How to keep healthy after meals? It's better to stick to four steps

In life, many people are used to go out for a walk after meals to promote the digestion of food in the body. After meals, walking for health preservation is also a kind of health preservation method that many people highly recommend. In fact, to achieve better health preservation effect, when you eat, the following four steps will have better effect.

Listen to the ditty: "shoushibaoyuan" says: "the spleen is good at music, and when you hear it, you move and grind." Especially for old people, it's helpful to enjoy soft music after dinner. Polish medical experts have suggested that patients with stomach disease should listen to Bach's music records after each meal, so as to recover their stomach disease. It is not recommended for the elderly to listen to loud and noisy voice, strong excited rhythm, lingering and sad tone, which will have a bad impact on mood and digestive function.

Gargle first: Zhang Zhongjing, an ancient medical expert, pointed out that "when you gargle, you will never lose your teeth and your mouth will smell good." Mouthwash can remove food residue and some soft dirt in the mouth, reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth, thus reducing the risk of gastrointestinal disease. The correct method of mouthwash is to contain mouthwash or clear water in the mouth, close the mouth, and then stir the cheeks and lips to make the solution fully contact with the teeth in the mouth, and repeatedly wash all parts of the mouth with water, so as to remove the food residue and soft dirt left in the gaps of the teeth.

Rest for a while: "full of food, you will be sick". Many old people dare not lie down immediately after meals, but choose to walk, but this is not healthy. After dinner, the stomach is in a state of fullness. It is necessary to ensure that the gastrointestinal tract has sufficient blood supply for preliminary digestion. At this time, if you get up in a hurry and leave, there will be some blood concentrated in the exercise system, which will delay the secretion of digestive fluid and destroy the normal digestion of the stomach. The correct way is to rest for 30 minutes after meals before walking, which is helpful to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and secretion of gastrointestinal digestive fluid. For the elderly with gastroptosis, it's better to lie flat for a while after meals, because gastroptosis is greatly affected by body position and feels better when lying flat. If you walk immediately after meals, it will aggravate the damage of food to the stomach and small intestine, and easily cause dyspepsia or abdominal pain.

Rubbing abdomen: according to traditional Chinese medicine, the navel abdomen is equivalent to the intestinal gland of the pylorus gland of the stomach. Frequent rubbing can accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase gastric juice, help digestion and normal excretion. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, advocated "rubbing the abdomen with hot hands after eating" and believed that "rubbing the abdomen after eating can eliminate all diseases". After eating, rubbing abdomen can also be used as a kind of benign stimulation, which can be introduced into the brain through the nerve and is beneficial to the regulation of endocrine function. Specific method: with palms on the abdomen and navel as the center, massage slowly and gently clockwise and anticlockwise for 20 circles respectively.

As mentioned above, the four methods of kneading the abdomen, resting for a while, gargling first and listening to Xiaoqu are the methods that people can take to keep healthy after meals. If they can persist for a long time, the effect they can achieve is also excellent. Therefore, in daily life, we can start with some trivial matters in life and arrange related matters.
