Dutch scientists discovered a few years ago that it is better to work on an empty stomach. For some reason, European bright minds suddenly decided that important decisions are made easier with a rumbling in their stomach, quarterly reports are written once or twice, and brick walls at construction sites are being erected much faster. But they have it there, in Holland. And nobody canceled our lunch break. Cafes are inviting to themselves with colorful signs inviting them to taste business lunches at ridiculous prices, numerous shawarmiatni in the struggle for visitors focus on snack time - you can eat almost on the run, and canteens open their doors for lovers of “first, second, third”. The correspondent of Gazeta Nedeli in Saratov also decided to dine in the Saratov canteens.

A tribute to tradition

For Vladimir, a visitor to the canteen located almost at the intersection of Vavilova and Universitetskaya streets, the lunch break is an important ritual that should never be violated. The old Soviet habit turned out to be ineradicable. Only the place of eating (closer to work) and prices have changed. The man admits that it’s an unacceptable luxury for the average Russian to eat up to the dump nowadays, even in canteens: “I figured out in my spare time how much I gobble up a month. It worked out decently. Where to go? I'll leave work for at least an hour, stretch myself, look at people, show myself. "

Vladimir even recommends the dining room to me. Prices - you can, of course, and cheaper, neat, tidy, cook delicious. “Eh, sorry lunch is only an hour. You bet, then, in general, working days will fly by, and not drag on, ”the man lets go of humorous complaints. And then he shares another observation with me. Vladimir noticed that, despite the first, second, salad and compote, he again wants to eat almost an hour and a half later.

My interlocutor did not lie. The tables are neatly laid with tablecloths, each with salt and pepper, in the corner of the hall there is a tripod hanger. Another plus is the absence of a queue. The room is practically empty, and there is no one at all at the distribution. Even the one who has to distribute food. I call out to the canteen staff. From somewhere in the back of the hall, a middle-aged woman comes out to me. Without enthusiasm, she begins to introduce me to the menu. Rather, with what was left of him. Lunch rush hour has already passed, and will have to be content with what was not eaten before me. I'm not complaining - even in this situation, there is plenty to choose from. Poor woman - how many times a day she has to repeat all this! But I ask you not only to list the dishes, but also to show them. In the end, I stop at soup, cabbage rolls and coffee. This lunch costs about 130 rubles. A girl is following me to the cashier with a tray. She is a frequent guest in this dining room and clearly knows what dishes she will have for dinner today. And he also spends no more than 150 rubles for lunch.

Our people

Another popular canteen is not far from School 1, on Stepan Razin Street. In my student years, it was located in a different place - across the street. At the big break there was no overcrowding. It must be assumed that the same is happening now. I doubt that every student can afford to dine in a cafe every day.

There are several tables in the first room. On the strength of about six. There is a large plasma on the wall. It is not music videos that are played on it, but some recently filmed series about the war years. Almost all tables are occupied. There are two women in line in front of me. Judging by their conversations, they are in this dining room for the first time. The distributor, a friendly middle-aged woman, tirelessly talks about almost every dish. And there is something to talk about.

On the counter are steaks with eggs, cutlets with ham, cutlets from liver, beef, pork, kupaty, lula, chicken fillet. There is no shortage of side dishes: buckwheat, vegetables, pasta, rice, and so on. All this is quite acceptable prices... A pork cutlet will cost 50 rubles, and a beef cutlet is 5 rubles cheaper. A serving of cauliflower with vegetables costs 45 rubles, and beef goulash costs 65 rubles. For 85 rubles, you can dine with stewed potatoes with pork. And wash it all down with either juices or compotes. I am attracted by a transparent drink in a faceted glass. I wonder what it is: vodka or mineral water. Not guessing - neither one nor the other. It turns out that there is birch sap in a glass. Purely out of interest, I choose it. I have never tried birch sap. The drink tastes very much even nothing, but, of course, it has nothing to do with the symbol of Russia. One name.

