First of all, obesity is one of the hazards of lying down after meals.
When you lie down after a meal, the food is continuously digested, and the heat generated will accumulate in the body in the form of fat, fat accumulation, weight gain, and then form a small belly. Therefore, in order to keep fit, you can't lie down after eating.
Secondly, lying down after meals is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Excessive accumulation of fat in the body may cause diseases such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
We know that after eating, we need a lot of blood to transport nutrients in food, and the blood in all parts of the body is concentrated in the digestive system, which is why we often feel sleepy. At this time, if you choose to lie down and sleep, it is likely to lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and easily induce cerebral thrombosis and stroke.
Lying down after meals can easily lead to abdominal distension, esophageal reflux, esophagitis and other diseases. After lying flat, due to the accumulation of a large amount of food in the stomach, the stomach pressure is high and the sphincter of cardia is slack, which easily leads to food upwelling and gastric acid upwelling along the esophagus, resulting in esophageal injury.
Finally, lying down after meals can lead to various functional disorders of the body.
When people lie still and rest for a while, the body will go into a dormant state, its function will become dull and its metabolism will slow down, so the body will go into a "dormant" state. After meals, the digestive system is at its peak, and the whole system is in a state of excitement. If you choose to lie down at this time, the digestive system will be forced to get excited, which will not only lead to a decline in sleep quality, but also lead to disharmony among various systems of the body. In the long run, it will easily lead to metabolic disorders and metabolic disorders in the human body.
