People usually feel drowsy after eating. However, doctors do not recommend going to bed immediately after eating.
According to experts, this can cause serious disorders in the body.
Thus, people who sleep after a meal have an increased risk of reflux esophagitis. If the stomach is full, food may fall from the stomach back into the esophagus while lying down. Unlike the stomach, the walls of the esophagus are not protected by a special mucous membrane. The sour mass burns the walls of the esophagus, causing inflammation and erosions. If this condition persists, the risk of esophageal cancer increases.
The mass in the stomach can fall not only into the esophagus, but also into the larynx and respiratory tract, which causes inflammation and chronic cough.
After a meal, a person lying down has a high blood sugar level, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in the future. People with diabetes should not sleep after eating.
During sleep, all processes in the body, including digestive processes, are slowed down. This leads to indigestion, slowing of metabolic processes and weight gain.
