6 Things You Do After Eating a Meal That Mess Up Your Metabolism


To prevent that from happening, it’s highly advised that you limit your sweet intake. If possible, try to skip having a dessert, but if you can’t help it, then opt for a healthier alternative, such as fruits. These are as sweet as other sugary treats, minus the sugar. Likewise, it can also help in improving your digestion.

Exercising Right Away
Exercising after meals would definitely affect your metabolism in a way where it would prevent the body to absorb the food nutrients it needs while making the blood pressure go down, and could even affect the impaired cardiac function. As much as possible, wait for at least 2-3 hours after eating before you start working out. By doing so, you’ll be able to burn the calories and lose weight.

If you have done this before, you probably noticed that you still feel full when you wake up. That means that the food you ate has not been digested at all. Studies also show that when we sleep, our metabolism slows down, and that’s why it’s not really advisable to go to sleep after eating.
