There are some bad habits that become exponentially worse when done immediately after eating, while there are actually good habits which may cause adverse results when done after lunch or dinner.
Here's a list of things you need to stop doing immediately after a meal:
#1: Smoking
We are all aware that smoking is one of the bad vices and is extremely harmful to our health, but most of the people still continue do this terrible habit even right after they are done eating their meal.
It very necessary to wait for a few hours after eating your meal before smoking a cigarette due to the fact that cigarettes contains nicotine which can bind to the excess oxygen that is essential for digestion, this allows your body to absorb more carcinogens than the usual.
Studies have shown that smoking right after a meal is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes at once. In addition, this will actually boost your risk of having lung and bowel cancer.
#2: Sleeping
If you are about to go to bed just right after eating a meal, you will be experiencing discomfort, bloating and other sleeping patterns which can cause your stomach to burn during the night.
The University of Loannina Medical School has conducted a research study which proved that people who waited for a longer period of time before going to bed after a meal are those who have less risk of experiencing a stroke. Therefore, you have to make sure not to eat at least a few hours before going to bed.
#3: Walking
Don’t go for walks immediately after a meal. Or go if you really want to, but then you’ll have some serious acid re-flux and indigestion; if that’s what you want. You can go for a walk after a meal, sure, but after at least 10 minutes please. Then it is perfectly healthy.
#4: Taking a Shower
Taking a shower just right after having a meal can increase the blood flow in both of your legs and hands that will decrease the blood flow in your stomach. This will make your digestive system weak and might lead to stomach pain.
