Everybody eats food, but there are some common bad eating practices we indulge in everyday that we don’t know are wrong. There are certain mistakes you unintentionally make when eating and some of these mistakes can cause you to experience some health complications.
So in this article, i am going to be listing some things you shouldn’t do while eating.
1. Watching TV.
Watching TV while eating is a very common practice a lot of people indulge in, but this is a bad habit because it causes you to not fully concentrate on your food and this can cause you to over eat, which in turn can cause indigestion or make you add unhealthy weight.
So next time when you want to eat, make sure you fully concentrate on eating first then afterwards you can watch TV.
2. Talking.
Another common habit that a lot of people indulge in is to talk while eating especially when they are around friends. But talking while eating is a bad habit that makes you not to concentrate on your food thereby causing you to under chew your food and when you under chew your food, it can get stuck in your throat and might even choke you.
So avoid talking while eating, rather focus on eating your food first then later you can talk.
3. Drinking water.
A lot of us are use to drinking water while eating, but this is not a good practice because when you drink water while eating that water can dilute the digestive fluids that breaks down food in your stomach thereby causing indigestion.
Indigestion can result in a much more complicated health issue, so make sure to take enough water some minutes before you start eating, that way it won’t affect your food digestion.
4. Feeling ungrateful.
Another mistake a lot of people make is to feel ungrateful especially when they don’t get the desired food they want. Before you start feeling ungrateful, remember that there are people out there that don’t have food on their table to eat, the fact that you are privileged to have food on your table is enough reason to be grateful so always be thankful.
5. Having Leftovers.
A lot of people usually waste food and this is because they collect a large chunk of food that is above their eating capacity only for them to end up dumping the leftovers of that food.
Dumping food or having leftovers is a very bad habit and it is frowned upon by society because there are people that can’t afford the food that you waste. Instead of wasting your food, give it out to someone that really needs it, that way you can put a smile on someone else’s face with the little you have.
