1.Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
2.Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
3.Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4.Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
5.Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6.Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7.Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Hi rimal, when I saw your title I automatically presumed that the most dangerous thing to do after a meal was to swim. That is known to be dangerous and every year around here there are cases of people drowning after eating a heavy meal and then taking to the sea. So we are always ravenous after a few hours on the beach. The other thing I thought would be dangerous would be sport as the football coach always tells the children to ensure they eat a few hours before they train. They certainly sound more dangerous than walking around!

Oh man, I do all this things after a meal. I didn't now it was dangerous. I know smoking is truly dangerous to one's health. So far nothing bad had ever happened to me while doing this things after eating. I guess I'll be careful next time. Nice post.

Do you have some articles or facts to support on this?
I am not a nutritionist or into medical profession and
as I searched in the internet, there are contradicting
articles. On that 7 acts, some are true and some are not.
Found this link that claims some are not true.