By the way, the main influx of customers is behind (time is moving towards three o'clock in the afternoon), but there is an abundance of everything in the distribution. “Take this fish fillet. It's just delicious. What kind of tea do you want? Black green? Unfortunately, there is no green one, but this one is so fragrant! Such is his aroma! " - praises the dispenser of food and drinks. "Well, for now, choose, and I'll go and borrow places," says a lady to her friend, who decided on dinner a couple of minutes earlier. The distributor and then inserts her five kopecks with a melodic goal: “What are you worried about? We have a second hall! " This was also a discovery for me. It turns out that this dining room does not end with a small room.

The first room has a relaxed atmosphere. I conclude that the same people eat in this dining room every day. It's a sin not to get to know each other. At one table, the hard workers are discussing some of their pressing issues, chuckling in unison at someone's jokes. The table, which was placed exactly opposite the plasma, is occupied entirely by some man. He seems to be a big fan of eating. The entire table is covered with empty dishes. It's not just the first, second, third, but also the fourth, fifth, sixth at least. He's a regular here too. He knows almost all the employees of the canteen personally. I have had lunch for a long time, but I am in no hurry to leave the walls of the institution. Either he will exchange a few words with the distributor, or he will be interested in what is happening on the screen.

MP's lunch

For those who are not in the know, the Regional Duma opens its doors every weekday (or rather, the doors of the canteen) for everyone who wants to eat. To find yourself in the Duma canteen, you just need to leave outerwear in the wardrobe and bypass the metal detector.

“For everyone from outside, they are allowed into the dining room for about an hour. But you can come a little early. I think they will. Moreover, nowadays there are not many people walking around, ”my grandmother tells me about the rules for visiting the Duma canteen in the wardrobe, while I transfer my wallet and phone from my jacket pockets to my jacket pockets.

During the lunch hour, the "locals" did not have time to empty everything that the table's chefs had prepared. For the first time I order borscht. In other canteens, I have not seen even a piece of meat on the plate. Here - please, and not one. Plus sprinkle with herbs, add mayonnaise. For 2 rubles, you can add crackers. The distributor asks if it is still necessary to heat it up. I nod in response, and the plate of borscht goes into the microwave for a minute. I order a pizza - it is also first pushed into the oven to heat it up. It is also convenient that lunch can be paid by card.

The Duma canteen begins to fill up with visitors "from the outside" closer to half past one. But, according to the woman on the distribution, these are all flowers. She, like the cloakroom attendant, notices that fewer people come to dinner. Prices, by the way, are the same as in other canteens. It features friendly staff, great order and quality of food. There would be more such thoughts with such canteens in Saratov. Otherwise, it’s not with your hands to go for lunch through half of the city in Saratov traffic jams.

After a delicious lunch

Surely many people remember the humorous rhyme that: "After a delicious dinner, according to the Archimedes 'law, one is supposed to sleep" or "After a hearty dinner, according to the Archimedes' law, in order not to swim with fat, one is supposed to smoke." But these humorous lines tell us exactly what we shouldn't do after eating.
Let's consider, friends, what you really shouldn't do right after a meal, so as not to spoil your health and preserve the opportunity to enjoy all the culinary delights for a longer time.

After eating, you do not need to do

1. To smoke... This is the main point that smokers should make as a rule. Smoking after a meal is many times more harmful to health - the risk increases 1 in 10. One cigarette smoked after a meal is equal to ten smoked at another time, that is, instead of one cigarette, you smoke at once 10. Do you need it ?! The fact is that in the process of digesting food, the stomach absorbs not only useful, but harmful substances much more actively. And in cigarette smoke, as you know, there are plenty of them. Smoking after meals inevitably leads to gastritis, ulcers and other stomach diseases.

2. Lie down or sleep... Sleeping immediately after eating leads to slow digestion, which, in turn, threatens to be overweight. Imagine, your body is asleep, and it needs to digest all the contents of your stomach, so diligently filled with you. Yes, healthy sleep normalizes metabolism, which leads to weight loss, but this is if you have eaten at least 3 hours before bedtime. Sleep more, but not immediately after eating! Even if you, immediately after eating, take a horizontal position, want to rest, this will lead you to heartburn.

3. Eat fruit... It is recommended to eat fruit either on an empty stomach or after eating, at least 30 minutes later. Digestion of fruits together with other food leads to rotting and fermentation of food in the stomach., which threatens you with at least bloating or a "hurricane in the stomach."

