Since ancient times, the way people eat has evolved round after round, so that today, there are many ways to eat, such as sitting, squatting and kneeling. There are so many ways to eat that many people are curious and want to make a comparison. What is the healthiest way to eat?
Science has proved that everyone should eat standing up from a purely health point of view, because food can be swallowed and digested better when standing up, especially for those friends who often have heartburn, pantothenic acid and other stomach discomfort, it is most appropriate to choose to eat standing up, because standing up can reduce the pressure on the stomach and lower abdomen and try to avoid gastric juice and food from flowing back to the esophagus.
Having said the healthiest way, let's look at the unhealthy way. Obviously, squatting to eat is easy to oppress the legs and abdomen, resulting in blocked blood flow, thus causing insufficient blood supply to the stomach and affecting the digestion and washing of food by the stomach. This way of eating is rare. Generally, only some farmers in remote mountainous areas or northwest China still keep this habit.
Now in China, most people choose to sit and eat. When the human body is sitting, the stomach will feel relaxed and comfortable, so eating in this position will make people feel more relaxed. Generally speaking, sitting posture will not hinder the absorption and digestion of food. The only disadvantage of sitting down to eat is that you often eat too much if you are not careful.
In addition, in the process of eating and drinking, how to match is the most reasonable? Scientific research shows that it is better to drink water several times an hour or so before meals, with the least amount of water each time, generally about 200ml, and then drink it for the second time every ten minutes. In this way, on an empty stomach, water usually stays in the stomach for a few minutes, then quickly enters the small intestine, where it is absorbed into the blood, and after a few minutes, it will be distributed to the tissues and cells of the body.
Drink water before eating, and when eating formally, the water can just reach a balance, thus ensuring that each digestive organ can secrete enough digestive juice to stimulate appetite and help digestion. In this way, you have drunk the most water before eating, so you don't need to drink soup when eating.
In short, only eating and drinking reasonably and adopting a reasonable diet are more conducive to health. Although many people think it is inappropriate to eat standing up and feel too tired, they are unwilling to do it even if they are healthy. Especially when everyone at the same table is sitting and eating, it is really inappropriate for you to eat standing alone.
When we stand here for dinner, you can make a proper choice. For example, friends with poor gastrointestinal function can take a standing posture when eating at home. After all, it is good for the stomach and health.
