Stroke
The results of a study conducted University of Ioannina, Greece, found that behavioral sleep immediately after eating can increase the risk of us having a stroke. Study involving 500 healthy people found that respondents who had the longest interval between eating and sleeping have the lowest risk for stroke.

There are two theories that could explain these results. First, acid reflux happens when we get to sleep after a meal may increase the occurrence of sleep apnea or breathing stops during sleep which can cause a stroke.

The second theory suggests, a stroke can occur due to the hard work of our digestive system which affects the increase in blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels which in turn could trigger a stroke.