4. To drink tea... Tea contains tannin, and in different types of tea this substance is present in different concentrations. In addition to the beneficial effect on the body, the tannin contained in tea slows down the digestion of protein and, as a result, worsens its absorption. So It is recommended to drink tea no earlier than 30 minutes after a meal, and preferably an hour later.

5. Walk... If you want to go for an active walk immediately after eating, you, again, will distract your body from the main role that it needs to play in this moment- digestion of food. As a result, all useful substances taken with food will not be fully absorbed by the body.

6. Swim or wash... As you know, the adoption of water procedures entails increased blood flow to the limbs and skin... The flow of blood to the stomach, which is necessary for the digestion of food, for obvious reasons, again weakens. As a result part nutrients coming with food will not be channeled, but will be wasted.

7. Relax your belt or belt... And the last, important point: if you like to tighten your waist with a tight belt or belt, and you ate quite satisfyingly, in no case do not loosen the belt immediately after eating. This must be done before eating, either in the process, or, stoically enduring it, at least an hour later. Imagine, you pulled the stomach, all the food you took remained in its upper part, with a sharp relaxation, it falls down in one lump, which can lead to blocking, for a while, the digestion process, and in the future to twisting of the intestines.

These are the seven actions that do not need to do immediately after eating... Best of all, after a delicious lunch, you should, first of all, thank the person who prepared you delicious dishes, and later, you can sit quietly, watch TV, read a book, or do your favorite hobby.

1. You feel tired and sleepy after eating

Basically, a state of sleepiness after a hearty lunch or a gala dinner is normal reaction the body, especially if this dinner was rich in carbohydrates. However, if this condition occurs too often, this is a reason to think that your diet is too friendly for diabetes. Practicing it for years is like constantly shouting "Diabetes, come!" - sooner or later he will come. Only you will not be happy about it.

What's happening: Once in your body, all carbohydrates - be it a cookie or a carrot - enter the bloodstream as glucose, the body's main source of energy. When this glucose reaches the liver, the organ reacts by releasing a bolt dose of insulin, a hormone that helps the cells in the body to "absorb" the glucose. The cells have insulin receptors that "absorb" glucose and either immediately put it into action, giving you a burst of energy, or save it for later use.

This is a very smart and well thought out system, however, like all mechanisms, it fails from too frequent use. If you constantly consume ice cream, soda, cakes, candy and tea or coffee with sugar, your body cells at one point stop responding to insulin and "close" from glucose, which is already too much in them. However, the liver “does not understand” this and, since it “sees” that the glucose level is still too high, it continues to inject insulin into the blood almost literally "rapes" the cells, forcing them to take in excess glucose no matter what.

If insulin storms are constantly raging in your blood, sooner or later the cells will finally “close” and you will get the high level of insulin resistance that is an integral part of diabetes.

What to do: First of all, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of carbohydrates, especially fast carbohydrates and replace them with whole grains, vegetables, fruits (NOT juices) - the body digests all this longer, which means that the flow of glucose into the blood will be slower and more even.

Get in the habit of taking a 15-minute walk after a big meal. Even a banal mini-cleaning in the kitchen - to wash the dishes, take out the trash - after dinner is better than "rest" in front of the TV or computer. In 2011, the Mayo Clinic received some rather shocking results from a study on the effect of activity on glucose levels. It turned out that those who moved even a little after eating, their blood sugar (glucose) levels rose half as slow as those who adhered to the mantra "after a hearty meal, according to Archimedes' law, you should sleep." If all people “shake the dinner”, the number of diabetics in the world today would not be so great.

The dependence of the pressure in a liquid or gas on the depth of immersion of a body leads to the appearance of a buoyancy force (or otherwise an Archimedes force) acting on any body immersed in a liquid or gas.

The Archimedean force is always directed opposite to the force of gravity, therefore the weight of a body in a liquid or gas is always less than the weight of this body in a vacuum. The magnitude of the Archimedean force is determined by the Archimedes law.

The law is named after the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, who lived in the 3rd century BC.

