When people eat food, they will certainly be digested and absorbed by the stomach, and this digestion process is not as fast as everyone thinks. Only a few hours later, when the nutrients in the food have been absorbed by the human body. Next, the remaining calories in the food will form what people call fat meat. It would be too easy to gain weight just by sitting after meals, and there wouldn't be so many thin people in this world. Therefore, gaining weight is not the action of sitting after meals.

Of course, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with sitting. If you don't just sit after dinner, you will sit all day. Because sedentary is almost a static state, in this case, your daily exercise is very small, but if you don't consume it every day, the probability of getting fat will greatly increase.

"Walking a hundred steps after a meal can live ninety-nine." Although the old saying is exaggerated, it is also reasonable. Today, let's take a look at what actions are good for your health after dinner.

1, rinse your mouth after meals.

Nowadays, the pace of life is so fast that many people ignore gargling after meals. One day only causes them to get up and brush their teeth. After eating, a lot of food residue will remain between teeth. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily lead to bad teeth and some oral diseases.

2. Walk slowly after dinner.

As mentioned above, there is an old saying that "you can live ninety-nine if you walk a hundred steps after a meal", and the ancients have long helped us sum up our experience. Slow pacing after meals can better promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the secretion of gastric juice and promote the absorption of food and nutrition by the stomach. Walking slowly after meals is a simple and effective way to maintain health, especially for middle-aged and elderly people whose digestive function has gradually deteriorated. But remember to do some strenuous exercise immediately after meals.

Therefore, don't fall asleep immediately even if you are sleepy after a meal. Finally, give yourself a designated time and place and walk around the park several times, which can help digestion, burn fat and promote health. Don't go to bed until the food in your stomach is almost digested.

At the same time, the probability of gaining weight can be avoided. In diet, if you don't want to gain weight, you need to stay away from real fat. Fat contains a lot of saturated fatty acids, which will not only improve the level of blood lipids, but also affect the health of the heart and blood vessels. If you really don't want to gain weight, there are other ways: eat less and exercise more every day.
