7 Donts After Meal

I was at the library this afternoon returning some books that I have borrowed. Anyway the expiry date is nearing so better return it before I get fined. Since the children are at school and the baby is with my hubby (he's not going to the office today), so I have a couple of hours to spare...alone...yeayy

Got to the returning section at the library and finished processing everyting. I was about to take my leave when this book caught my eyes. Dont know why, but seemed interesting to me. (may be boring to you...what the heck!) Grab the book and head to a corner seat.

The book itself covers many chapters on our daily eating lifestyle and diet. Looks like I have to borrow this book. Time is not on my side, so have to finish reading it at home. Before that I only manage to catch a glimpse on this;

Seven Things Not To Do After A Meal

Don't smoke

Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after a meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer are more). To those smokers, consider this ok...better still, STOP smoking NOW!

Don't eat fruits immediately

By immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take your fruit 1 to 2 hour after meal or 1hr before meal. ( We learn something new everyday, dont we)

Don't drink tea

Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest...hmm..a good excuse to just stick to coffee...

Don't loosen your belt

Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked. Instead, wear something loose or better still dont wear anything at all...harhar

Don't bathe

Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body. Thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease.This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach...and usually after bathing you will feel hungry again.

Don't walk about

People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake...and dont run, jump, jog or anything associated to it either.

Don't sleep immediately

Dont go to sleep immediately after your meal because the food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine. Furthermore, you wont be able to sleep on a full stomach...thin sensibly.

I believe we have unintentionally made one of the above of as our daily routine thingy after every meal. So, by reading the above facts, hope we can change our 'after meal habits' towards a better health...dont you agree...

Now, have to take my bathe first before eating my chilled watermelon...yum yum! Adios!!
