There're 5 Big NO NO I tell my clients every time after the meal~~
1) Don't sleep immediately
- " I can sleep better when I am full"...Sound familiar??? lol...my bf used to say that=) The food we take will not be able to digest properly when we are lying down. Thus this will lead to gastric and infection in our intestine. Girlss out there, if you want a flat tummy, sleep immediately after a meal is a BIG NO NO!!!
2) Don't eat fruits immediately
- So, fruit after meal or before meal??? A lot of clients ask about this qs...Well, it is good to eat fruit after meal because fruits are rich in dietary fiber which helps the movement of food in small intestine. However, if you consume fruit right after your meal, this will cause stomach to be bloated with air. In addition, you are actually adding more burden to your stomach to digest more food. Therefore, in my opinion, the best time to take fruit is 1hours before meal (* papaya is the best food before meal, it aids in digestion) or 1-2 hours after meal.
3) Don't drink tea
- Why??Isn't it good to drink tea because it helps to remove all those oily stuff from the food we consume?
Oh my dear, it is wrong!! Tea leaves contain a high amount of acid that will cause the protein content in the food that we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4)Don't walk about
- People always say that a hundred steps after a meal will make you live till 99. In fact, this is not true. Nutrients of food is hard to absorb by our digestive system if we walk around after meal. So, take a 10-15mins rest after a meal before you walk around.
5)Don't bathe
- Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to our hands, legs and body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach. So, take your shower before meal!!!
