6 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AFTER EATING
1. DON’T LIE DOWN IMMEDIATELY: Lying down right after eating can cause acid reflux or heartburn. Wait at least 2–3 hours before lying down or going to bed.
2. DON’T DRINK TEA OR COFFEE: Tea and coffee contain compounds that interfere with iron absorption, which can lead to fatigue over time.
3. DON’T TAKE A SHOWER: Bathing right after a meal can divert blood flow away from your stomach, slowing digestion.
4. DON’T EXERCISE IMMEDIATELY: Working out after eating can cause stomach cramps or indigestion. Wait at least 1 hour before engaging in any intense physical activity.
5. DON’T SMOKE: Smoking right after eating increases the absorption of harmful chemicals, worsening its effects on your lungs and digestive system.
6. DON’T SLEEP: Sleeping right after eating can cause bloating, indigestion, and weight gain. Stay upright for a while to help your food digest properly.
