Read desk. Do not consider the habit of sitting or lying immediately after eating, it can become a threat to the body and especially the heart. Small daily habits have a big impact in a long time. So after eating, make a little walking part of your routine and keep the heart healthy.

In today’s run -of -the -mill life, most of us consider sitting or lying comfortably after eating – but this habit can be harmful to the body, especially the heart. Let us know about it in detail.

What happens by sitting or lying immediately after eating?
After eating, our body gets engaged in the digestive process. During this process, blood flow increases in the box so that the food can digest well.
– If we sit in the same position at this time or lie down, then the flow of blood is not done correctly.
– This causes more pressure on the heart because the body has to digest together and handle the stable posture.
– If this condition continues for a long time, the risk of problems like blood pressure, obesity, and heart disease can increase.

Heart effect
– Increase in blood pressure
– If you sit immediately after eating, then it affects circulation and the heart has to work harder.
– Increase of triglycerides
– Especially sitting immediately after heavy or oily food disrupts fat metabolism in the body, which can increase triglycerides and cholesterol – both of them are associated with the risk of heart attack.
– Acid reflux and gastric problems
– Lying does not digest food properly, which can cause acid reflux, irritation, and gas problems. This situation continuously affects the heart.
– Slow metabolism and obesity
– Sitting or sleeping after eating continuously slows down metabolism – which gives rise to risk factors like obesity and diabetes.

What should be done after eating?
-Walk slowly (5-10 minutes)
– Light walk helps in digestion and improves blood circulation. It reduces pressure on the heart.
– Avoid lying down at least 30 minutes
– Avoid lying down immediately after eating. Even if you sit, keep the back straight and do not sit down.
– Avoid heavy food, especially at night
– Dinner should be lighter and food should be eaten at least 2 hours before bedtime.
– Take a deep breath or do pranayam
– If you have to rest, pay attention to breaths. It also helps in digestion and gives rest to the heart.
-Drink water slowly
