Hello, everyone. What should we do after supper? Even today, it is still a controversial topic. Many people habitually lie down or sit still after meals, thinking that this will not cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. But some people think that standing after a meal will help digestion, so they will stand up and walk after a meal. Comparing these statements, we don't know which one is correct. So today, we have a good discussion. Which position is the most suitable for sitting and lying down after a meal?

First, let's take a look at sitting after dinner, shall we? In fact, sitting for a long time after a meal is very easy to accumulate fat in the body, which is more likely to aggravate obesity. Moreover, digestion is inherently slow when sitting, and sitting for a long time will make the blood circulation in the abdomen worse, leading to a decline in the function of the gastrointestinal tract. It is likely to lead to obesity.

Secondly, let's take a look at lying down after dinner, shall we? In fact, this practice is the last thing we recommend, because lying down immediately after eating will make food stay in the intestines for too long, leading to indigestion, and it is likely to accumulate a lot of fat. In addition, the blood circulation of the human body will be accelerated after meals, which will reduce the blood volume of the brain. At this time, it may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and serious problems such as thrombosis and stroke. Usually you can lie down for half an hour after a meal.

Therefore, it is recommended to stand or walk after meals. As long as you don't do strenuous exercise, standing or walking immediately after meals will not have a negative impact on the gastrointestinal tract, but may promote digestion, especially for people who sit in the office or study for a long time. Standing or walking can burn calories, reduce body fat, help lose weight and prevent obesity. In short, experts suggest standing or walking after meals. If you feel a little tired that day, you can sit, but lying down after meals is not recommended.
