Actions to avoid right after a meal… Inadvertent actions after a meal, such as drinking plenty of water, showering, smoking, and vigorous exercise, can harm your health unexpectedly. The representative thing is that the action of lying down is not good. If you lie down with food in your stomach, food will flow back up into your esophagus due to gravity, which can lead to reflux esophagitis.
For these many reasons, for a healthy eating habit, you have to think about what, when, and how much to eat, and it’s good to eat mindfully when you eat. Even so, we usually unconsciously do things that are not conducive to digestion. Besides lying down right after eating, what are some things to avoid?
Tobacco immediately after a meal… absorbs more toxic substances
Cigarettes after eating are like ‘smokers’ national rule’. If you smoke after eating, the perilartin component that gives the sweetness of cigarettes is better absorbed by the body, making the cigarettes taste better. However, perilartine is a toxic substance, so the more it is absorbed, the more harmful it is to the body. In addition, excessive secretion of stomach acid due to nicotine damages the gastric mucosa and increases the risk of gastric ulcer. If you want to smoke after eating, it is better to take a light walk and wait at least 1 hour after eating.
If you take a bath after eating… Digestion slows down due to changes in body temperature
After a meal, blood pools around the stomach to aid in digestion. When you take a bath or shower, your body temperature changes, and the blood gathered around the stomach moves toward the skin to recover the original body temperature. This makes digestion difficult and slow. It is desirable to take a shower or bath about 40 minutes after eating.
Exercising after eating… Risk of acid reflux
Exercising vigorously right after a meal can disrupt the digestive process. It can cause nausea or stomach pain, and it can cause vomiting, which can cause stomach acid to reflux. Bending forward can cause acid reflux as well.
If you drink a lot of water after eating, it dilutes stomach acid and interferes with digestion.
Drinking plenty of water right after a meal slows down the digestive process. Drinking too much water dilutes stomach acid and makes digestion difficult. Drinking half a glass of warm water after eating will help break down and digest food.
After eating fruit or coffee… Nutrients are not absorbed well
Many people enjoy fruit or coffee right after a meal. Surprisingly, if you eat fruit, you may not be able to absorb the nutrients of the fruit well. In addition, phenolic compounds in tea and coffee interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients, such as iron. The tannin component of coffee combines with iron, preventing iron from being absorbed into the body and preventing the absorption of vitamins and minerals into the body. It is better to eat 1-2 hours after a meal when digestion is sufficient.
