This would probably help you understand why,
The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach's juices before food gets there. This connection goes both ways. A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut.

Don’t eat or drink it then! If your stomach says no on the first taste, then don’t eat or drink it. Eat three small meals with a snack in between should help get your stomach back in shape. Eat healthy! Have a fruit in between meals, a package of crackers with peanut butter or cheese, or a bowl of a fresh vegetable or a steamed vegetable make for a good in-between snack too! I’ve never had an appetite since the day I was born. I don’t get hungry. I had to train myself on how to eat and when I need to eat to keep something in my stomach at all times.It’ll sustain your energy better throughout the day instead of in short spurts that’ll wear you out within minutes.You’ll feel better too! I hope it works for you too!

As a former retired Certified Personal Trainer I recommend staying active, if possible. This is a great time of the year to include this info your daily routine.
After dinner is a nice time of day to start.

Physical activity gets the body physically tired; this helps induce a deeper sleep pattern. Activity also creates an influx of fresh oxygen into your pulmonary system, while creating a feeling of relaxation to help relieve unwanted stress.
