Simple things and habits can have a great impact on our lives. Similar is the case with habits that we do after eating lunch or dinner. These little habits can have a huge impact on your health. Some people like to sip tea after their meals and smokers like to have a puff, but is it correct?  Not only this there are a lot of other things that should not be done after a meal. Check out the list of things that you should never do right after you have stuffed your belly:

• Eating fruits

Most Indians have a habit of eating fruits after a meal but it is not a healthy idea at all as it might not be digested properly. It is recommended to eat fruits on an empty stomach, or maybe an hour before or after a meal.

• Running

Running right after having a full meal can lead to cramping and digestive problems.

• Drinking tea

For some people sipping a hot cup of tea after a meal is a habit. But according to some studies, it can prevent your body from absorbing iron from your food. It can also interfere in the digestion process.

• Shower

Taking a shower right after your meal is not correct. The blood tends to rush to the skin to regulate the temperature of the body which results in digestive issues.

• Smoking

Smoking is obviously injurious to health at any time of the day. But if you smoke right after a meal it binds with the required oxygen indigestion, making your body absorb more carcinogens. One cigarette after a meal can increase the risk of cancer.

• Brushing

Brushing your teeth before going to bed is important but right after a meal can damage them. You are actually posing threat to your enamel when you brush your teeth after a meal. Rinse your mouth after a meal and brush after at least one hour.
