What you shouldn't do after eating

After eating, it is important not to do certain things to promote good health. UAportal has collected several life hacks that will help improve the digestive system and overall health.

Smoking

You should avoid smoking after meals to reduce the risk of heartburn and indigestion. Smoking can interfere with the absorption of nutrients from food, which can lead to health problems.

The combination of chemicals in cigarettes and food can create harmful compounds in the body. Wait at least 2 hours after eating before smoking. This way, you minimize the effect of toxins on the body.

Going to bed

Don't go to bed right after eating to prevent heartburn. Wait 2-3 hours for the food to digest before going to bed. This will promote proper digestion and reduce discomfort.

Drinking tea

Drinking tea or coffee immediately after a meal can interfere with the body's ability to absorb iron from food. Compounds in these drinks can block the absorption of trace elements, so it's best to wait at least an hour before drinking tea or coffee.
