina pectoris. Long-term persistence is helpful to improve myocardial metabolism and reduce arteriosclerosis.
People with mild cognitive impairment should walk with their arms turned back, put their hands on the Mingmen point of the lower back, slowly step back 50 steps, then step forward 100, and walk backward 5~ 10 times. (Pay special attention to safety when going backwards)
People with gastrointestinal diseases can rub their stomachs for a walk. When walking, they can massage their abdomen with their hands and walk 30-60 steps per minute. Massage for one week in each step, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise, and walk for 3-5 minutes each time.
Don't eat after three meals
1, don't rush to drink tea.
People in China have the habit of drinking tea after meals, but a large number of acidic substances in tea can combine with iron and zinc in food, leading to the loss of iron in food. You'd better drink it in half an hour.
Don't rush to take a bath and soak your feet.
Doing so will increase body surface blood flow and decrease gastrointestinal blood flow, thus weakening the digestive function of the stomach. It is recommended to rest 1~2 hours first.
3. Don't exercise in a hurry.
Many middle-aged and elderly friends are used to exercising in the morning, but it is best not to exercise immediately after breakfast (it is recommended to exercise for half an hour after breakfast), otherwise it will easily cause indigestion; If the intensity of exercise is high, it will also cause abdominal pain or gastrointestinal diseases, which is also very dangerous for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients.
