1. What should I not do immediately after dinner?
(1) Smoke immediately after eating.
Most people in life have this habit. Some people say that a cigarette after a meal is a living immortal. Actually, this statement is wrong. Smoking after meals will greatly increase the absorption of smoke by lung tissue and some harmful substances in cigarettes, which will not only directly stimulate the respiratory tract and lungs, but also bring greater harm to other tissues and organs than usual smoking.
(2) Drink tea immediately after meals
The habit of drinking a cup of hot tea after a meal is not good either. Because drinking tea immediately after a meal will not only dilute gastric juice, theophylline will also inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and affect the normal digestion of food.
(3) Drink cold drinks after meals
After eating, our blood is generally concentrated in the digestive organs, and gastrointestinal activities are more active. Drinking cold food at this time will not only dilute gastric acid, but also shrink the mucosal blood vessels in the stomach wall, inhibit the secretion of digestive glands, and make food difficult to digest. It is easy to produce indigestion symptoms such as loss of appetite, fullness and discomfort.
(4) Eat fruit immediately after meals.
It takes 1~2 hours to digest the staple food after it enters our stomach. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, you will be blocked by the original food. Fruit usually contains sugar. If they stay in the stomach for too long, they will flatulence and produce toxins from it, which will cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain, stomach acid, constipation and other adverse symptoms.
(5) It is not advisable to take a bath after meals.
If you take a bath immediately after a meal, the pores and blood vessels of the whole body will expand, leading to blood gathering on our body surface, reducing gastrointestinal blood flow and digestive juice secretion, thus affecting the digestion and absorption function. If you often take a bath after meals, it will become indigestion over time and hinder the normal physiological functions of related tissues and organs. It will also lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and induce symptoms such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
(6) defecate immediately after meals
If the food in the body is not fully digested, the stool will be relieved. Because of holding your breath, the pressure in the abdomen will suddenly increase, and gastric acid and digestive enzymes may reflux to the esophagus, which may form reflux esophageal ulcer over time. Stool immediately after meals can also promote pyloric smooth muscle dysfunction and bile reflux, leading to congestion, edema and even inflammation of gastric mucosa.
(7) It is not advisable to pull the waistband after a meal.
When you feel bloated after eating, you will think of going to Matsushita to reduce the swelling, but in fact, this is wrong, and it will affect your stomach more. If you loosen your belt immediately after a meal, the pressure in the abdominal cavity will suddenly loosen, and the supporting function of the digestive tract will weaken, which will increase the load of digestive organs and ligaments, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis disorder, affect your own digestive function, and easily cause symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain. If this continues, it will also lead to gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroptosis and abdominal discomfort.
2. How to keep healthy after meals
(1) Rinse your mouth after eating.
Zhang Zhongjing, an ancient medical scientist, pointed out: "Washing your teeth after meals makes your teeth unbeaten and tastes good." Gargling after meals can keep the mouth moist and clean, stimulate the taste buds on the tongue, enhance the taste function, effectively prevent and treat oral and dental diseases, protect the mouth and teeth, and help stimulate appetite and digestion and absorption.
(2) It is advisable to rub the abdomen after meals.
Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, suggested doing some light exercise after meals. He said: "After eating, rub your face and abdomen with your hands and let the body fluids flow through. It's time to go after eating. " It is also required to "rub your stomach hundreds of times, knock your teeth 36 times, and fill your mouth with things." As long as we can do this, "eating is easy to benefit people, so that people can eat and drink, and end up dead." If you "lie down when you are full", you will "not become sick after eating, but become sick."
Massage the abdomen after meals can not only promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and abdominal blood circulation, but also enhance gastrointestinal function. It can also be used as a benign stimulus, which is beneficial to the regulation of central nervous system function and plays a role in fitness and disease prevention.
(3) Walk slowly after meals
After supper walk a mile. Usually, people with little activity, especially those who work at their desks for a long time, and those who are obese or have hyperacidity, can walk for 20 minutes after meals, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, facilitate the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juice and the digestion and absorption of food, and be beneficial to their health. "Pillow China" records: "Eating only a hundred steps is beneficial to people." It is also said that chewing slowly can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and contribute to the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juice and the digestion and absorption of food. However, don't walk quickly after dinner, don't do strenuous exercise, and don't sit or lie down immediately.
(4) Listening to music after meals
Appreciating soft, bright and beautiful music after meals is of great benefit to the human body. "Shou Shi Bao Yuan" said: "The spleen is good at music, and the sound will move." Taoism also has the saying that "the spleen must be sharpened when listening to music." Listening to soft and fresh music can cooperate with eating; And listening to music after dinner can cultivate your temperament, make your vitality return to the Sect, and forget your troubles.
