First of all, people in China have the habit of drinking tea after meals. But drinking tea after meals is a very wrong behavior, because drinking tea after meals will dilute the gastric juice, affect the digestive function of the stomach, and lead to the loss of nutrients. If this happens for a long time, it may also cause gastrointestinal diseases.
Second, smoking after meals. It is said that a cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy. In fact, this is a serious bad behavior, because after eating, our gastrointestinal peristalsis will increase and the blood circulation will speed up. If you smoke at this time, it will lead to excessive absorption of toxins in cigarettes, so it is more likely to cause harm to your body.
Take a bath immediately after the third meal. After a meal, the blood circulation and energy in our body will be concentrated in the stomach. If you take a bath immediately, it will easily lead to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. Mild people will only get dizzy, and severe people may lead to shock, which may also increase the burden on the heart and have serious consequences. If you want to take a bath, it is recommended to take a bath one to two hours after meals.
Fourth, sleep immediately after meals. Lying down and sleeping immediately after meals is not conducive to gastrointestinal peristalsis, food can't be digested, and it is easy to feel stomach pain after waking up. In the long run, the stomach will be damaged. Therefore, in order to protect gastrointestinal health, only by developing good after-dinner habits can we bid farewell to indigestion.
