Mistake 7: Going to bed right after dinner
Many older adults have dinner, watch television for a while and, in less than 20 minutes, they are already in bed.
It seems like a quiet habit, but it has consequences:
The stomach is still working and needs a lot of blood to digest.
By going to bed so early, circulation is redistributed to the abdomen and momentarily less blood reaches the brain.
The next morning the heavy head appears and the instability when getting up.
I remember Don Alfredo, 72 years old.
He would get dizzy just when he got up, the rest of the day he was fine. The problem wasn’t the morning, it was the night: he had dinner and went to bed right away.
