It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood, there were lights, all colors, and ornaments (飾品) shining against the green of a pine.“Where did it come from?” I asked.“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldnt have had one just for myself, but when in great needsuch a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon.”The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(難看) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.“Its not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didnt know where to look for a better one.

It is true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. However, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (擾亂) digestion. It might influence the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和膽汁) that are necessary for proper digestion. Whats more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down （減慢）digestion. So try to avoid drinking water at least an hour after a meal, and avoid drinking it while eating.Though walking after eating is healthy, doing it at once after a meal is not. Doing so will make it difficult for the digestive system to take in nutrients (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) from the food. Besides, the blood will flow towards other parts of the body, like legs, hands, etc. That will make the digestive tract(消化道) not have enough blood flow for proper digestion. So we should wait for at least 2 hours after eating, and then begin exercising.Sleeping should also be avoided right after eating. This is because going to bed right after a meal will lead to improper digestion. Whats more, such a habit will also make you put on a lot of weight. Therefore, wait for an hour or two, and then go to sleep.Many of us have the habit of drinking tea just after lunch or dinner, which is really unhealthy. The tea leaves are rich in acid which prevents the protein（蛋白質(zhì)）in the food from digesting. The best time to drink tea is at least one hour after eating.Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the stomach with air and well feel uncomfortable. They will also take time to reach the digestive tract, disturbing the whole process of digestion. To protect your stomach from digestive problems, eat fruits before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.In a word, if you avoid doing all the above things after eating, you will surely make your digestion easy, and you will be less likely to have digestive problems.Things to avoid at once after eatingDrinkingwater Drinking water at once after eating or during a meal may disrupt digestion by _ the natural levels of acid and bile.
