Every time I go home for the holidays, I eat like a pig. After eating, I feel very tired and don't want to think too much. I just want to sleep. Are you the same? But as soon as I was lying on the sofa, my mother shouted! Get up and exercise. Wash the dishes by the way. In fact, whether standing, sitting or standing after a meal, the calorie intake is similar. Lying down after dinner won't make you fat at all! And sometimes lie down and have a good rest! Sure! Minus sign! Fat! Of course it's true. Let's elaborate!
Think about it first. Will you be particularly sleepy for a while after eating? In fact, half an hour after a meal is the peak of digestion. During this time, your blood will concentrate around your stomach. And the blood around the brain will naturally be much less. Without blood, your brain will be depressed and sleepy. Viagra, is this comfortable? If you force yourself to exercise at this time, the blood will abandon your stomach and flow back to your brain and muscles. In this way, your gastrointestinal digestive function will decline, and your metabolic ability will also be affected.
So lying still after eating is not because of laziness, but to protect the stomach and prevent obesity. But lying still after a meal is based on eating only eight points full. There is too much food in Li Zhuang's stomach, and the digestive pressure in his stomach is very great. Lying down is not helpful for digestion. Can cause esophageal reflux. Once gastric acid stimulates esophageal mucosa, it will cause heartburn (heartburn), vomiting, gastric acid reflux and even esophagitis.
Blood sugar will rise after meals, and related hormones will be secreted in large quantities. You need to exercise before you have a rest. Especially people with high weight and blood sugar. Moreover, there is a big difference between sleeping and lying down. After people fall asleep, the body will automatically adjust to the power-saving mode, and the peristaltic speed of the gastrointestinal tract will be greatly slowed down. At this time, your metabolic ability will be worse than lying down after meals, and you will gain weight faster!
Appendix:
Digestion schedule of various foods
Fruit for 30-60 minutes
Vegetables 45 ~120min
90 ~180min.
Protein? 90~240 minutes
Fat? 120~240 minutes
So if you eat fruits and vegetables, you will be hungry if you digest them quickly, and if you eat staple meat, you will be hungry if you digest them slowly. However, there are also individual differences in the above digestion time, which is for reference only. When exercising, the metabolism is fast, and Ann's metabolic speed will be affected by many factors: slow at rest, fast when young, and slow when old; If the temperature is too low or too high, the metabolic rate will also accelerate.
There is a rumor that you can't drive after dinner. I want to clarify here: of course I can drive! But only if you are in good spirits. If you are sleepy, you'd better rest for about half an hour and wait until you wake up. There are also rumors that you can't take a shower after dinner. I want to clarify again: most people can rest assured to take a bath! However, if you have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, you may easily fall down because of dizziness. It's best to wait for an hour or two after dinner.
