It's just as crucial to let your body digest your food. The typical errors we frequently make that have an impact on our stomach have frequently been mentioned by health specialists. It could be time to watch what you do after meals if you are having digestive problems. Nutritionist Bhakti Arora Kapoor said, "It's crucial to pay attention to what you do after a meal, as it can significantly impact your digestion and overall well-being. Here are some things you should avoid like the plague."

Post-meal nap: Avoid taking a winker immediately after eating. In fact, simply lying down can lead to acid reflux and indigestion.

Work-out: Hitting the gym right after a meal diverts blood flow from digestion, making it less efficient. Allow an hour before engaging in strenuous exercise.

Drinking tea or coffee: We're aware that a lot of folks will find this one challenging. However, drinking tea or coffee just after a meal might prevent the absorption of iron and cause mineral imbalances. If you require a beverage after eating, use warm water or herbal tea.

Smoke: Smoking after a meal is worse because it's a habit that generally harms your body more. It affects your gut in addition to your lungs.

Eating fruits: As hard as it is to resist that plate of cut fruit, eating them after a fulfilling meal may cause bloating and discomfort.
