7 Dont’s After a Meal

For good health, after meal, don’t do these things.

1. Don’t smoke
   Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes, chances of cancer is higher (Ouch!).
2. Don’t eat fruits immediately
   Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore, take fruits 1-2 hrs after meal or 1 hr before meal.
3. Don’t drink tea
   Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consumed to be hardened, thus difficult to digest.
4. Don’t loosen your belt
   Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestines to be twisted & blocked.
5. Don’t bathe
   Bathing 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.
6. Don’t walk about
   People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact, this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we ate. After dinner, anyhow you can walk a bit.
7. Don’t sleep immediately
   The food we ate will not be digested properly. Thus will lead to gastric disease & infections.
