Modern people have a fast pace of life. Taking a nap can relieve the cardiovascular system and reduce the tension of the human body. Urban white-collar workers, who are mainly engaged in mental work, can experience a great improvement in work efficiency after lunch break. Due to the limited time at noon, many office workers are used to sleeping at their desks.
Occasionally, this has little impact on human health, but chronic gastritis will come in the long run. Because it takes the human body at least 1 hour to empty the food in the stomach after lunch, it will take a nap on the table just after the meal, and the stomach will be squeezed, which will increase the burden of peristalsis, easily cause flatulence, reduce digestion ability, affect nutrient absorption, delay gastric emptying, and destroy the gastric mucosal barrier, thus leading to gastritis.
Do not drink tea immediately after meals;
Many people like to drink a cup of "after-meal tea" to get greasy, but Dai, director of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Nutrition Department, said that drinking tea immediately after meals is a very unhealthy way to drink tea. Drinking tea after meals will not only lead to indigestion, but also increase the risk of stones. Tea contains tannic acid and theophylline, both of which will affect the digestion of food.
Gastric juice and intestinal juice are essential for human digestion, but when tannic acid enters the gastrointestinal tract, it will inhibit their secretion, which will lead to indigestion.
In addition, tannic acid will coagulate with protein in meat, eggs, bean products, dairy products and other foods to form indigestible tannic acid protein clot. If the food you eat contains metal elements, such as iron and magnesium, tannic acid may react with them and may form stones over the years.
Meanwhile, gastric acid is acidic, while tea is alkaline. Drinking tea immediately after meals will not only inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, but also dilute gastric acid, affecting the secretion of protease in gastric acid, thus affecting digestion.
