Show What c Oo X1Hr Eating. Should one He Jov.ti after mcai-and. mcai-and. if so, should one sleep' D Schule, an assistant of Baumlcr t. Freiberg, has analyzed the contents of the stomachs of two norma! sub-s sub-s removed several hours after an I I ical 'est meal of bread and dls-Uled dls-Uled water, followed in one instance by sleep, in the other by simple rest in a horizontal position, says the London Lon-don Post. Schule show-s that sleep during digestion always results in weakening the motility of the store ach and increasing the acidity of the gastric juice, a fact attributed by him to the irritation caused by the chyme's remaining adbnormally long in the stomach. He has also remarked that simple repose in a horizontal position, nr.t accompanied by sleep, stimulates the gastric function without increasing increas-ing the acidity. |
