8 things that shorten a man’s life after a meal

　　1. Eat fruit immediately after meals

　　Phenomenon: Many people like to eat some fruit after meals, thinking that this way can supplement the carbohydrates and trace elements needed by the human body, and can also relieve greasiness. In fact, this is a wrong lifestyle habit.

　　Result: Over time, it will cause abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipate and other symptoms.

　　Reason: After food enters the stomach, it needs to be digested for 1 to 2 hours. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, it will be blocked by the previously eaten food, causing the fruit to not be digested normally.

　　Solution: Fruit is best eaten between meals

　　Eating fruits after meals is not a big problem for normal people except for increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It should be noted that in addition to vitamins and other nutrients, fruits also contain more dietary fiber. Dietary fiber affects the digestion and absorption of some nutrients, such as trace elements. Therefore, it is best to eat fruits between meals. For those with elevated blood sugar, it is especially not recommended to eat fruits immediately after meals.

　　2. Drink strong tea after meals

　　Phenomenon: Chinese people love to drink tea, and drinking tea with meals seems to be a complete service. However, drinking strong tea before or after a meal is a very bad behavior!

　　Result: Indigestion, iron deficiency anemia。

　　Reason: Drinking tea after a meal will dilute gastric juice, affect the digestion of food, and affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients. For example, tea contains theophylline, which can interfere with the absorption of protein and trace elements. Especially when trace elements such as calcium, zinc, iron, etc. exist with theophylline at the same time, the absorption rate decreases significantly. Tea contains a lot of tannic acid. Drinking tea after a meal will combine the undigested protein in the stomach with the tannic acid to form a precipitate that is not easy to digest, affecting the absorption of protein. In addition, tea can also hinder the absorption of iron, which can even cause iron deficiency anemia in the long term.

　　Solution: know how to eat, but also know how to match.

　　Meals should be accompanied by soup and water. This helps dissolve nutrients in food and facilitates digestion and absorption in the small intestine. If you do not replenish water before or during meals, the large secretion of digestive juices after meals will cause body fluid loss, which will inevitably cause thirst. Drinking water at this time will dilute gastric juices and affect digestion.

　　When drinking tea after meals, you should change strong tea to light tea. Don't expect strong tea to reduce sleepiness, which will affect the absorption of nutrients.

　　In addition, drinking water on an empty stomach before meals means that you should drink a certain amount of water about one hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because the digestion of food is completed by the digestive juices of the digestive organs. The total amount of digestive juice secreted every day is about 8000 ml. After drinking water before meals, the water only stays in the stomach for 2 or 3 minutes and then quickly enters the small intestine. After being absorbed into the blood, it can replenish the water needs of cells throughout the body in about an hour. Drinking water one hour before meals can ensure the secretion of sufficient digestive juices, which can help digestion and absorption without affecting the physiological water content in tissue cells. At the same time, it is better to drink water on an empty stomach before breakfast. Because after a night's sleep, the body loses more water and the blood is more concentrated. Drinking a glass of water after getting up can replenish water, reduce blood viscosity, and restore blood vessel dilation. It is advisable to drink warm water on an empty stomach, or light drinks such as juice, light tea, vegetable juice, etc. milk, soy milk, egg It should not be eaten on an empty stomach, but should be eaten with or after a meal.

　　3. Smoking after meals

　　Phenomenon: "A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god" is a famous saying of smokers.

　　Result: Damage to the liver, brain and heart blood vessels.

　　Reason: Research results show that gastrointestinal motility increases after meals, blood circulation accelerates, and the ability to absorb smoke is strongest. If you smoke a cigarette at this time, the harmful substances in the cigarette will enter the blood more easily than usual, and the poisoning amount will be greater than the sum of 10 cigarettes you usually smoke.

　　Solution: It is best to quit. If you really can’t quit, then take a look at the following methods.

　　1. Smoke contains radiation agents that are harmful to bronchial tubes and lung tissue. Tea has anti-radiation properties. Smokers are advised to drink tea while smoking to benefit from anti-radiation effects. healthy。

　　2. Vitamin C plays a great role in eliminating nicotine in the human body, improving cell resistance, and maintaining blood vessel elasticity. Foods rich in vitamin C include tangerines, oranges, lemons, prickly pears, fresh dates, tomato , peppers, cabbage, rape, cauliflower, bitter gourd, carrots, white radish, etc. Therefore, smokers should also be lovers of fruits and vegetables.

