Is it true that it is best not to sit for a long time, not to sleep, and not to do sports after meals? If that makes sense. So, what can we do after eating? This is a very good question, many popular science have put forward the suggestion of not sitting for a long time, not sleeping, and not exercising after eating, in fact, it is not unreasonable. But about this kind of science gradually see more, will be everyone has another question, after eating so many things can not be done, then what can be done?
The first point that needs to be explained is that these 3 prohibitions in the title are basically correct cognition, why? Because if you sit or sleep for a long time after eating, it will indeed bring some health problems in the long run, such as abdominal obesity, which can easily cause high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other problems after abdominal obesity. There is also a point that lying down after eating may bring symptoms of esophageal reflux, which is very detrimental to physical health. So, sitting and sleeping after meals are harmful behaviors, so why can't exercise? The exact expression should be that it is not recommended to do strenuous exercise after eating, because strenuous exercise is likely to cause many digestive tract diseases. Dr. Zhang told his friends a real case below.
Xiao Qiang is a student who has just entered junior high school and usually likes sports. After he finished eating on this day, he went to the basketball court with his friends to play, but in the process of playing basketball, Xiao Qiang suddenly had severe pain in his stomach, he covered his stomach, and he sweated profusely in pain, and then began to have symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Seeing the situation, the friends who played basketball immediately sent him to the hospital. After the doctor's consultation, combined with his symptoms, the doctor's initial diagnosis may be "diaphragm hernia", and then the abdominal CT examination also confirmed this diagnosis, that is, the left diaphragm hernia. In fact, Xiao Qiang's disease is related to strenuous activities after meals. Therefore, we do not recommend doing strenuous exercise after meals.
Of course, strenuous exercise after a full meal will not only cause diaphragm hernia, but also may cause a series of digestive tract diseases, such as gastric perforation, stomach sagging, etc., so it is recommended that friends do not carry out strenuous physical exercise immediately after meals.
So, what can we do after eating? Dr. Zhang's personal advice is that after eating, everyone should go for a walk outdoors, walk a walk, or do some housework, wash dishes, brush pots, so that you can not only avoid obesity, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, esophageal reflux and other health problems caused by sitting and lying down after meals, but also avoid other gastrointestinal diseases caused by strenuous exercise.
Today's question is very close to the daily life of ordinary people, I hope that the answer given by Dr. Zhang can be helpful to you, especially in this Spring Festival holiday.
Finally, I wish you all a Happy New Year and a Happy Family!
