Unhealthy Things To Avoid Doing After A Meal

Smoking

Smoking a cigarette right after your meal is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes which thus increases the risk of lung, throat and stomach cancer.

Bathing

Experts suggest not to bathe after a meal. Taking a shower when the stomach is full, weakens the digestive system and interferes with the digestion process making you feel sick.

Dancing

Dancing after a meal is unhealthy as this extreme form of exercise or activity will make it tough to absorb the nutrients in the intestine.

Brisk Walking

Exercising or brisk walking after a meal is another thing to avoid. Brisk walking directly after a meal interferes with the food absorption which results to giddiness and a nauseous feeling.

Fruits

Never eat fruits after a heavy main course meal. Fruits should be consumed before a meal as the body can benefit from its many nutrients and proteins.

Drinking Cold Water

It is unhealthy to drink cold water after a meal. Cold water doesn't allow proper digestion unlike hot water which aids in better digestion and good absorption of nutrients.

Taking A Nap

After a heavy meal, taking a nap or sleeping is dangerous. It is dangerous because when we lie down, the digestive juices flow back from the stomach and into the esophagus. Due to this gravitational force, the juice burns the inner layer of the esophagus causing acidity problems.
