Many people say: There are certain things you must not do after a meal. If you step on the taboo minefield, you have to say goodbye to Changshou. Is that true? Lets come look.
01 Can't take a walk after a meal?
can
Huh! "Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine", is that what you said?
Taking a walk after a meal will neither cause insufficient gastrointestinal blood supply nor induce functional dyspepsia .
If you are a friend with high blood sugar and want to lose weight, taking a walk after a meal can help you lower the blood sugar that has just risen after a meal, which is better than sitting down to study and work or lying down to sleep.

02 Can’t take a nap after a meal?
can
"Sleep when you are full, and eat when you sleep." It sounds lazy and very second, but it has nothing to do with gaining weight. As long as you are not full, you can take two more bites.
Moreover, being sleepy after a meal is a normal physiological phenomenon for many friends. It's not because the blood has gone to the gastrointestinal tract and cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, but most of it is affected by blood sugar fluctuations and hormones.
If you feel sleepy, of course you have to sleep, don’t take it hard. Don't sleep at this time, keep it waiting for insomnia before going to sleep?

03 Can’t lie down after a meal?
can
Some people take a nap on their stomachs,But this is bad for the cervical spine and eyes, so naturally you have to lie down and sleep.
Generally speaking, gastroesophageal reflux disease patients who have more serious problems with acid reflux are advised not to lie supine within 2 hours after meals. Others don’t have a big problem, they can lie down as they want and feel comfortable.
04 Does drinking yogurt after meals help digestion?
I’m full and I really don’t recommend drinking it again.
What we often call digestion requires regular gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive enzyme .
However, yogurt itself does not correct the irregular gastrointestinal movement of the body, nor does it have digestive enzymes, and it cannot really help digestion.
In addition, yogurt is considered a food with a strong sense of satiety, and most of the commercially available yogurt contains sugar. If you drink yogurt when you are full, you will eat more sugar and calories, which will make you fuller and more difficult to digest.

05 Can't take a shower after meals?
Yes
If you are a friend with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, take a shower immediately after eating. It is possible that you may fall in the bathroom due to dizziness.
But for most people, the possibility of being affected is unlikely.
06 Can’t brush your teeth after a meal?
can
There are rumors that brush your teeth after a meal,It can damage enamel because of the acidity of food, which makes teeth soft and brittle. There is a certain reason, but it is not absolutely prohibited.
After eating, there are a lot of food residues in the mouth. The benefits of brushing your teeth are beyond doubt. Moreover, the fluorine element contained in toothpaste can also promote the firmness of teeth.
If it is inconvenient to brush your teeth or you are too lazy to brush your teeth, then don't brush it. Don't talk bad about brushing your teeth, just rinse your mouth.
Brushing your teeth immediately after dinner also has a small advantage, that is, you don't like to eat late-night snacks... after all, lazy.
07 Can't drink tea after meals?
can
Huh! "A cup of tea after a meal, refreshes and aids digestion", is that what you said?
Theoretically, the ingredients of tea will coagulate some proteins, which may affect absorption.
But in fact, it's just not recommended to drink a lot of strong tea. It is generally impossible to dilute the gastric juice without drinking more than 2 liters of water. So, don't mind too much about the saying that you can't drink from half an hour to an hour after a meal.

08 Can't eat fruit after a meal?
can
Still the same sentence, if you are already full, don’t take two more bites.
This is just because fruits also have calories and have a strong sense of fullness. Not eating fruits immediately will block all the food you eat in the stomach and indigestion.

09 Can't I loosen my pants belt after a meal?
can
If there is no waistband,If the stomach is not supported, it will cause gastroptosis , then you have to ask: What about people who have never had a waistband?
The trouser belt is not strangling the stomach, and gastroptosis is just a state where the stomach is relatively low, and it will not cause stomach discomfort.
But then again, when you are almost full, loosen your belt quickly and you can eat two more bites.
10 How long can I exercise after a meal?
It is really not recommended to exercise right away
Exercise immediately after a meal, it will indeed affect breathing, gastrointestinal motility, etc., making people feel uncomfortable.
But within half an hour after a meal, there is no problem doing light activities, such as wiping the table, sweeping the floor, etc.
If you want to perform moderate-intensity exercises such as fast walking and jogging, you need to wait until 1 hour after a meal. After 2 hours after a meal, you can rest assured that you can do various physical exercises.
But if you still feel uncomfortable during the exercise, then lilac doctor suggests that you take it easy.
