Facts show that no matter whether we are standing, sitting or lying down, as long as we don't exercise or move, the physical energy consumed by the human body is the same, that is, our basic metabolic consumption. Therefore, it is not accurate to get fat when lying down after a full meal.
The key point is that when we lie down, the whole body's blood will be concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract, which is also conducive to the secretion of gastric juice, which can promote the digestion, absorption and transportation of food, and is still very beneficial to human health. So lie down after dinner.
Need to remind you to lie down for a while, not to go to bed. If you fall asleep, stomach peristalsis is restricted, food stays in the stomach for a longer time, and energy is not released effectively, then getting fat is inevitable.
The correct way to do it after a meal is this.
1, lie down or half lie down after dinner, preferably on the sofa, not on the bed. This is beneficial to the blood pressure circulation of gastrointestinal tract and the digestion and absorption of primary food.
You can chat with people at this time, but don't drink water or eat fruit. Time is about 30 minutes.
2. After lying down for 30 minutes, you can get up and do some activities, such as cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, or going out for a walk. In short, exercise, but exercise slowly, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach. The time should be controlled at 15 minutes.
During this time, if you need to drink water or eat some fruit, it is ok, but not too much.
3, about 45 minutes after dinner, at this time, activities can be slightly relaxed, such as jogging, if you like, you can dance square dance. This is possible for two purposes.
First, it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus helping to complete digestive tasks better and faster, emptying the stomach before going to bed, and helping to sleep.
Secondly, it is to promote energy metabolism and energy consumption by increasing exercise, so as to better control weight. The time is generally controlled in 30-40 minutes.
It should be noted that the exercise at this time should not be too intense, so as not to overload the stomach and cause discomfort.
Generally, after meals 1.5 hours, all activities are completed, and preparations for night maintenance such as washing are made.
Before going to bed 1 hour, you can prepare for washing and listen to some light music to calm your body down gradually. Avoid strenuous exercise or watch some passionate videos.
Generally speaking, the interval between eating and sleeping should be no less than 2 hours. And don't eat too much dinner (usually controlled in 7-8 minutes), and eat less food that is too greasy, too spicy and difficult to digest.
In short, it's not that you can't lie down after eating, but to avoid sleeping after eating.
The time from dinner to bed is the golden time for health preservation, especially for friends who need to lose weight, so make good use of it.
