【No. 0763】You will become a cow if you lie down soon after eating.
Jan 19, 2017 10:14
There is a famous superstition in Japan as the following:
"You will become a cow if you lie down soon after eating."
In fact, I was also taught like that.
I have no idea why it is a cow, but I think that it says "you will get fat like a cow."
Lying down soon after eating is regarded as a bad manner in Japan.
Therefore, in order to admonish such behavior, this superstition was born.
However, according to a medical study, lying down for about 30 minutes soon after eating is good for your health -- it will play a role in the digestive process.

食べた後すぐ寝ると牛になる
日本には、次のような有名な迷信があります。
「食べた後すぐ寝ると牛になる」
実際、私もそのように教わりました。
何故「牛」かはよくわかりませんが、「牛のように太るぞ」ということを言っているのだと思われます。
食べてすぐ寝るのは行儀が悪いとされているため、そのような行為を戒めるためにこの迷信が作られました。
しかし、医学的な観点からすると、食後は30分ほど横になって寝たほうが、消化に良いそうです。

Regarding superstitions we have one that you shouldn't bathe/shower/shave soon after having a meal, it's supposedly very dangerous.
The time varies from 1 to 3 hours.

We also think that taking bath/shower soon after having a meal is danger, but I didn't know about shaving.
