Does lying down after eating help digestion?

Lying down after eating is usually detrimental to digestion. Lying down after eating is not conducive to daily food digestion, mainly because lying inactive will reduce the efficiency of gastrointestinal peristalsis to a certain extent, and lying down after ingesting food is a bad daily life habit. In the long run, the body’s metabolism will be reduced, indigestion and accumulation of food, bloating and other symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid lying down within half an hour after daily dietary intake, and should try to choose a standing position, or go outdoors for slow walking exercise to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and also pay attention to the balance of the type of food intake, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, to improve the digestive and metabolic capacity. Discomfort is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of a professional physician for treatment.
