7 Worst Habits You Should Avoid After Eating

One of the most difficult thing for everyone is changing a habit. If you want to improve your health and keep your body slim try following this list that experts have made including seven things you should never do after having a meal.

1. Fruit after having a meal
Your body is able to digest fruit very quickly and if you consume fruit  immediately after your meal the fruit remains in the stomach for a long time and causes decay, releases gases and toxins, which, except this, can encourage formation of cellulite. So eat fruit when your stomach is empty or two hours before or after having a meal.


2. Sleeping after eating
This is another old myth proved to be true. When we sleep all body functions are “sleeping” together with our brain and it is not recommended to fall asleep after eating. Lying position is also not recommended and is not good for the digestion and gastric juices, so they are unable to do their job. This habit can lead to stomach problems.


3. Lying
After eating, people often feel sleepy and lazy. This is explained that at that time, the amount of blood largely focuses on gastrointestinal system and the amount of blood in the brain decreases significantly. It’s the reason that the brain and other organs are "sleepy".



4. Cigarette after having a meal
Experts warn that this habit is more harmful than it seemed, because only one cigarette after a meal has the effect as if you have smoked 10 cigarettes. Our digestive system works through the entire body and nicotine binds to the blood oxygen.

5. Swimming after having a meal
In this case, our grandmothers and mothers are totally right, but experts also warned that is not recommended to take a shower right after eating. Water improves blood flow throughout the body, but after eating our blood goes to the stomach where digestion takes place. When we have a shower our body experiences sudden changes in temperature, so blood is needed in the whole body.


6.  Drinking tea
If you like drinking a hot cup of tea after the meal, you can wait 30 minutes to do this. Because the tannin in the tea will combine with protein, vitamin B1 and iron in foods to create the difficulty absorbed compounds. Besides, the theocin and the tannin found in the tea inhibit the secretion of gastric juice and intestinal juice, which is not good for the digestion.

7. Reading books
In the time period of 1-3 hours,the blood must be poured in the digestive organ to process foods. If you read books at this time, the blood will be mobilized to the eyes, reducing the function of the stomach. On the other hand, if the amount of the blood that is focused to the eyes is not enough, you can get eye diseases.
