There are things that are absolutely contraindicated to do after a meal. Some of them are not only uncomfortable, but also can trigger health problems.
WALK
We ate and immediately went for a walk to "disperse" calories? And for good reason. In spite of the opinion that a walk after a meal is useful for digestion, it is not. This haste can cause indigestion and acidity.
Physicians are advised to go for a walk, not earlier than 1-2 hours after eating. By the way, the same goes for bathing: after a meal is better not to indulge yourself with a relaxing treatment in the hot water.
TEA
Enjoy complete dinner cup of tea and a bun or a cookie? And forget about this habit. Because only one cup of tea after a meal lowers the acidity, prevents normal digestion and prevents the absorption of iron from food!
It is better to drink for half an hour before a meal and, moreover, the water. A tea party to begin already after 1-2 hours after the meal.
FRUIT
Fruits are very useful for health. But eat them immediately after a meal should not be. They can trigger the fermentation processes in the stomach and aggravate the process of digestion. Therefore, physicians are advised to eat apples, pears and other fruits, or before a meal, or one hour after a meal.
Quiet time
Many people like to sleep after eating, believing that better on a full stomach is filled. But this habit is dangerous because you can wake up already with heartburn and stomach discomfort.
To avoid this, wait 2 hours after ingestion, and food and start to dream. By the way, remember that the best and most restful sleep would be the case if the food will be as light as possible.
SMOKING
And finally, one of the most unhealthy habits - smoking. If the cigarette immediately after a meal, it momentarily disrupt the process of digestion, causing a lot of different diseases in the gastro-intestinal tract.
So if you really can not stop smoking, or at least wait 30-40 minutes after eating, and only then smoked the first cigarette.
