1, have a rest: "When you are full, you lie down and get sick." Many old people dare not lie down immediately after meals and choose to take a walk, but this is not healthy. After a meal, the stomach is full, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract for preliminary digestion. Get up and leave in a hurry at this time, and some blood will concentrate on the motor system, which will delay the secretion of digestive juice and destroy the normal digestion of the stomach. The correct way is to rest for 30 minutes after meals, which is helpful to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and secrete gastrointestinal digestive juice. For the elderly with gastroptosis, it is best to lie down for a while after meals, because the gastroptor has a great influence, and lying down feels a little better. If you walk immediately after a meal, it will aggravate the damage of food to the stomach and small intestine and easily cause indigestion or abdominal pain.

2. Rub your abdomen after meals: Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Rub your face and abdomen with your hands after meals to make body fluids circulate. It's time to go after eating. " He also asked for "rubbing his stomach with his hands hundreds of times, knocking on 36 teeth, and his mouth was full." As long as you can do this, "people can eat and drink, and there is nothing wrong with them." "Lie down when you are full" will make you "sick". Specific practice: put the palm of your hand on the abdomen and navel as the center, and massage slowly and gently clockwise and counterclockwise, 20 times each.

3. Walk slowly after meals: It is recorded in China's Taking Pillows that "only eating a few hundred steps will benefit people." Slow eating after meals can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and contribute to the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juice and the digestion and absorption of food. But don't walk fast and do strenuous exercise. The time for walking should be 20 minutes after dinner, not just after dinner. However, people with poor health and gastroptosis should not take a walk after meals, and lie flat after meals 10 minutes. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are also not suitable.
