Here are the five things you should never do after you eat. Stay safe and be healthy

1.Sleep:

Going to sleep right after you eat causing your stomach to burn through the night, which causes discomfort, bloating, and odd sleeping patterns. A study at the university of loannina Medical school found that people who waited the longest after eating to go to bed were less likely to have a stroke. With this in mind, The rule of thumb is  to eat at least a few hours before bed.



 2.Smoke:

Unfortunately for some people, Smoking is still a thing. While its probably one of the most damaging things you can do to your lungs, if you are going to do it, atleast wait a couple of hours after eating. This is because the nicotine in cigarettes binds to the excess oxygen that is necessary in digestion, which then allows your body to absorbs more carcinogens than normal According to studies, smoking right after a meal is the same as smoking ten cigarettes at once. It is also increases the risk of bowel and lung cancer.



3.Shower:

When we shower, our body increases blood flow to your hands legs and body. which then decreases the amount of blood flow to your stomach. This weakens the digestive system causing it to become inefficient, which can cause stomach pain.



 4.Eating Fruits:

you probably thought you could eat fruits at any time didn't you ? Well, its actually best to eat fruit an empty stomach this is becuase fruits requrie different enzymes to digest and the simple sugars in fruit need time to be absorbed completely by the body with nothing else in your belly you benefit from all the nutrients fiber and simple sugars. if you wait until close to you after a meal however fruit remains in the stomach for an exrended period and rots in the gut. this can cause digestion, heartburn, burping and other discomforts.



 5.Drinking Tea:

Drinking right after a meal interferes with iron absorption The tannic acid in the tea binds with protein and iron in our food, preventing our bodies from reaping the benfits of digestive system.  This results in an 87% decrease in iron absorption. low iron can trigger anemia, a deficiency of red blood cells in the blood which then causes extreme fatigue, weakness, pale skin, chest pain dizziness, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and poor appetite.



Next time you eat, Make a mental note of the time and be sure to leave some space in between lying down eating fruit drinking tea or showering Just Stop Smoking.