The discovery of the basic law of hydrostatics is the greatest achievement of ancient science. Most likely you already know the legend about how Archimedes discovered his law: “Once the Syracuse king Hieron summoned him and said. What happened next? ...

Archimedes' law was first mentioned by him in the treatise "On floating bodies". Archimedes wrote: "bodies heavier than liquid, immersed in this liquid, will descend until they reach the very bottom, and in the liquid they will become lighter by the value of the weight of the liquid in a volume equal to the volume of the submerged body."

Another formula for determining the Archimedean force:

It is INTERESTING that the force of Archimedes is equal to zero, when the body immersed in the liquid is dense, with the whole base pressed to the bottom.

WEIGHT OF A BODY IMMEDIATED IN A LIQUID (OR GAS)

Body weight in vacuum Pо = mg.
If the body is immersed in liquid or gas,
then P = Po - Fа = Po - Pzh

The weight of a body immersed in a liquid or gas decreases by the magnitude of the buoyancy force acting on the body.

A body immersed in a liquid or gas loses in its weight as much as the liquid displaced by it weighs.

BOOKSHELF

TURNS OUT

The density of organisms living in water is almost the same as the density of water, so they don't need strong skeletons!

Pisces regulate the depth of immersion by changing the average density of their body. To do this, they only need to change the volume of the swim bladder by contracting or relaxing the muscles.

Off the coast of Egypt, there is an amazing phagak fish. The approach of danger makes the phagak quickly swallow water. At the same time, rapid decomposition of food products occurs in the fish esophagus with the release of a significant amount of gases. Gases fill not only the active cavity of the esophagus, but also the blind outgrowth present with it. As a result, the phagak's body swells greatly, and, in accordance with Archimedes' law, it quickly floats to the surface of the reservoir. Here he swims with his belly hanging upside down until the gases released in his body evaporate. After that, the force of gravity lowers him to the bottom of the reservoir, where he takes refuge among the bottom algae.

Chilim (water walnut) after flowering produces heavy fruits under water. These fruits are so heavy that they may well carry the whole plant to the bottom. However, at this time, the chilim growing in deep water has swellings on the leaf stalks that give it the necessary lifting force, and it does not sink.

WE ARE EARNING "5"?

1. Density the body is determined by weighing it in air and in water. When a small body is immersed in water, air bubbles are retained on its surface, due to which an error in determining the density is obtained. Is the density higher or lower?

2. What conclusion can be drawn about the magnitude of the Archimedean force by conducting appropriate experiments on the Moon, where the force of gravity is six times less than on Earth?

One good day out of town

1. So, on September 2, I woke up early. This is normal, I have been waking up in the range of 5.30-6.00 for several years. Then I can still fall asleep, most often it happens. This time, waking up, I had to turn on the night lamp and read a little, it took 15 minutes of reading to make me fall asleep again.

2. I wake up again when the room has already become light. You can get up, I open the curtains. God, what a joy it is to sleep with the window open. We, residents of the “city that could” (c), are completely deprived of such pleasure. And living without having to turn on the air conditioner at night is also priceless. At home in the summer I am completely deprived of such an opportunity, to my great regret. Earlier, when I lived in a small town, I did not understand the value of such trifles (as it might seem at first glance). But everything is learned by comparison.

3. And go out early in the morning on the porch with a glass of water, breathe in the fresh air deeply, please your eyes with fresh greens. All this also puts me in a great mood.

4. I walked barefoot on the grass, stretched and went for a walk along the paths. The guard has not yet opened the passage to the lake, so I am walking around the territory.

5. I visited the chickens, their eggs and we will cook ourselves for breakfast. The cocks are not visible in the photo, but they are singing loudly from the very morning, take my word for it.

6. I returned to the house, my husband was still asleep, decided not to interfere with him and read a book for now. He works hard, let him sleep off.

7. My husband woke up, he also went out to wander on the grass, and at the same time photographed me reading in a hammock. Now I offered to walk with him through the territory. And I'm all for it!

8. They did not get to the lake again, but they talked to the local dogs.

9. The sun rises higher.

10. Time for breakfast. I go to cook and serve breakfast, while my husband tidies up the house, makes the beds and sweeps the porch where we will have breakfast. We have such a fad - we put things in order everywhere, everything that surrounds us should be clean and beautiful. If we don't do it for ourselves, who will do it then? The bed is made. Order!

