To ensure good health, one must be disciplined about meal schedules and eating behaviours. Knowing what and how much to eat is essential for maintaining proper digestion, as digestive issues can lead to various health problems. To reach your nutritional objectives, it is also important to understand the dos and don'ts to follow after meals. If you are still confused, nutritionist Pooja Malhotra is here to help. She has shared a video on Instagram explaining what to do and avoid after eating. She emphasises that activities like sleeping, bathing and eating fruits immediately after a meal are not healthy for the body. Additionally, feeling guilty for overeating and sitting for prolonged periods can have adverse effects on your health.
Contrary to popular belief, having tea or coffee after a meal is also harmful to your body. Pooja advises that smoking should be avoided after eating as well. Instead, she recommends getting up, stretching a little, and taking a short stroll (about 10 minutes). “You could also have some herbal tea 15-30 min after the meal, as they aid digestion,” says Pooja Malhotra.
