　　How about eating snacks while watching TV?

　　When a person assumes a curled-up posture, intra-abdominal pressure increases and gastrointestinal peristalsis is restricted, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food and bile excretion. Sitting for a long time after meals hinders the absorption of bile acids, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of cholesterol to bile acids in bile, and cholesterol is easy to be deposited. Coupled with sitting on the sofa and eating sweets or melon seed snacks, too much sugar stimulates insulin secretion and increases the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and the cholesterol content in bile. Melon seeds contain a large amount of crude fiber and unsaturated fatty acids, which will bind bile acids and reduce their "enterohepatic circulation"; unsaturated fatty acids can increase the synthesis of prostaglandins in the gallbladder, making bile more viscous, and thus prone to the formation of gallstones.

　　Therefore, do not sit on the sofa after a meal, nor curl up to watch TV. It is also not advisable to eat too many snacks such as sweets or melon seeds while watching TV.