11. You can have breakfast. For breakfast, scrambled eggs from those same chickens and something else.

12. Well-fed and happy after breakfast we went to the lake. The gate was finally open. We just sat on a pontoon, fried in the sun, dangled our legs, and at the same time checked social networks. There is no internet in the house, but here at least 3 G was caught from Megaphone. But personally, I was very glad that there was no Internet in the house, at least a little distracted from social networks... My husband wanted to work, took a laptop with him, but said that “Work is not a wolf ..” and this made me very happy too.

13. We went down slightly in iPhones. 3G is not LTE, it quickly gets boring to wait for the page to load. We decided to explore the vicinity of Lake Sunukl. On the boat. For this I had to go to the guard and take the key and oars from them. And they swam. Husband rowing, and I show where to swim.

"We rode a looooodochka. "(Sings)

And yes, I am in a life jacket, I have a lot of fears, one of them - I am afraid to swim far, so I put on a life jacket, so it’s calmer for me.

14. In general, we swam for about two hours, back rowing was more difficult - the flow in the opposite direction. We swam the whole lake from end to end and hurried to our shore, got very hungry, and the time for dinner had already come. The husband got up to the barbecue, I - to cut vegetables for the grill and for the salad and again set the table. We were so hungry that this is the only photo of our lunch. But the dinner turned out to be quite good, take my word for it.

15. After a delicious lunch according to Archimedes' law. Yes, you need to rest. It's hot outside, but the house is cool. I need to read a book and take a nap!

16. Sleep, you need to entertain yourself. Let's go play ping pong. But I don't have a single photo to prove that we did it. Sorry. Believe it or not, it's up to you. A local cat named Timofey came running to the sound of the ball bouncing off the table. We met him on the lake, his owners brought him there for a walk on a leash. And here he walks around the estate on his own. As soon as the ball fell on the grass, he tried to catch it. After finishing the game in which I came out the winner with a score of 15-13, I stayed to play with the kitten, and my husband went to check the bathhouse.

17. We spent the evening in the bathhouse.

18. We had supper there, but supper was sheer improvisation. I didn't want to cook anything, and why should I eat up in the bath? After a couple of visits to the steam room, we had a bite to eat with stuffed pancakes brought from home and something else that God sent. And they drank a glass of wine.

19. When we got out of the bath, it was already getting dark. And after a bath and spent on fresh air day, I had neither the strength nor the desire to photograph something, I really wanted to quickly take a horizontal position and fall asleep. Which I successfully did so that the next day (and that was September 3) "flip the calendar" and spend another great day in nature until the evening. Needless to say, we arrived home on Sunday happy and full of energy before the working week?

AFTER A DELICIOUS LUNCH, BY THE LAW OF ARCHIMEDES ... ABOUT THE REASONS OF SLEEPING IN THE AFTERNOON "After a delicious dinner, according to the law of Archimedes, one should sleep ..." Is this a familiar saying? Many people in the afternoon experience a sharp decline in working capacity and an extremely high desire to lie down and sleep. Especially often with the "crisis of three o'clock in the afternoon," as some foreign researchers call this state, those who spend most of their working time sitting are faced. Sleepiness in the afternoon can be explained by the fact that at this time, as well as at night, the body receives peak signals about the need to rest. In order to cheer up, in this case, it is enough to drink a glass of clean water at room temperature or just get up and walk around the office. If the drowsy state does not leave you after that, the reasons should be looked for in what you ate or, conversely, did not eat for lunch.

