Is eating while watching TV harmful to your health?

Harmful to the body.

Eating while watching TV can cause stomach dysfunction, stomach trouble, and obesity due to lack of exercise after watching TV for a long time.

Reason:

1. Eating while watching TV is often full of enthusiasm, absorbed, forgetting or not wanting to eat, and often "full" after watching it. This "hunger for food" is not only harmful to the stomach, but also easy to cause "gastrointestinal biological clock" disorder. The results of expert research have confirmed that long-term exposure to color TV radiation will cause gastric dysfunction.

2. People who are distracted or wolfing down their meals, due to the visual and auditory attention shift, are not focused when eating, and the information that the brain center receives satiety may be ignored, and they unconsciously consume too many calories. Compared with people who concentrate on eating, watching TV during meals will eat 272 calories more, which is equivalent to a bowl of rice (280 calories).

Taboos at the dinner table:

(1), eating while watching TV.

Researchers suggest that attention should be paid to eating, and it is best to turn off TV and other distractions, which is also conducive to full chewing, easy to control weight and avoid the risk of chronic diseases.

(2) Talking about work at the dinner table

Many people seize the opportunity to educate their subordinates or children as soon as they eat. Experts point out that it's okay to talk about household words at the dinner table, but if you talk about work, business and exam scores at dinner, it may hinder the digestion and absorption of food. Because people concentrate on thinking, or when mental stress is high, autonomic nervous function is inhibited, blood supply to digestive tract is reduced, and gastric peristalsis will slow down. Especially for people with weak digestion and absorption function, eating wholeheartedly, relaxed and happy will help food to be fully digested and absorbed.

(3) Never leave your mobile phone for a moment.

Many people and even teenagers are used to mobile phones, and they can't stop making phone calls, texting and updating Weibo WeChat. It's the same when eating. Often the food is delivered to my mouth, and my eyes are always staring at my mobile phone, and I don't notice what I am eating at all. It is found that if parents allow their children to play mobile phones during meals, their diet structure is often simple, they prefer high-calorie foods, are prone to malnutrition and have a relatively poor family atmosphere. Therefore, the researchers suggest that it is best to stop using electronic products when eating, especially for underage children, and parents should limit their behavior.

(4) Eat in anger

Eating with negative emotions such as anxiety and anger can also damage health. On the one hand, negative emotions may reduce gastrointestinal function and cause indigestion. On the other hand, it may also promote the secretion of gastric juice and pepsin with high acidity, which is easy to damage gastric mucosa.
