Many of us do not even think it's important for the body each meal time and immediately afterwards. Meanwhile, the food provides us with energy, without which it is impossible to properly (and easy) to live. However, in order to allow power to bring the maximum benefit, you must follow some simple rules. In particular, those relating to specific prohibitions.
So, after a meal should not be:
1. Eat fruits. It might seem strange, because we are accustomed from childhood to refer to fruit desserts that just need to eat after the main course. However, such an approach necessarily will cause fermentation in the stomach and intestine, the digestive process is disrupted. Nutritionists advise eating fruit (any) one hour before meals or 2 hours after it.
2. Drink. This, by the way, should not be done, and during the meal. The liquid will dilute the gastric juice, and enzymes contained in it, is not enough for good digestion. The process will be delayed and will likely begin the fermentation half-digested food and its subsequent decay.
3. Take a bath, hot shower. Contact body with high temperature water will inevitably cause the blood flow to the extremities. And that means reduced blood flow to the digestive tract. It also negatively affect the process of digestion, but, in addition, can cause pain in the stomach. Water treatments are possible only after an hour after eating.
4. Sleep (especially if eaten too much). And this, despite the fact that a well-fed man, usually sleepy. However, napping is not recommended after meals, because during sleep time significantly slows down metabolism, and together with it and intestinal peristalsis. In addition, recent studies have shown that people who do not allow themselves to sleep after eating, significantly reduced the risk of stroke.
5. smoke. This, incidentally, is harmful in any way and at any time. But after the meal - especially. Tighten the cigarette immediately after a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner - is doubly harmful. Penetrating into the bloodstream, nicotine causes vasospasm (especially small), and this entails a deficiency of oxygen in the blood. This blood entering the gastrointestinal organs slows down their work.
The above rules are far too complex to execute. It is important that they become a habit. Then get really extract the most out of every meal.
