You’ve just had a satisfying bowl of laksa at the food court in Yishun. And you also had a plate of char kuey teow. Let’s not forget that icy cold Coke you just downed.

Burp!

Maybe you went overboard with lunch. Here’re 10 things you have to avoid after a meal that big!

Don’t Go For a Walk
Walking apparently causes stomach upsets and indigestion. It can even cause a bad case of acid reflux. The best time to walk is for about 30 minutes after your meal, and for just 10 minutes.

Why You Shouldn’t Shower Afterwards
A warm bath is bad for your body as it shifts your blood movement near your skin to cool your body, instead of allowing it to help your stomach.

No Cold Water after Eating
Icy cold drinks are going to distract your stomach from processing the food. Hot water is a better choice.

Fruits Before, Not After
The simple sugars in fruits affect your stomach by causing gastrointestinal distress and bloating. It’s best had before, and not after a meal.

No Caffeine
Caffeine actually gives the essence in your food a kick-ass beating. The best time to have tea is a solid one hour after a meal.

No Smoking Either
Yes, the bad effects of smoke are going to hit you full swing – stomach ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and shortness of breath.

Dance like A Pro Much Later Please
Moving too much after a meal is going to give your stomach a tough time in digesting your heavy meal. You might just throw up on the dance floor, and won’t that be an embarrassment!

Sleeping Beauty No-No
No prince charming is going to come and wake you up after a heavy meal. In fact, lying down horizontally is going to cause part of your digestive juices to flow back into your oesophagus. You’ll burn your inner oesophagal layer, which will be very discomforting. Not to mention the horrid belches!

Keep Your Belt As It Is
I am sure you’ve heard of the saying that you should never leave the dining table with a full stomach. It’s true, as you should not eat yourself to obesity.

Don’t Head to the Gym
Exercise is another no on the list. You’ll feel puffed up and uneasy, and nauseous too. The best thing to do after a meal is to sit back and relax for a good half hour. Read a book or the newspaper, and you’ll feel good after half an hour!
