People usually lie down or sit comfortably in a chair after having dinner, but this is a big mistake you should never make. According to experts, these habits are highly dangerous and can put your health at risk. In this video I’m about to share with you 6 things you should never do after eating


1.Smoking
Smoking is bad enough, but after a meal, it’s ten times the killer. Yep, that’s right! smoking right after a meal is very bad and if you must do it, you should wait for at least a couple of hours after the meal. Cigarette contain nicotine, a substance that binds to oxygen your body desperately needs for digestion, which makes your body absorb carcinogens. According to several studies, smoking a cigarette after a meal has the same effect as smoking 10 cigarettes at once, and increases your risk of bowel and lung cancer significantly as well.

2.Never go to bed after a meal
Lying down for a nap or sleeping after a meal is the favorite thing of millions of people, but this habit is not healthy at all. When we lie down some digestive juices from your stomach flow back to the esophagus because of gravitational force, due to its acidic nature it can burn the inner layer of the esophagus causing acid reflux.

3.Never rush to shower after a meal
Waiting 30 minutes after a meal in order to take a shower is the best suggestion one could give on this topic. Digestion needs a lot of energy and blood flow in our body. But when we take a warm water shower, blood flows towards your skin to release off the heat, thus making it difficult to digest.

4.Drinking tea
Teas are healthy, but shouldn’t be consumed after a meal. Drinking tea after having a meal can interfere with the iron absorption in your body as tea contains tannic acid which binds to the iron and protein from our food. This can result in 87% decrease in iron absorption and even iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia, dizziness, weakness and fatigue
5.Eat your fruits before not after a meal
Fruits are recommended by almost everyone, be it some expert dietician, or just some inexperienced house-wife. But few of them know that fruits just after any meal can be harmful, and thus neglect to mention it to you. Fruits are the easiest to digest, and just take 20 minutes to travel from your stomach to intestines, where they are finally digested (bananas and dates being the two exceptions). So when you eat a fruit after a meal, it gets stuck with the food, thus not travelling in time to the intestines, and getting spoiled as a result, thus spoiling food too.

6.Avoid cold water after a meal
The reason is very simple . Ice water does not let the food digest properly because it causes clumping of food. Hot warm water helps absorbs nutrients better.

Stomach aches are usually symptoms of temporary, largely harmless conditions such as cramps, indigestion, or motion sickness. Despite this innocuous nature, though, stomach-aches can become a distracting, often sharp discomfort which can bog you down and keep you from some of your favorite activities. Fortunately, there are many ways you can treat abdominal-pain, including basic exercises, drinking homemade-tonics, and making dietary changes.

1.Visit the bathroom. Often people who experience nausea or generalized abdominal pain are simply in need of a bowel-movement. Before you try anything else, then, try sitting on the toilet for a few minutes while leaning forward with your knees drawn up to your chest. This position naturally encourages bowel-movement without undue-stress.

2.Apply a warm compress to your stomach. Warming your stomach area can help to relax your muscles and reduce any tightness or cramps. Use a hot-water bottle, microwaveable compress, or electric heating-blanket and place it over your stomach for several-minutes.

3.Take a hot bath. Immersing yourself in warm-water will increase your circulation and relax your muscles. This can mitigate abdominal-pain and also help to relieve any stress you’re experiencing. Stay in the bath for 15-20 minutes at least and add one or two cups of Epsom-salt to help draw out inflammation.

4.Ingest prunes or other high-fiber foods. A common cause of stomach-ache is constipation: your body needs to move its bowels, but something is blocking or impeding this movement. You can ease constipation by eating or drinking fiber-rich items such as prunes, bran, or broccoli. Prunes are particularly powerful as they contain the natural laxative sorbitol, as well as packing a mean, fiber-full punch

5.Drink peppermint, chamomile, or ginger tea. Studies have shown that these three herbs can help mitigate nausea and general abdominal discomfort. Ginger regulates digestion, while mint and chamomile can be particularly soothing to cramped muscles.

6.Mix up a solution of baking-soda and water. Most over-the-counter antacids contain baking-soda as their primary ingredient, so next-time skip the store and make your own antacid at home. Simply dissolve a tablespoon into a glass of warm-water and drink the solution slowly.
• Repeat this process every few hours until your indigestion or nausea subside.


7.Drink apple-cider vinegar. Unlike regular white vinegar, apple-cider-vinegar alleviates nausea by absorbing unwanted nutrients in your stomach. Mix two to three tablespoons of it into a glass of lukewarm water. If the taste doesn’t put you off too much, you can sip on a glass every few-hours until your nausea goes away


8.Drink after your meal. Waiting until an hour after mealtime to drink a beverage can help ease indigestion. While it may seem counterintuitive, chugging water with your meals can dilute the digestive-acids in your stomach and make them less-effective.

9.Add a probiotic to your diet. Probiotics are good bacteria that grow in your stomach and aid-digestion. Studies have shown that taking probiotics can improve certain chronic digestive problems such as irritable-bowel-syndrome and infections diarrhea. Eating yogurt and other cultured-milk products on a daily basis can boost your probiotic levels.
