Don't do these four things in a hurry after dinner 1 hour.
Drink water or eat fruit.
I believe many friends have the habit of drinking water after meals, because most people's tastes are still relatively heavy, and it is common to add too much seasoning in the cooking process. Drinking some water after a meal can also quench your thirst. But just after eating, the last thing the stomach wants to see is water, because the stomach is secreting gastric juice to promote digestion and absorption, and the supplement of water will dilute gastric juice and reduce digestion ability.
If you often drink water immediately after meals, you should know exactly what indigestion tastes like. In fact, in addition to indigestion, drinking water immediately after meals will have more serious consequences, such as increasing the burden on the stomach and inducing stomach problems. Similarly, it is not recommended to eat fruits with high water content immediately after meals.
Take a bath or soak your feet
For friends who value health, soaking feet is very sacred in their hearts. Soaking feet has a strong health care function, but the time of soaking feet is also particular. Soaking your feet at an inappropriate time will get you nothing and even affect your health. As we all know, soaking feet can improve the coldness of hands and feet and metabolism because hot water stimulates the acupoints and meridians of the feet and accelerates the blood circulation of the whole body.
That is to say, when soaking feet, the blood that should have gathered in the stomach to help digestion will be scattered all over the body, and the digestive ability of the stomach will be weakened. In addition to soaking feet, bathing has a similar effect. If you want your stomach to digest and absorb normally, you should avoid soaking your feet or taking a bath immediately after meals.
strenuous exercise
Perhaps in everyone's mind, exercise after meals is the easiest way to consume calories, but in fact, before losing weight, health will go wrong first. After dinner, our stomachs got bigger. At this time, strenuous exercise can easily lead to gastroptosis. Moreover, during exercise, the whole body blood circulation is accelerated, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food and is easy to cause stomach problems.
We often say that taking a walk after a meal is beneficial to promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis, and it is also subject to half an hour after a meal, and the intensity of exercise should not be too great. Proper exercise can avoid abdominal distension and indigestion after meals, but strenuous exercise should still be arranged after food is completely digested.
sleep
Some friends eat dinner late and choose to go to bed directly after dinner. In general, we suggest that dinner should be about 4 hours before bed. If the dinner is arranged later, it is necessary to postpone the sleep time for the digestion of the stomach, because the food will not be absorbed immediately after entering the stomach, and it will take about 4-5 hours to be fully digested and absorbed. Sleeping after meals will not only cause indigestion, but also affect the quality of sleep.
After people fall asleep, various organs in the body will also go into a dormant state. At this time, the working efficiency of the stomach will be reduced, and the food in the stomach will not be digested smoothly. The gastrointestinal function of the elderly is inherently poor. If the working rhythm of the stomach is disrupted, the problem of digestive dysfunction is more likely to occur. Sleeping immediately after meals is also easy to cause malnutrition, obesity and other problems.
Conclusion: The habits after meals affect our health. I hope you don't try the above four things easily. If you have these habits, you can keep healthy by correcting them in time.
