If the digestive system is strong, the body gets many nutrients, various body functions are smooth, energy is provided, and the immune system is also strong. Apart from this, mental health is also good.

Ayurvedic doctor Diksha Bhavsar Savaliya has posted a video giving some tips on what mistakes to avoid after eating and how to keep the digestive system strong. If you follow these tips, it will help you stay healthy.
- Don't sleep immediately: Many people have the habit of sleeping immediately after eating. Doctors say that you should not do this at all. Because if you do this, the body's metabolism slows down, which means that the digestive system slows down. Digestion does not get better and then the stomach gets upset.
- Drink Plenty Water: Doctors say that you should avoid drinking a lot of water immediately after a meal. Do not drink water before or immediately after a meal. This does not improve digestion.
- Avoid swimming or prolonged walking immediately after meals, as this can increase vata and hinder digestion. Avoid studying immediately after meals, as it can hinder concentration and digestion.
- Avoid bathing: You should avoid bathing immediately after a meal. You can take a bath after about 2 hours. Taking a bath immediately after a meal lowers the body temperature and therefore does not improve digestion.