　　3. Vitamin B2 can decompose the harmful benzopyrene in tar, and cellulose can excrete the decomposed products from the body. Therefore, smokers should also eat more foods rich in vitamin B2, such as animal liver, eggs, dairy, mushrooms, peanuts, lean meat, yeast, wheat, spinach, etc., as well as leeks, spinach, cabbage and other high-fiber vegetables and fruits.

　　4. Iron and vitamin B12 can interact to relieve oxygen transport obstacles, so smokers can appropriately supplement iron-rich foods, such as animal liver, meat, egg yolks, kelp, beans, and foods rich in vitamin B12, such as milk, eggs, fish, clams, and beer.

　　5. Smoking may also cause cardiovascular disease. Drinking persimmon leaf tea regularly and eating more fish and roe can prevent arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease。

　　4. Take a shower after meals

　　Phenomenon: Some people like to take a bath after a good meal, thinking that taking a bath after a meal can promote blood circulation and contribute to physical health. Some people sweat profusely after eating and like to wash themselves off after eating. There are also people who hate the smell of cooking fumes in restaurants. However, taking a bath immediately after a meal has a serious impact on the body.

　　Result: weakened gastrointestinal digestive function

　　Reason: Taking a bath after a meal will increase the blood flow on the body surface and decrease the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract accordingly, thus weakening the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion.

　　Solution: I love taking baths, so choose the right time.

　　Scientifically speaking, do not wash when you are hungry before a meal, as this can easily cause hypoxia and temporary anemia. It is not good to wash immediately after a meal. It is best to wash one hour or more after a meal. Taking a bath before going to bed will eliminate the fatigue of the day and help you fall asleep easily.

　　5. Take a walk immediately after a meal

　　Phenomenon: There are two old sayings in China. One is "If you take a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine." The other is "If you want to live ninety-nine, don't walk after a meal." Which of these two statements is more reliable?

　　The result: indigestion.

　　Reason: For some people, if they take a "hundred-step walk" after a meal, they will not only be unable to live to "ninety-nine", but the increased amount of exercise will also affect the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract.

　　Solution: Treat different people differently.

　　A hundred-step walk after a meal is suitable for people who usually have less activity, work at their desks for a long time, are fat, or have excessive gastric acid secretion.；

　　Do not walk after meals, mainly refers to poor physical fitness, frailty, especially those suffering from gastroptosis, etc. disease People who are pregnant should not only not take a walk after meals, but should also lie down for 10 minutes.

　　Improper physical exercise can also harm the stomach and gallbladder. For example, during strenuous exercise, blood throughout the body is redistributed, gastrointestinal motility is weakened, the secretion of various digestive juices is greatly reduced, and the digestive system is in a state of suppression.； Eating immediately or consuming large amounts of frozen drinks without proper rest after exercise can easily cause indigestion, stomach ache , diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal diseases and gallbladder diseases.

　　6. Loosen your belt after meals

　　Phenomenon: Many people feel full after eating too much, and often loosen their belt buckles, thinking that this can make their stomachs feel more comfortable and reduce the "work pressure" of their stomachs. What is actually true? This will upset your stomach!

　　The result: gastroptosis.

　　Reason: Eating too much and loosening the belt buckle will cause a drop in intra-abdominal pressure and force the stomach to ptosis. If things go on like this, you will suffer from gastroptosis.

　　Solution: Walk slowly when you are full.

　　Overeating is because the food eaten exceeds the capacity of the stomach itself, making things indigestible in a short period of time and destroying the normal movement patterns of the stomach. Frequent overeating will cause symptoms such as bloating, nausea, and even vomiting, which may lead to gastritis, functional indigestion and other diseases. However, if overeating occurs occasionally, there is still a method to relieve discomfort. So what should you do once you’re full?

　　After people eat too much and are full, they will have four kinds of actions: lying down, walking slowly, sitting, and lying down.

　　Expert advice: After overeating, the stomach is in a state of expansion, the movement of the stomach is relatively slow, and the stomach is not easily emptied. Sitting quietly at this time will not help gastric emptying. Moreover, after sitting quietly, the human body is in a flexed state and the gastric diaphragm is relatively straight, which may lead to gastroesophageal reflux.

　　If you lie down immediately after eating too much, the harm may be greater than sitting still. Because after overeating, the pressure in the stomach is relatively high. If you lie down immediately, it may cause gastroesophageal reflux, or even vomiting in severe cases, so lying still is not a good choice.