Reason # 1. You skipped lunch Without a doubt, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But in no case should you diminish the importance of lunch. And even more so there is no need to give it up. Even if you have a lot of work accumulated, and a pile of papers is waiting for your attention, it is imperative to find time for lunch. The fact is that labor productivity directly depends on the consistent and timely supply of "fuel" to the body. By skipping lunch, you run the risk of not very healthy and waist-positive consequences, such as fatigue, lethargy, worsening mood, dizziness and "brutal" appetite for dinner. Also, do not "interrupt" with one apple or something sweet: literally immediately you will feel severe hunger, and you will hardly have time to have lunch during working hours, since you were so busy during your break. Solution. If you know in advance that you will be extremely busy that day, to go to lunch in your usual canteen or cafe, take your food with you. This advice is also suitable for those who skip lunch due to the fact that they do not trust the quality of food in catering establishments. If you have little time to pack in the morning, lunch can be packed in a container in the evening and refrigerated. Over time, this will become a habit. Reason # 2. You skimp on carbohydrates You like to eat a serving of delicious, nutritious and healthy salad for lunch. Everything would be fine, if not for one "but". Eating a dish of low-carb vegetables in the afternoon gives you a state where your brain turns to mush. Even if after the salad you immediately feel full, after a while you will involuntarily want to reach for the cookies from the table of your neighbor in the office or go to the vending machine for a chocolate bar. In other words, the body will have a great desire to get fast carbohydrates. Research involving people of the most of different ages and professions, have repeatedly shown that the main "fuel" of the human brain is carbohydrates. It has been noted that after eating foods high in this nutrient, memory and concentration increases. This is especially true for those foods that contain complex ("slow") carbohydrates - whole grain bread, legumes, cereals. Solution. When preparing your lunch in a container or choosing dishes in the dining room, make sure that your lunch is balanced, that is, it contains both proteins and fats and carbohydrates. For example, cook yourself porridge from chickpeas, buckwheat or brown rice (complex carbohydrates), steam cutlets from lean meat, chicken or fish (sources of protein). Pack a fresh vegetable salad with flaxseed or olive oil, or half an avocado (healthy fats) in a separate container. Reason number 3. You eat at your desk Many people like to dine without being distracted from their work. Checking your mail while quickly chewing on a piece of cutlet or sandwich, you will not even notice that you are overeating. Few people want to work on a full stomach. Solution. If your office doesn't have a dining area, move the keyboard and mouse aside for lunch and dim your monitor screen to avoid distractions. Chew and savor every bite of food thoroughly. If there is still food in the container, but you feel full, leave the rest of your lunch. Next time, you will have a rough guess of how much food you need to take with you. After lunch, leave your work area at least briefly before the end of your break. Walk around the office, and if possible, get out for some air. These are the main causes of fatigue and sleepiness in the afternoon. If lethargy haunts you constantly, regardless of the time of day, you should pay attention to your health. It is likely that the reason for this is chronic lack of sleep, constant stress, vitamin deficiency or anemia. Take care of yourself and be healthy!

"After a delicious dinner, according to Archimedes' law, you should sleep ..." Is this a familiar saying? Many people in the afternoon experience a sharp decline in working capacity and an extremely high desire to lie down and sleep. Especially often with the "crisis of three o'clock in the afternoon," as some foreign researchers call this state, those who spend most of their working time sitting are faced.

Sleepiness in the afternoon can be explained by the fact that at this time, as well as at night, the body receives peak signals about the need to rest. In order to cheer up, in this case, it is enough to drink a glass of clean water at room temperature or just get up and walk around the office. If the drowsy state does not leave you after that, the reasons should be looked for in what you ate or, conversely, did not eat for lunch.

Reason # 1. You skipped lunch.

Breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day. But in no case should you diminish the importance of lunch. And even more so there is no need to give it up.
Even if you have a lot of work accumulated, and a pile of papers is waiting for your attention, it is imperative to find time for lunch. The fact is that labor productivity directly depends on the consistent and timely supply of "fuel" to the body. By skipping lunch, you run the risk of not very healthy and waist-positive consequences, such as fatigue, lethargy, worsening mood, dizziness and "brutal" appetite for dinner. Also, do not "interrupt" with one apple or something sweet: literally immediately you will feel severe hunger, and you will hardly have time to have lunch during working hours, since you were so busy during your break.

If you have little time to pack in the morning, lunch can be packed in a container in the evening and refrigerated. Over time, this will become a habit.
Reason # 2. You skimp on carbohydrates.

