In our daily life, sometimes some small habits after meals may be some bad habits, and bad eating habits can easily affect our health. The following taboos should be avoided. Next, I will bring you four taboos after meals in daily life.
Four taboos in daily life after meals 1 First, drink tea immediately after meals.
Many people will have a cup of tea after dinner, especially when visiting relatives and friends. Drinking a cup of tea after a meal is a common thing, but it is really a bad habit. Although drinking tea can promote our digestion and absorption of meat, according to scientific findings, tea contains a substance called tannin, which can make protein difficult to digest and hinder our absorption of protein in the body. After a long time, people will be malnourished. Therefore, it is suggested that people who drink tea after meals drink water or gargle with tea, which can also promote dental health.
Second, drink cold drinks immediately after meals.
It is very unscientific to eat cold drinks immediately after meals. Perhaps many people know that eating cold drinks after meals will cause irritation to the stomach and easily lead to diarrhea. Eating cold drinks for a long time will destroy our stomach and cause chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
Third, smoke immediately after meals.
Smokers are familiar with the phrase "a cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy", but who knows that smoking after a meal is usually more harmful. It is found that smoking one cigarette after a meal is equivalent to ten cigarettes at ordinary times. After eating, people's gastrointestinal peristalsis will be faster and blood circulation will be accelerated. At this time, the harmful substances that are heavily smoked are more easily absorbed, and the harm is quite serious. People who want to smoke will always remember that smoking is harmful to health and cherish their health.
Fourth, go to bed immediately after meals.
After meals, the blood volume of digestive organs will increase, which means that the blood supply to our brain will be insufficient, and people with insufficient blood supply to our brain will be quite tired and sleepy. But this is because if we sleep immediately, gastrointestinal peristalsis will slow down, food will not be easily digested, leading to indigestion. If food is left in the stomach, it will excite the brain and make people feel sleepy. Even if they are asleep, they will dream and talk in their sleep. Don't go to bed immediately after dinner, you can go to bed later.
Four taboos after meals in daily life 2 What eating habits are good for health?
First, eat standing up.
Eating standing up is the healthiest. People in China attach great importance to reunion. They are used to eating dinner around the table for an hour or two. However, according to the current scientific investigation, sitting and eating is not necessarily the healthiest. After studying the dining posture, medical scientists found that standing posture is the most scientific, followed by sitting posture. But because sitting is more comfortable, most people will choose to sit and eat.
Standing posture is the most scientific dining posture for people with insufficient gastric motility or patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Because eating standing is not only beneficial to swallowing and digestion, but also can reduce abdominal pressure and relieve heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. In addition, standing up to eat is more likely to feel full, and it is not easy to eat. For people who want to keep fit, it is a good way to control their food intake.
Second, food can be said.
Talking can stimulate appetite. There is a saying in China's traditional habit that "food is not easy to live", and it is believed that joking while eating will affect the digestion and absorption of food. In fact, it is appropriate to have a lunch for 30 minutes. Talking while eating can not only exchange feelings, relieve troubles, but also help the stomach digest food normally.
The principle is that a happy mood can not only stimulate appetite, but also excite the central nervous system, thus promoting the secretion of digestive juice in large quantities and making the gastrointestinal tract in the best digestive state. Of course, you have to be careful when chewing, especially when eating fish. If you get stuck in a fishbone, you will lose more than you gain.
Third, walking at a hundred paces after a meal varies from person to person.
Blood is mainly supplied to the digestive system after meals. At this time, if other functions are used, the digestive system will not get enough blood to operate. Walking is indeed an exercise for all ages, but after meals, food is concentrated in the stomach, where a lot of digestive juice is needed to digest food and more blood supply is needed to maintain the operation of digestive function. If you take a walk immediately after a meal, the blood must be transported to other parts of the body, the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract is relatively reduced, and the food cannot be fully digested. For the average healthy person, walking after meals may not be too uncomfortable, but for some special people, it is time to subvert the tradition.
If you have coronary heart disease, hypertension, gastroptosis, chronic esophageal diseases, etc. Take a walk before meals. Because walking after meals may lead to angina pectoris, dizziness, epigastric fullness and discomfort, tachycardia and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. At the same time, for friends who want to lose weight, walking before meals is a good choice.
