But I still suggest that office white-collar workers should not sit for a long time, because the pressure on the lumbar spine is relatively high, and standing, sitting and lying down are better for our health.
Whether standing, sitting or lying down after a meal, there is actually little difference in calories. Don't worry about getting fat when you lie down after dinner. The key is how much to eat. Eat a lot every day, and you will still get fat standing every day. You don't eat much. Why don't you lie down?
Some people suggest taking a walk after meals to lose weight. Exercise is good, but it is not recommended to leave immediately after dinner. When your stomach needs digestion, but you keep walking, your stomach will definitely not digest well, which may help you lose weight, but it will hurt your health.
I'm talking about lying down, not sleeping. If you sleep immediately after a meal, it is actually bad for your stomach. We sleep in a very energy-saving mode, everything is in the lowest consumption state, and our stomach works slowly when we sleep.
Some people say that they just want to sleep after meals, but it is actually related to our diet structure. Experiments show that when we eat a lot of carbohydrate staple food, we are more likely to feel sleepy and eat some light fruits and vegetables, but not protein. Sleepiness is not because our blood is given priority to the stomach after meals, and the lack of oxygen in the brain leads to sleepiness. The brain is a priority and will not be in short supply because the stomach digests food. Sleepiness is a hormonal change caused by eating too many staple foods with supersaturated carbohydrates.
After dinner, whether standing, sitting or lying down, the energy consumption is similar, so let's lie down, okay? Of course, you can lie down and rest, but sleeping is not recommended. If you really want to lose weight, you can do some hand exercises, that is, keep your legs and torso still and let your hands do some exercises, which can also help you lose weight.
You can stand in the posture of a healthy pile, that is, your knees are slightly bent, pay attention to the same direction of your kneecaps and toes, then do some arm movements and raise your hands horizontally up and down. Health piles are generally recommended to practice for half an hour after meals, but I don't think it has any effect. This posture has little effect on the stomach.
