Post-meal Weight Loss Taboos
For your health and for successful weight loss, there are a few things you must not do after a meal!
Do not eat fruit immediately
Fruits contain flavonoid compounds, which are converted into dihydroxybenzoic acid by intestinal bacteria. When combined with thiocyanates from vegetables, these two substances can interfere with thyroid function, potentially leading to non-iodine-based goiter.
Do not drink tea immediately
Because the tannins in tea can bind with the protein and iron in food, forming substances that are difficult to absorb, such as colloids or precipitates. Over time, this can lead to iron-deficiency anemia and protein deficiency.
Do not smoke immediately
Because after a meal, stomach peristalsis speeds up, blood circulation increases, and capillaries dilate, which promotes the absorption of harmful substances from cigarettes. Smoking after a meal can absorb more than ten times the harmful substances compared to smoking at other times. Smokers, please pay attention to your health.
