Don't do three things an hour after a meal

First: eat fruit immediately after meals - harm: because after food enters the stomach, it takes about 2 hours to digest. If it is high in protein or fat, the digestion time will be longer, as long as 6 or 7 hours. If you eat fruit immediately after meals, it will be blocked by food, causing the fruit to be unable to digest normally. If you stay in the stomach for a long time, the fruit will ferment, causing abdominal distension and diarrhea And constipation and other symptoms, may also lead to digestive disorders. Correct practice: it is best to eat fruit 1 ~ 2 hours after a meal. In addition, fruit is best eaten before meals, because fruit belongs to low calorie food, it is easier to grasp the total intake of low calorie food. Moreover, many fruits are easy to be oxidized and rotten. Eating fruits first can shorten the stay time in the stomach, reduce the degree of oxidation and corruption, and reduce the adverse effects on the body.

Second: smoking immediately after meals - harm: gastrointestinal peristalsis increases quickly after meals, blood circulation speeds up, and the ability to absorb smoke is the strongest. At this time, when smoking a cigarette, the harmful substances in the cigarette are easier to enter the blood than usual, and the toxic amount is greater than the sum of 10 cigarettes, which will damage the liver, brain and heart vessels. Correct approach: not after meals can not smoke, but at any time can not smoke, attention, smoking is harmful to health. If you can't quit smoking, you'd better drink some tea, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat more fish, bean products and so on to alleviate the harm caused by smoking toxins.

Third: drink strong tea after meals - harm: tea contains theophylline, which can interfere with the absorption of protein and trace elements, dilute gastric juice, and affect the digestion and absorption of food and nutrients. In addition, tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which will make the protein in the stomach not digested combine with tannic acid to form a non digestible sediment, affecting the absorption of protein. In addition, tea will hinder the absorption of iron, which may lead to iron deficiency anemia in the long run. Correct approach: should change strong tea to light tea, do not expect strong tea can reduce sleepiness, which will affect the absorption of nutrition, and should be an hour after a meal.
