Is it okay to lie down after eating? What should I pay attention to?

Due to the tight working and study schedules, many people lie down to sleep right after a meal, but lying down to sleep right after a meal is not good for the body, especially for the stomach. So what will be the impact? Let me briefly say here that since you have just finished a meal and the food has not been digested yet, if you lie down directly on the bed, it will put pressure on your stomach. If you feel like vomiting at this time, it means that your stomach has been hurt. It is recommended not to lie down immediately after eating, and wait at least half an hour before lying down.

In the past, people were accustomed to taking a rest after lunch because most people felt headache, weakness in limbs, and soreness all over the body after lunch. This is because the human body's blood has a relatively constant indicator. After a person eats, blood flow will be concentrated in the digestive system, resulting in a relatively reduced blood supply to the brain and body. As a result, the brain and limbs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients, and metabolic products cannot be eliminated in time, causing a series of discomfort symptoms. Studies have shown that taking a half-hour break before a meal can more effectively eliminate fatigue than sleeping for 2 hours after a meal, and can greatly improve work efficiency in the afternoon.

There was a saying in the past: Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine. However, according to scientific analysis, walking immediately after a meal is not entirely correct. This is because food is concentrated in the stomach after a meal, which requires a large amount of digestive fluid and blood to participate in digestion. If you take a walk immediately after a meal, the blood needs to be transported to other parts of the body, which will reduce the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract and the food will not be fully digested. The latest research shows that if you change your past habits and take a short brisk walk before a full meal, you can quickly eliminate harmful blood lipids in the human body and be very beneficial for preventing heart disease.

Music is not only an art, but can also maintain health, prolong life, and even cure diseases. There is a saying in the ancient book "Shoushibaoyuan": "The spleen likes music, and it moves and grinds food when it hears the sound." Taoism also has a saying that "the spleen grinds when it hears music." In fact, these two sentences mean the same thing - music can help digestion. Soft and cheerful music, or even a pleasant environment, can serve as a benign stimulus to regulate the body's digestion and absorption functions through the central nervous system. Therefore, enjoying soft, bright, beautiful and moving music after eating is of great benefit to the human body. ——Great music can do everything.

I hope everyone will not be indifferent to this just because they don’t have time to rest. After all, your body is the capital of revolution, so don’t take it lightly. If it is really not possible, you can sit up straight after eating, which will help digestion faster. You can then go to bed earlier and rest without causing too much harm to your body.
