If women don’t do these nine things after dinner, they will be more beautiful in ten years

1. Don’t eat fruit immediately.

Fruits contain flavonoids, which are converted into dihydroxybenzoic acid by intestinal bacteria after ingestion. Vegetables contain thiocyanate. The combination of these two chemicals interferes with thyroid function and can lead to non-iodine goiter.

2. Don’t drink tea immediately.

Because the tannins contained in tea can combine with the protein and iron in food to produce colloids or precipitates that are not easily absorbed. If this continues for a long time, iron deficiency anemia and protein deficiency may occur.

3. Don’t smoke immediately.

Because gastric motility speeds up after meals, blood circulation increases, and capillaries dilate, which promotes the absorption of harmful substances in smoke. Smoking after meals will absorb more than ten times the harmful substances in smoke than smoking at other times. Smokers, please pay attention to your health.

4. Don’t drink more water immediately.

Drinking water immediately will increase the intragastric pressure, causing the food in the stomach to enter the small intestine without having time to digest. In addition, drinking water dilutes the gastric juice, weakening the gastric juice's digestive ability. It is also not conducive to the sterilization of gastric acid, which can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases.

5. Don’t drink soda immediately.

When soda enters the stomach, it dilutes the gastric juice, affects digestion, reduces appetite, produces carbon dioxide, increases intragastric pressure, and causes acute gastric dilatation.

6. Don’t eat sweets immediately.

Sugar is easily converted into fat, causing obesity. Sugar can also reduce the secretory function of the pancreas and promote the occurrence of diabetes.

7. Don’t do strenuous exercise immediately.

During strenuous exercise, blood flow to the limbs increases, affecting the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the secretion of gastric juice, and making food digestion difficult. At the same time, the stomach volume increases after a meal, and exercise will cause gastroptosis.

8. Don’t start reading right away.

Reading immediately after a meal will reduce the amount of blood in the gastrointestinal tract and affect the secretion of gastric juice. Over time, symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and stomach pain will occur.

9. Don’t take a shower immediately.

Because the skin capillaries expand and become congested when bathing, the blood flow to the digestive tract is relatively reduced, affecting the digestion and absorption of food.

So how long should you wait after a meal before engaging in the above activities? Food stays in the stomach for about 1 hour for carbohydrates, 2-3 hours for protein, and 5-6 hours for fat, so you should wait at least 1 hour after a meal before engaging in the above activities. But you also need to be flexible. For example, if you feel thirsty, you should drink some water after a meal. Don't just follow the rule.
