After each meal, you need to remember some rules so that the food is digested properly and there are no health problems.
Gastroenterologist Natalia Slyunyaeva spoke about this in more detail, writes aif.ru.
It happens that after a heavy lunch you want to lie down or even sleep.
This is usually due to blood flowing away from the brain to the stomach.
But you can't go to bed.
After all, the digestion process begins immediately after eating, and this requires energy. If a person goes to bed, the body will not be able to properly digest everything that was eaten.
You also can't start doing sports right away.
Activity will cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Muscle spasms are possible.
For some people, smoking a cigarette after a meal is considered a natural ritual.
But nicotine only complicates digestion, increases the level of acidity in the stomach and provokes heartburn.
In addition, as Slyunyaeva noted, you should not wear tight clothes after a heavy lunch or breakfast. The fact is that the stomach will tighten, which means that gastric juice will begin to be produced more actively. As a result, acid can get into the esophagus and problems with swallowing will arise.
