Weight loss and beauty are topics of great concern in daily life, but you might find that small details and habits hidden in your life can ruin your figure, making you fat and less attractive. Weight loss is a process that pays attention to details. Paying attention to some small taboos after meals might lead to amazing changes in your figure. Today, let me explain them to you.
Three taboos after meals
1. Sit or lie down immediately after eating.
After a meal, people often feel bloated and tend to sit or lie down to rest. However, sitting or lying down immediately after eating puts pressure on the stomach and intestines, hindering digestion. Over time, this can lead to digestive system disorders, constipation, and an inability to eliminate toxins from the body. This toxin buildup can cause edema and abdominal obesity. Furthermore, prolonged sitting after meals can impede lymphatic drainage and metabolism, so it's important to avoid sitting down immediately after eating and instead move around more.
2. Eat fruit immediately after meals
Eating fruit after meals can help cut through the greasiness, but this is not a good eating habit. Food needs time to digest in the stomach. Eating fruit immediately after a meal means the fruit will be hindered by the food and cannot be properly digested. If fruit stays in the stomach for too long, it can cause bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. Long-term adherence to this habit can lead to digestive disorders. Remember, don't eat fruit immediately after meals!
Furthermore, after a main meal, the body's energy needs have already been replenished. While fruit is low in calories, these calories are "excess" compared to the body's energy requirements. This "excess" energy accumulates as fat, leading to weight gain. Therefore, it's not advisable to eat fruit immediately after a meal. It's better to eat fruit between meals. This aids digestion, increases satiety, reduces food intake at main meals, and helps with weight loss by preventing excessive calorie intake.
3. Drink yogurt after meals
Yogurt is indeed a helpful aid in weight loss, but this doesn't mean that drinking yogurt at any time will not lead to weight gain. Yogurt itself contains a certain amount of energy; 100 grams of yogurt contains 72 calories, and even non-fat yogurt is not low in calories. Drinking yogurt after meals is equivalent to consuming these extra calories, and doing so every day can lead to significant weight gain. Generally speaking, drinking yogurt 30 minutes to 2 hours after meals is most effective. This not only aids digestion but also allows the body to better absorb the nutrients in the yogurt.
Post-meal weight loss habits
1. Stand against the wall after meals
Standing against a wall after meals can improve blood circulation in the digestive tract, aid digestion, prevent constipation, promote detoxification, and significantly reduce abdominal fat. Standing itself is a simple exercise that burns calories and helps with weight loss. When standing against a wall after meals, pay attention to proper posture: keep your entire body facing away from the wall, tighten your buttocks, and try to keep your buttocks, back, legs, waist, head, and neck as close to the wall as possible. The ideal standing time is 15-30 minutes.
2. Develop the habit of clearing away dishes and utensils
Lazy people often neglect to clean up after meals or do it hastily. Instead, try cleaning up like someone with OCD, doing it in several sessions. This gets your body moving, aids digestion, burns calories, and helps you achieve a better physique.
3. Rinse your mouth after meals
A "glutton" can never get enough to eat; even after a full meal, they always crave dessert. Rinsing your mouth with warm water after a meal can reduce your appetite and prevent you from eating other foods after the main meal.
The seemingly insignificant details in daily life that I'm introducing today are actually hidden killers that prevent you from losing weight. After reading this article, quickly change these bad habits!
