Here are a few unhealthy post-meal practices that can create havoc with your body.

 Exercising

Exercising right after meals can disrupt your digestion process. You may even experience vomiting, stomach puffiness, and loose motions.

Smoking

According to health experts, smoking after a meal is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes. It is not advisable to smoke immediately after a meal.

Bathing

Always avoid bathing right after eating a heavy meal as it delays the process of digestion. This is because bathing impacts the blood flow around the stomach, which flows to other parts of the body during a shower and hampers digestion.

Drinking tea

Taking a cup of tea right after the meal can interfere with the breaking of food molecules and cause indigestion as it ends up hardening the protein content in the food. Also drinking tea after meals can hamper iron absorption. So, it is best to avoid drinking tea after eating.

Eating fruits

Fruits are regarded as healthy to the body, but eating them right after meals can lead to indigestion. The best time to eat fruits is two hours before or after the meal, this will help in boosting the metabolism and help in better absorption of nutrients.

Sleeping

Taking a nap after a meal may seem like a happy experience, but doing this can hamper the process of digestion and may take a long time to break down the food molecules. Thus, it is best to avoid sleeping right after eating a heavy meal.
