Online Khobor Desk :
Often one feels lazy and sleepy after a heavy meal. Hence, people indulge in activities such as smoking or having a cup of tea in order to help them digest their food as well as to avoid that drowsy feeling that sneaks in after a meal. However, such habits are not good for health.
Here are some things one should avoid after having a full meal:
No sleeping:
One should not sleep after a full meal. If we go off to sleep immediately after a meal, we still feel full even when we got up . Reason is that the meal has not been digested.
No smoking:
Smoking immediately after a meal is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes. One should not smoke as smoking is harmful to our body.
No bathing:
One should not take bath after a meal as it delays the digestion process. The blood around the stomach flows to other parts of the body during shower instead of helping with digestion.
No fruits:
It is often said that one should eat fruits first as they are easy to digest. Fruits should be eaten an hour before a meal or two hours after a meal. Fruits will not be digested properly if you eat them directly after a meal.
No tea:
One should not drink tea right after meal as tea leaves are acidic and will affect the digestion process. Drinking tea immediately after a meal will also interfere with iron absorption by the body. Avoid drinking tea one hour before and after meals.