You enjoy eating a serving of delicious, nutritious and healthy salad for lunch. Everything would be fine, if not for one "but". Eating a dish of low-carb vegetables in the afternoon gives you a state where your brain turns to mush. Even if after the salad you immediately feel full, after a while you will involuntarily want to reach for the cookies from the table of your neighbor in the office or go to the vending machine for a chocolate bar. In other words, the body will have a great desire to get fast carbohydrates.
Studies involving people of all ages and professions have shown more than once that the main "fuel" of the human brain is carbohydrates. It has been noted that after eating foods high in this nutrient, memory and concentration increases. This is especially true for those foods that contain complex ("slow") carbohydrates - whole grain bread, legumes, cereals.

After a delicious dinner, according to the Archimedes' law ... "you are supposed to sleep", "in order not to swim with fat, you need to take and smoke", etc., etc. Surely many people remember these jokes, which are already "three hundred years old at lunchtime" and which have been joking for more than one generation.

But what is actually supposed to be done after dinner? It turns out that many of us have no idea that sleep and even a walk after a delicious dinner are contraindicated for! This fact has been proven by a number of studies conducted by physicians.

Today we will tell our readers about what can and cannot be beneficial or negatively reflected on digestion. The selection, which, we emphasize, is compiled on the basis of medical ones, will introduce you to 3 "Do's" and 6 "Do's" after meals.

Six "DO NOT" after eating

To go for a walk

Most people find that taking a walk immediately after a meal promotes gastric acid production and aids digestion.

But in reality, the opposite is true. Walking after a meal can cause acid reflexes and indigestion.

In general, walking is in a good way to burn calories. You just don't have to go for a walk for the first 10-15 minutes. It is recommended that you start your exercise at least 30 minutes after you finish eating.

Eat fruit

Many people are convinced to eat fruit for dessert right after a meal. But it turns out that this is not the right time to enjoy watermelons, apples and grapes.

Almost all fruits are easy to digest as they are made up of "simple sugar". And if you eat fruit immediately after a meal, the fruit will not be able to be quickly digested in the intestines with other foods. Instead, they'll get stuck with your dinner or lunch. This is why you should not eat any fruit within the first hour after finishing a meal.

To drink tea

Many teas have anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties that are beneficial to our health to a large extent.

However, many nutritionists do not recommend drinking these drinks after meals. Tea contains polyphenols and tannins, which bind iron in plant foods. As a result, drinking tea with food, we may not get the required amount of iron from our meals.

This is why the ideal time to drink tea is at least 1 hour after eating. Everyone who has an "iron deficiency" should pay attention to this!

Nap

Many people like to lie down to sleep immediately after eating, but this habit is not useful, since a small amount of digestive juices will flow back from your stomach into your esophagus.

This is why some people experience heartburn when they go to nap right after lunch or dinner. To avoid this problem, go to bed at least 2 hours after eating.

To take a bath

When we take a warm bath or shower, our body temperature rises. In order to lower this temperature, our body pumps more blood to the surface of the skin in order to “release” heat.

As a result, blood and energy that would have been used to digest food will be misused. Therefore, ideally, it is better to start water procedures in about 30 minutes.

To smoke

For some, smoking is a passionate habit, for others it is a way of showing sociability. But both of them often light a cigarette after eating alone or with colleagues and friends.

While smoking is associated with more serious risks, including cancer and emphysema (which causes shortness of breath), in this case we are talking about worsening symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which causes stomach ulcers, warns Fishki.net. Smoking also negatively affects the muscles of the colon, which is responsible for the important final step in digestion.

Three "MAYS" after a meal

Drink warm water

During the first hour immediately after a meal, the stomach needs blood, energy and heat to process the food. Thus, it would be wise not to waste your energy on any other actions that would disrupt this process.

Ideally, avoid all cold foods, including ice cream and cold water. This "kills" the heat in your stomach and the acidic reactions that aid digestion. In this case, warm water will be useful to you.

Chatting with family or friends

All you need is soft sunshine, pleasant conversation with family or friends. And no disputes or clarification of the relationship, because this can negatively affect digestion.

Wear loose clothing, loosen your belt, relax

To prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), avoid tight clothing, tight belts, or other accessories that put pressure on your stomach. It is best to spend time in loose clothing both before and after eating. At least relax the belt!
