Even if you have never smoked, you will have heard a "wise saying" from smokers - a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god. As for whether they are really happier than "gods", it is unknown, but many people who are addicted to smoking will habitually smoke a cigarette after a meal. It seems that only in this way the meal will be interesting, but smoking after the meal The harm will be greater than usual!
The reason is that after a person eats and drinks enough, the food in the stomach will be digested, and the human digestive system will start to "go to work", and the human gastrointestinal motility will be very frequent, so It will cause blood circulation to accelerate (of course you may not feel this), and the pores all over the body are also in an open state. At this time, when you smoke a cigarette, the pleasure will be several times that of your usual smoking, which will have a negative impact on your body. The damage may not be the same, let alone less, but ten times the damage! If you smoke after a meal, the nicotine in the tobacco will reach the brain within 10 seconds, prompting the brain to secrete dopamine, which is why people feel comfortable, but the "stamina" will be greater.
Because smoking at this time will inhale more harmful substances, the harmful ingredients in cigarettes will be easily absorbed due to accelerated blood circulation, and the ability of the lungs and body tissues to absorb smoke will enter the optimal state. Harmful substances in smoke can strongly irritate the respiratory tract and digestive tract, causing harmful substances to spread faster in the lungs.
Of course, it will not only affect the lungs. It is said that the body is "a single move affects the whole body." In order to help you deal with these harmful substances, the digestive system in the body will allocate them to various "departments." ”, which increases the workload of the liver. The liver is already busy enough, and it also has to help deal with the lungs. The liver says it is too difficult and can’t be busy?, thus affecting the liver’s lipid metabolism. , increasing the risk of fatty liver disease. The body lamented silently, it was such a bad luck to have such an owner of the stall, and there was not a single day that made people worry free.
In addition to the fact that smoking after meals is more harmful to the body, these habits are also more harmful than usual. Come and see if you have fallen victim to it? If not, I have to praise you for continuing to maintain the good habit. If so, quit as soon as possible! Eat fruit immediately after a meal
Some people are not full or habitually want to eat some fruit immediately after a meal to increase satiety, but it takes one to two hours after the food enters the stomach. It can be completely digested and absorbed. If you eat fruits in a hurry at this time, the nutrients will be blocked by the food you eat, and the nutrients of the fruits cannot be absorbed, which can easily cause indigestion, elevated blood sugar, and over time, bloating, diarrhea, or Constipation condition.
So if you want to eat fruit, it is recommended to eat it one hour after a meal~ Drink tea after a meal
Drinking tea after a meal will not only not help digestion, but the effect may be counterproductive. Tea contains tannic acid. After this substance enters the human stomach, it will combine with the minerals in the food to form tannic iron or calcium oxalate and other substances, which affects the absorption and utilization of minerals and directly affects the body's ability to absorb protein. And the absorption of iron will reduce the body's immunity in the long run.
Especially for people with anemia, calcium deficiency and too much/too little gastric acid secretion, they should avoid drinking tea immediately after a meal, especially strong tea. Exercise after meals
"Take a walk after a meal and exercise ninety-nine times" is true, but it is important to grasp the correct time! If you go for a walk or run just after eating, your gastrointestinal digestive function will be affected before your stomach has time to digest the food.
For people who already have gastrointestinal diseases, the condition will be aggravated, causing symptoms such as stomach pain, dizziness and fatigue. For those who want better digestion after meals, it is recommended to go for a walk half an hour or an hour after meals.
Also, do not take a shower, sleep, or drink a lot of water immediately after a meal. These bad habits may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and adverse reactions in the body (dizziness, bloating).
I hope everyone can quit the habit of smoking after meals and chew gum to distract themselves. Developing a good eating habit is very important. These small details after meals are the key that cannot be ignored. Developing a healthy living habit starts with small details~ If possible, quit smoking!
