It was just another lazy Sunday and Shashu, who is somebody who does all his chores of having his bath, spending some time meditating and later having his breakfast, was in a mood to skip all this and have his bath after enjoying his favourite breakfast made by his maternal grandmother. That's when .y mom said to him about the I'll effects of having bath post food. He got curious and asked me the reason behind. As, you all would have observed, I follow more of a factual and scientific policy of explaining things to my child. I don't believe in making up stories for the time being. This is the reason why u sit and try to explain things according to his understanding. So, just like fuel combusts to help a vehicle run, food is the fuel if our body and burns to generate energy. By bringing up combustion itself, it defines some process which happens in desirable higher temperatures. By bathing, we bring down the temperature of the body, which is not favourable for the food in rhe digestion process. This results in slow digestion, indigestion, and improper distribution of required nutrients to the body. In a long run, it makes the entire digestion process sluggish, if done often. Hence it is not preferred to take a bath post food. Also please note, my second one's voice in the background 🧐😜 Next in the segment, he asks why do we Burp after a meal? When we consume food or air, we normally tend to breathe in some air along with it. Also, when we chew food and drink water hastily, or keep talking while eating, excess air tends to enter our body. This excess air is expelled by our body before reaching the stomach,as burp. This process helps to save our stomach from excessive bloating. To avoid burping, we should hence chew and drink slowly, avoid speaking during eating.
