On a summer evening, the breeze blows gently, taking away the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving a piece of tranquility and coolness. Under the willow tree, several old friends came as promised, either with a chessboard, or with a teacup, or simply to enjoy this rare leisure.
Lao Zhang is the chatterbox in this group of people, and he can always bring some fresh topics. While shaking the fan, he said with his eyebrows fluttering, "Hey, have you heard? Recently, a health expert said that there are seven things that cannot be done after a meal, let's compare them and see if they have been done. ”
Lao Li was a cautious person, he put down the teacup in his hand and asked curiously, "Oh? What are the seven things? Let's hear it. ”
Lao Zhang cleared his throat and began to say: "First, you can't lie down immediately. As you all know, lying down immediately after a meal can easily affect digestion and may lead to 'stomach sagging'. ”
Xiao Wang is a young office worker, and he took over the conversation: "I know this, I lie down after eating, and the food in my stomach has not had time to digest, which is really not good." ”
Lao Zhang nodded in agreement, and then said, "Second, don't exercise vigorously. Strenuous exercise immediately after a meal causes blood flow to the muscles and bones, affecting digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. ”
Lao Li added: "Yes, I used to like to go for a walk after eating, but experts say that you have to wait at least half an hour to an hour before you can do a moderate amount of exercise. ”
Lao Zhang continued: "Third, you can't drink a lot of water. Drinking plenty of water after a meal can dilute gastric juice and affect digestion. Of course, drinking a small amount of water is okay and helps to soften the food. ”
Xiao Wang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I haven't paid attention to this, I have to pay attention to it in the future." ”
Lao Zhang smiled and continued: "Fourth, you can't eat fruit right away. It is best to eat fruits before meals, or two hours after meals, otherwise it will affect the digestion and absorption of other foods. ”
Lao Li nodded: "I have an impression of this, it seems that there is a saying that 'fruit is better medicine before meals'." ”
Lao Zhang continued: "Fifth, you can't smoke right away. Smoking after a meal is ten times more harmful than usual, because the gastrointestinal peristalsis is faster after a meal, the blood circulation is also accelerated, and the harmful substances in tobacco are more easily absorbed. ”
Xiao Wang frowned: "I know this, but there are always people who can't help but have one after dinner." ”
Lao Zhang sighed and continued: "Sixth, you can't take a bath right away. Bathing immediately after a meal can lead to an increase in blood flow to the body surface and a corresponding decrease in blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract, which can affect digestion. ”
Lao Li agreed: "That's right, I usually wait until I'm done eating before taking a shower." ”
Lao Zhang finally said: "Seventh, you can't read books or watch TV right away. This affects the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients. Those of us who like to lie on the sofa after eating, watch TV, and play with mobile phones, which is not good. ”
Xiao Wang touched his nose and said a little embarrassed: "Oh, that's how I am, I have to change it in the future." ”
Everyone discussed word by word, and before you knew it, it was getting late, and the moon crept up the treetops. Their topic also shifted from health knowledge to life trivialities, laughter and conversation echoed under the willow trees, as if even the air around them had become more relaxed and pleasant.
Such a gathering, although simple, is full of warmth and care. Everyone is paying attention to each other's health and life, reminding and urging each other, so that each other feels warm and happy.
Finally, Lao Zhang stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's all go home." Remember, don't do it after a meal, and health will accompany you. ”
Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they remembered. They packed up their things and reluctantly said goodbye to the little gathering under the willow tree.
On the way home, Xiao Wang silently thought about Lao Zhang's words in his heart. He realized that although he was young, he couldn't neglect his health. He decided to start today and get rid of those bad habits and make his life healthier and better.
This small gathering under the willow tree in the evening not only allowed them to enjoy a moment of tranquility and joy, but also made them realize the importance of health. They understand that a better future can only be achieved by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
And this perception and determination will accompany them through every day in the future.
