Donts after a Meal

Almost all of the health problems start with stomach, and most of them are because of poor habits related to food. In this post we will discuss few points which are a strict no after a meal, specially at night.

"Donts after a meal"

1. Don't smoke
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher)

2. Don't eat fruits
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal

3. Don't drink tea
Tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest

4. Don't loosen your belt
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted &blocked

5. Don't bathe
Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach

6. Don't walk about
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we take

7. Don't sleep immediately
During sleep our body relaxes and the organs becomes dormant. Thus, the food we ate will not be digested properly. This can lead to gastric problems or infection in our intestine

Take care of these few things and live a healthy life...
