10 ACTIVITIES TO AVOID AFTER A MEAL

Heavy Exercise

Strenuous exercise can divert blood flow away from the digestive system, leading to indigestion.

Sleeping

Lying down immediately after eating can cause acid reflux. Wait at least 2-3 hours before lying down.

Smoking

Smoking can increase the risk of indigestion and heartburn. It is best to avoid smoking after meals.

Drinking Cold Water

Cold beverages can slow down digestion. Opt for room temperature or warm water for better digestion.

Taking a Shower

A hot shower immediately after eating can divert blood away from your stomach and slow digestion.

Consuming Alcohol

Alcohol can irritate the stomach lining and hinder digestion, if consumed after a heavy meal.

Consuming Fruits

While fruits are healthy, eating them immediately after a meal can cause bloating for some people.

Drinking Tea

Tea contains tannins, that can interfere with iron absorption. Avoid drinking tea right after a meal, especially if you have iron-deficiency.

Chewing Gum

Chewing gum can lead to swallowing air, which can cause bloating and gas.

Stressful Activities

Stress can affect digestion. Try to avoid stressful activities immediately after eating.
