Have you heard of similar health secrets? Many people adhere to these "rules" for decades, but they don't know that it hurts their health. What are the taboos after a meal? Should I "stand" or "sit" after a meal? Read on and let Xiaokang tell you the answer in this article!
Should I "stand" or "sit" after a meal? "Lying"?
1. Let me talk about standing after a meal.
Standing after a meal is a good choice for people who sit for work and study. One is to help burn calories and reduce fat accumulation, and the other is to relieve the fatigue of sedentary sitting.
2, and then lying down after a meal
There is a saying on the Internet that lying down after a meal is good for digestion and absorption. But this statement is actually not correct.
Lie down immediately after eating, it is easy to accumulate food in the stomach. Especially for people with severe indigestion and weak physique. Otherwise, it is easy to cause symptoms such as gastric acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux, and severe cases can also cause reflux esophagitis.
3. Let’s talk about the most common sitting after a meal.
We often say that we have eaten too much long belly, but maybe, this has nothing to do with eating too much and getting fat. It is related to sedentary sitting.
Especially office workers, sitting at work, sitting while eating, even after eating, they will habitually sit down. If things go on like this, fat will accumulate easily and produce a small belly.
Note: Do not do these 5 things after meals!
1. Drink tea after a meal
Although drinking tea can promote our digestion and absorption of meat, it is scientifically discovered that tea contains a substance called tannin, which can make protein become It is not easy to digest, which hinders the absorption of protein in our body, and over time will make people malnourished.
2. Drink cold drinks after meals
It is very unscientific to consume cold drinks immediately after meals. Perhaps many people know that eating cold drinks after meals can cause gastrointestinal irritation and can easily lead to diarrhea. Taking cold drinks after meals for a long time will damage our intestines and stomach and cause chronic gastrointestinal diseases. 3. Smoking after meals
It is found that smoking a cigarette after meals is equivalent to the usual ten cigarettes. After a meal, people’s gastrointestinal peristalsis will move faster, and blood circulation will also speed up. At this time, the harmful substances of smoking are more likely to be absorbed, and the harm is quite serious.
4. Sleep after a meal
The blood volume of the digestive organs will increase after a meal. At this time, our brain blood supply will be insufficient, and people with insufficient blood supply to the brain will be very tired and drowsy . But if we go to sleep right now, the gastrointestinal motility will slow down and the food will not be easily digested, causing indigestion.
5. Bathing after a meal
Bathing after a meal, the blood flow on the body surface will increase, and the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract will decrease accordingly, thereby weakening the digestive function of the intestines and stomach, causing digestion bad.
These things cannot be done after meals, there are so many! For the sake of the bodies of your relatives and friends, please remember to remind your family and friends around you to understand the way to "health" after a meal.
