We often feel discomfort in our digestion after having an oily meal. To tackle this problem, today we bring you the seven things you should avoid after an oily meal for healthy digestion. Tap to learn!

OVEREATING

Overeating with oily foods often results in displeasure as well as digestion problems. That's why you should limit your portion sizes.

IMMEDIATE EXERCISE

Engage in light exercises instead of engaging in heavy physical activity immediately afterwards since it impedes food digestion.

SLEEPING

Sleeping just after eating fatty-rich food can lead to heartburn and cause acidity. You should walk for 10–15 minutes after an oily meal.

TIGHT CLOTHING

Wearing tight clothes just after eating oily foods can make your body uncomfortable and can cause indigestion.

DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER

Hydration is important, but drinking too much water immediately after a meal could weaken digestive juices.

STRESS-FUL ACTIVITY

Stressful activities are diverted, hence diverting some amount of blood away from the digestive system.

SMOKING

Smoking immediately after meals impairs digestion and increases several health risks.

CONCLUSION

You can avoid these things after eating oily foods to prevent acidity and other problems. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
