What not to do immediately after eating

1. NO: Walking
   Many of us believe that after a dense meal it is useful to go for a walk, but this is not entirely true. Walking after eating can cause acid reflux and indigestion. Walking is a great way to spend calories. But doctors recommend doing it no earlier than 15-20 minutes after eating.
   
   
   
   
   
2. NO: Fruits
   It is believed that fruits should be eaten as dessert immediately after eating. But that's not really true. Fruits eaten after the main meal come into contact with it and begin to ferment and sour. This disrupts the normal digestive process. It is better to eat them an hour before meals or at least 2 hours after.
   
   
   
   
   
3. NO: Tea
   Doctors do not advise drinking tea after a meal, as it contains acids that bind iron, preventing it from being absorbed. When we wash down food with this drink, we do not get the right amount of iron from the dishes. This is why the ideal time for tea is at least an hour after eating.
   
   
   
   
   
4. No: Sleep
   Most of us like to go to bed right after eating, but this habit is harmful. In the prone position, a small amount of digestive juices flows back from the stomach into the esophagus. This is why some people experience heartburn when they go to bed immediately after eating. To avoid this problem, go to bed at least two hours after eating.
   
   
   
   
   
5. NO: Bathroom reception
   Bathing in warm water increases blood flow to the extremities and to the entire surface of the body. Accordingly, blood flow in the stomach region decreases. Do water treatments at least half an hour after eating.
   
   
   
6. NO: Smoking
   Smoking after eating causes symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. It also negatively affects the muscles of the colon, responsible for the final stage of the digestive process.
   
   
   

What to do immediately after eating

1. YES: Warm water.
   For proper digestion of food in the first hour after eating, the body needs energy and heat. Therefore, it is advisable not to eat immediately after the main meal cold dishes, for example ice cream. It is best to drink a couple of sips of warm water.
   
   
   
2. YES: Talking to loved ones
   For proper blood flow and digestion speed, avoid physical and mental strenuous activity. It is best to spend time after meals on pleasant communication with loved ones without any disputes and quarrels.
   
   
   
3. YES: Free clothing and belt
   To prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease, do not wear tight clothing and tight belts that press on the stomach.
