Health knowledge after meals
Half an hour after dinner, the golden period of health care! Never do five things after dinner!

Do this after dinner.

Take a break for fifteen minutes after dinner, listen to some light music and drink some tea, but not too much. This helps to prolong life and digest food.

After half an hour, rinse your mouth or brush your teeth with a mouthful of milk and let it stay on your teeth to help them absorb calcium. Only by protecting your teeth can you be healthier.

Then a walk, not just a walk. In the process of walking, we should adjust our breathing, adjust it rhythmically and smoothly as far as possible, and let the stomach digest and absorb it.

Half an hour after breakfast

Don't rush to exercise, so as not to cause indigestion.

Massage the knee joint by hand can make the stomach unobstructed, dispel the cold and protect the joint in the cold winter. This is a good way to keep in good health.

Half an hour after lunch

Half an hour after lunch is a critical moment to adjust your physical and mental state. As the saying goes, "If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon." Studies show that taking a nap at noon can relieve stress and improve memory, even if it is only ten minutes, the effect is immediate.

Even if you can't sleep, you'd better stretch your limbs, take a few deep breaths and relax your tight body.

Half an hour after dinner

Don't rush to exercise, and don't bathe 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.

During this time, you might as well do some housework, such as washing dishes or tidying your room, so that you can exercise without burdening your digestive system.

It is common sense that improper diet will endanger health; Wrong behavior after a meal can also be harmful to health!

Eat fruit after meals.

After food enters the stomach, it needs to be digested 1 ~ 2 hours. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, it will be blocked by the food you have eaten before, which will lead to the fruit not being digested normally and easy to form flatulence. Because fruit contains a lot of monosaccharides, it is easily absorbed by small intestine. If blocked in the stomach, it will cause flatulence and constipation. It is best to eat fruit between meals, especially for people with elevated blood sugar. It is not recommended to eat fruit immediately after meals.

Exercise immediately after meals.

Within half an hour after a meal, the stomach became very heavy because of the food. At this time, taking part in sports will "shock" the stomach, affect the digestive function, and even lead to stomach problems in the long run. So it's best to sit still for half an hour after dinner, and then go out to do light activities such as walking.

Drink strong tea after meals.

Drinking tea immediately after meals will dilute gastric juice and affect food digestion. At the same time, tannic acid in tea can turn protein in food into indigestible solidified substance, which increases the burden on the stomach and affects the absorption of protein. Tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which combines with iron in food to prevent iron from being absorbed in the intestine.

Go to bed immediately after dinner.

After going home for dinner, some office workers often feel sleepy because of satiety, and they are tired during the day, so they will take a nap. Sleeping after a full meal will increase the burden on the stomach, leading to food accumulation in the body and obesity.

Take a bath immediately after meals.

Taking a bath after meals will increase the blood flow on the body surface and decrease the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract accordingly, thus weakening the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion. Scientifically speaking, don't wash when you are hungry before meals, which is easy to cause hypoxia and temporary anemia. It can't be washed immediately after a meal, and it is best to wash it for more than an hour after a meal. Taking a bath before going to bed will eliminate the fatigue of the day and make you fall asleep easily.