　　Lying down - it will further increase the pressure in the stomach and compress the stomach. Therefore, it is not good to lie down when your stomach feels bloated after eating and drinking.

　　Slow walking - It can help the movement of the stomach and allow the stomach to empty as quickly as possible, so slow walking is a more appropriate choice. Walking slowly after eating can promote peristalsis of the periphery and help empty the stomach of food as quickly as possible. However, strenuous exercise is not allowed, otherwise the full stomach will stretch and aggravate the discomfort.

　　7. Sing karaoke after dinner

　　Phenomenon: In recent years, many KTVs have launched buffet services. It is so comfortable to sing and eat at the same time, but do you know? Singing after eating is very harmful to the body!

　　Result: Indigestion, gastrointestinal discomfort.

　　Reason: There is a popular saying among the people: "When you are full, you can sing when you are hungry," and this sentence is correct. After eating a full meal, a person's stomach capacity increases, the stomach wall becomes thinner, and blood flow increases. At this time, singing will cause the diaphragm to move downward and increase abdominal pressure, which can cause indigestion in mild cases and gastrointestinal discomfort in severe cases.

　　Solution: It is recommended to go to karaoke 1 hour after a meal.

　　Experts say that people who play musical instruments can only play confidently after eating a full meal, but when singing, it is important to release the energy from the Dantian. If you eat too much, your voice will not be loud and it will affect your health. “If you continue to sing, your vocal cord mucosa will become congested and edematous. ”Li Ying said that this can lead to blood vessel rupture and bleeding, acute vocal cord inflammation, hoarseness, sore throat when speaking, and even symptoms such as throat congestion, difficulty breathing, and decreased lung function. In severe cases, vocal cord nodules, vocal cord polyps, etc. may occur.

　　In addition, when singing, many people use their voices improperly or even abuse their voices in order to show their "strength". When they encounter high notes, they "roar" loudly. This can easily damage the vocal cords and the motor muscles that control the vocal cords, causing hoarseness.

　　It is recommended to go to karaoke 1 hour after a meal. At this time, the food in the stomach is basically digested and the congested throat has rested. It is the best time to sing. It’s best to “warm up” before singing. Choose some easy-to-sing songs first, stop after singing two songs, and let your vocal cords take a nap. During karaoke, you should pay attention to protecting your voice, master your vocal skills, and avoid excessive use of your voice. When you are tired, sing in turns with others, rest intermittently, and avoid staying in the KTV room for a long time. An unventilated environment can easily cause headaches, dizziness, and other discomforts.

　　Experts suggest that you should pay attention to hydrating at all times during karaoke. In addition to boiled water, you can also drink chrysanthemum tea, honey water and other beverages. It will not be too bland, but can also clear away heat and relieve fire, and protect your throat. It is also good to eat some pears, bananas, watermelon and other fruits to soothe your throat. Remember not to drink cold drinks or beer immediately after singing, as this will be bad for your throat. If you only have these two kinds, you should hold them in your mouth for a while to avoid over-stimulation of cold drinks.

　　Women should not sing karaoke during menstruation. Due to changes in sex hormone levels in the body, vocal cord capillaries are congested, showing mild edema, and the blood vessel walls are more fragile than usual. In severe cases, the entire vocal cords may be thickened, relaxed, and congested. At this time, if you sing too much, speak loudly, or exercise too much in the pharynx, the vocal cords will be overtired, the capillaries will rupture, causing vocal cord bleeding and hoarseness. If excessive damage is caused, it will be difficult to repair.

　　8. Driving after a meal

　　Phenomenon: Many people know that you should not drive after drinking, but did you know that you should not drive after eating?

　　Result: car accident. . .

　　Reason: Driving immediately after a meal may cause a car accident. This is because:

　　1. If you eat too much and your stomach is full, it will press against the steering wheel. In this way, it will be more difficult to turn. If you need to make an emergency turn, the steering wheel will not turn, and the car will hit you straight.

　　2. When you are full and warm, you will think about lust. After eating, if you look at a beautiful woman on the street, you will be tempted to have your own thoughts or take a few more glances. In this way, you will not pay attention to the road, so you are prone to car accidents. I once didn't notice the car in front of me braking because I wanted to look at a beautiful woman more. Fortunately, I noticed it in time and applied the brake quickly, so I didn't cause a car accident.

　　3. The digestion of food by the gastrointestinal tract after a meal requires a large amount of blood, causing temporary ischemia in the brain, leading to operational errors and car accidents.

　　Solution: It is safer to drive an hour after a meal.
