* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette
after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is
higher).
* Don't eat fruits immediately -When you eat your
fruits with meals, the fruit is stuck in the stomach along with the
contents of the meals and cannot reach the intestines in time. Lying
there they get spoilt and spoil the
remaining food in the stomach too. Thus it is recommended that you eat a
fruit at least one hour after eating a meal or before your meal and
preferably in the morning with empty stomach. It is in the morning that
the body can best use the nutrients in the fruit and get enough energy
to start the day.
* Don't drink tea - Because 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.It is preferable to drink tea an hour after meals.
* Don't loosen your belt -Fiction, not particularly bad for you!
We generally have an attitude that a good meal is that which forces us
to loosen our belts. However, loosening the belt is bad, not because it
causes the intestines to twist or block but because it means that you
have over eaten to a level that you are uncomfortable. Loosening of the
belt may also cause you to feel comfortable once again which means you
may continue overeating.
So eat only to the extent that you can be comfortable without loosening your belt!
* Don't bathe - Bathing after meal 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.
* Don't walk about -Fact, it is bad for you!
Walking directly after meals is a bad idea, it can result to acid reflux
and indigestion. However, walking about half an hour after meals is
known to be good for you. Researchers in the Department of Exercise
Science at the University of South Carolina, have found that walking
after exercise is a good way to burn energy.
The point to note
is when to walk, you should ideally walk for about 10 minutes and only
20-30 minutes after meal to prevent acid reflux and stomach upsets.
* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to
digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our
intestine.
