Eat Without Distractions: In your childhood, you too must have been scolded by your parents for not watching TV while eating food… However, still most of the houses eat food while watching TV. Then whether news channel runs or any daily soap. Apart from this, now even mobile has become a major reason for distraction while eating food. Most of the people feel that watching TV while eating is forbidden either because of the problem of getting hooked or because they cannot enjoy the taste of food. Very few people know about the real side effects of doing so. Here it is being told about them…
What is the right way to eat food?
In Ayurveda, the correct way of eating has been told that you should sit on the ground and eat food with a calm mind and eat food with hands, not with knife, spoon and fork. Because eating food with hands puts pressure on certain acupressure points, which calms the test buds and promotes the secretion of essential hormones.
However, in today’s time, it is not possible for most of the people to sit on the ground and eat all the three meals a day. So do it whenever you can. But do not use TV, mobile, laptop etc. while eating food. Because doing so is taking away your fitness, mental peace and emotional health from you.
What is mindful eating?
When you keep your full attention on your food while eating, it works to improve both your mental and physical health. Because when your focus is only on food, then you are able to feel its taste, its aroma and the pleasure of taste buds, due to which a different level of satisfaction is felt, which helps in hunger management. It is also called the satiety that comes after a meal.
If you concentrate on food only, then you eat after chewing properly, this improves digestion. Because there is not much pressure on the intestines and liver. When you eat by keeping calm and focusing on your food, then your eating speed automatically slows down and you enjoy eating food by chewing it properly. This prevents overeating and eating less makes the stomach feel full quickly.
