Generally speaking, if you don’t have any obvious diseases, but you are in one or several of the following states for a long time, pay attention that sub-health has alerted you: insomnia, fatigue, anorexia, fatigue, palpitation, poor resistance, irritability, frequent colds or oral ulcers, constipation, etc.
What do you usually do after dinner? Do you smoke, eat fruit, drink tea, take a bath or loosen your pants, sing, take a walk and sleep? If you have one or more of the above habits after dinner, you should be vigilant. These details of life are killing your health!
Gastroenterologists remind people that with the gradual improvement of people’s living standards, people’s awareness of health care has also been enhanced. Many people think that eating fruit after meals is the best match for modern life. Whether eating in restaurants, restaurants or at home, many people like to eat fruit after meals. In fact, this is a wrong habit, because eating fruit immediately after meals will affect the digestive function.
The doctor explained that after food enters people’s stomachs, it must go through a digestion process of one to two hours before it can be slowly discharged. If people eat fruit immediately after meals, they will be blocked in the stomach by the food that arrived earlier, so that the fruit can not be normally digested in the stomach, and the time in the stomach is too long, resulting in abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation. If people adhere to this lifestyle for a long time, it will lead to digestive dysfunction. Therefore, people had better eat fruit 1-2 hours after meals.
The doctor also reminded that people should also pay attention to correcting the wrong habits of drinking tea and walking after meals.
To prevent sub-health, we need to quit eating habits:
◎ eating fruit after meals: many people like to eat some fruit after meals, which they think is conducive to clearing their mouths. In fact, this is a wrong lifestyle. Eating fruit immediately after dinner will affect the digestive function. Because when food enters the stomach, it takes 1-2 hours to digest before it can be slowly eliminated. If you eat fruit immediately after dinner, the fruit will be blocked by the food you ate before and cannot be digested normally.
◎ drinking strong tea after meals: tea contains a lot of tannic acid. Drinking strong tea after meals will combine the undigested protein that you just ate with tannic acid to form a precipitate, affecting the absorption of protein; The substances in tea can also hinder the absorption of iron, and the bad habit of drinking strong tea after meals can easily lead to iron deficiency anemia; In addition, drinking tea immediately after dinner will dilute the digestive juice secreted by the stomach, which will affect the digestion of food by the stomach.
◎ smoking after dinner: some people think, “a cigarette after dinner is better than a living immortal.” In fact, this practice is extremely harmful to human body. Because the human intestines and stomach move very frequently after meals, the blood circulation also accelerates, and the digestive system starts a comprehensive movement. If you smoke at this time, the absorption of smoke by lungs and whole body tissues will be greatly strengthened, resulting in a large amount of harmful components in smoke being absorbed, which has a strong stimulating effect on the respiratory and digestive tracts, and will undoubtedly bring much greater harm to human functions and tissues than normal smoking.
◎ drinking water after meals: drinking water immediately after meals will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food in the stomach enters the small intestine before it can be digested, weakening the digestive ability of the gastric juice and easily causing gastrointestinal diseases. If you drink soft drinks after meals, it is even more inappropriate for your body. The carbon dioxide produced by soft drinks is easy to increase the internal pressure of the stomach, resulting in acute gastric dilatation.
◎ driving after meals: after meals, due to the need of digestion, most of the blood is concentrated in the stomach, and the brain is in a state of temporary ischemia. At this time, driving can easily lead to operational errors and accidents. Therefore, it is safer to drive an hour after dinner.
◎ singing karaoke after meals: just after eating, the gastric volume increases and the blood flow increases. At this time, singing will move the diaphragm downward and increase the abdominal pressure, which may cause indigestion, or even gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms. Therefore, it is best to sing karaoke about 1 hour after dinner, after the food is normally digested, or simply sing first and then eat.
