7 DON'T after a meal
1. Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
2. Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
3. Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4. Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
5. Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6. Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7. Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Wow! Never knew about the fruit and tea thing. Damn! That may change the way I eat.
Include references please - some of the language doesn't seem like ones researchers would use, which may indicate that wherever you got this info from may have exaggerated or worse.
Lack of references to this list. It looks made up and written by someone who hasn't studied digestion or basic biology.
Please do not take this kind of "health advice" without educating yourself. For instance, several studies actually encourage having tea with a meal. The Chinese have been doing it for thousands of years, anyone think of that? A recent study on green tea shows it to interact with fatty acids during digestion, to prevent absorption and actually lower the amount of fat and cholesterol in the blood. No mention of proteins was involved.
