Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It takes the brain about 20 minutes to shut off the urge to eat. If you’re a fast eater, you’ll consume more food in 20 minutes than a slow eater. By the time a fast-eater gets the satiety signals, it’s too late-they have overeaten and are uncomfortably full.

Detailed explanation-2: -One reason for having to wait 30 minutes to drink after eating is to prevent the diluting of digestive enzymes. These enzymes are vital to the process of digestion. Watering down these enzymes disrupts the process and can cause problems like acidity and heartburn.

Detailed explanation-3: -Experts recommend waiting at least three hours after you’ve eaten to go to bed. This allows your body time to digest your food so you’re not up at night with an upset stomach, indigestion, or acid reflux.

Detailed explanation-4: -Healthy Eating Habits Avoid laying down after eating: Keep upright for two to three hours after meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort and aid digestion.
