Gastroenterologist and therapist Natalia Buldakova warns against lying down after a meal to avoid negative reactions from the digestive system.
According to the specialist, it is easier for the body to digest food while in an upright position, whereas lying down slows down the digestion process.
This can cause bloating, belching, or heartburn.
“It is usually recommended to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before lying down. However, if you want to rest a bit in a semi-reclined position, this time can be shortened,” the expert explained.
