The food taken should digest otherwise we will not be able to take any more food. For the digestive system to work, after food we should not do certain things. I have given them below some of them, there could be more to the list, but only few are added here.
Before you follow these guidelines, please talk to your doctor or diatecian and get his inputs!
1. Don't Smoke
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
2. Don't Eat Fruits Immediately
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
3. Don't Drink Tea
Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4. Don't Loosen Your Belt
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
5. Don't Bathe
Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6. Don't Walk or Run
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7. Don't Exercise
Do not do any exercise as it would take lot of blood to other parts of the body. You can do vajrasana which would help in faster digestion.(see image for vajrasana posture, taken from web)
8. Don't Sleep Immediately
The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
9. Don't Speak Louder or Fight
Do not enter into an argument or speak louder like doing presentation. Take some time, about 15 minutes and then do it.
