Do you have any idea what to do after eating? If you are on a diet, you should do something in order that what you have eaten will not become fat and increase your weight or make your belly bigger. When you are treated special lunch at the best restaurant, for instance, you are tempted to eat more, especially when it is time for you to eat and you are already starving. Most people in this situation forget the danger of eating too much. Or they may remember it but say to themselves, “For this time only, its okay, no problem,”

If you really cannot avoid eating much, there are things you should do after a big meal. Make sure you rest after a big meal to enable your digestion works better. Do not attempt to work involving heavy physical activities. At least allow one hour after eating.

Do you realize that after eating you normally feel tired? This is simply because when you eat, your brain directs its energy to the digestion system; red blood cell is shunted from the brain to help digest the foods and absorbs the food nutrition. For this reason you are suggested to rest for 15 to 2o minutes. Just sit down but try not to doze. This is good to avoid fat from accumulating.

After eating such a big meal, you are usually lazy to stand up from your sitting position. Force yourself to stand up and take a few minute walk. Keep in mind that you must not walk too hard, as your digestion is still working. Light walking is better as it can improve your digestion system.
Drinking green tea also helps digestion system work well. The tea will get rid of uncomfortable feeling in your stomach because of eating too much

.

Last but not least, drink warm water right after eating. Warm water helps reduce your weight. Then allow 30 minutes to rest before you drink again. You can also add lemon mixed in your drink as it will help improve digestion system. The lemon acidity will burn fat and prevent stomach problem. Lemon is also known to accelerate your digestion.
