The correct eating posture is actually a good time to keep in good health after meals, so many people are very concerned about what to do and what not to do after meals, which is very particular. Then let's share the correct eating posture with you.
Correct eating posture 1 Best posture: sit up and eat.
Of all the eating postures, the most scientific one is sitting posture, and it is the way of sitting up.
What is sitting up? In other words, the angle between the upper body and the thigh is greater than 90 degrees. In this way, people's abdomen will not be oppressed, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract.
Although standing can achieve the same effect, eating is a kind of enjoyment after all, and standing a little tired affects the taste of food.
Wrong demonstration: sitting/squatting to eat
Some people like to sit on a low stool or squat to eat, which is not in line with the way of keeping in good health.
When sitting or squatting to eat, the stomach is easy to be squeezed, and because of the bending of the lower limbs, the blood circulation is blocked, the process of supplying blood to the stomach is blocked, and the normal digestive function of the stomach is also affected, which is easy to cause digestive tract diseases.
Moreover, squatting on your legs is easy to get tired. When you are tired, it is difficult to chew slowly, and eating speed is often faster. Eat too fast, the food stays in the mouth for a short time, and it is too late to fully mix with saliva. Don't chew slowly. Swallowing will inevitably increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which will easily lead to indigestion and even gastric ulcer. Tip: Emotion can also affect diet.
Mood also directly affects eating. Because the appetite center is controlled by the brain and works by the feedback information from the stomach, you should keep a happy, focused mood and a good environment when eating.
Some office workers get up late in the morning, rush to work, have no time to eat breakfast, order takeout for lunch, and mechanically stuff food into their mouths at the computer. This kind of tension and anxiety not only destroys appetite, but also affects digestion and absorption.
In addition, it is also essential to concentrate on eating. In ancient times, there was an admonition that "don't talk loudly when eating". It is human nature to whisper occasionally when eating, such as making a scene and splashing your mouth, which is unsanitary and hinders yourself or others from eating.
Correct eating posture 2 1. Health and safety.
Sit up straight and impartial, and don't cross your legs when eating. This is not only respect for food, but also respect for yourself. Correct sitting posture, body and mind live in the present, and God will not be scattered.
Second, concentrate on eating.
When eating, stay focused. Don't look at your cell phone or think about anything else. In the Zen way of life, there is a saying: only do one action at a time. When walking, concentrate on walking; When eating, concentrate on eating.
If it is difficult to concentrate at first, you can try this method: after each bite, put down your chopsticks, concentrate on the food you are chewing and savor it. It is also elegant to eat like this, and it is also good for losing weight.
Third, chew slowly.
Don't leave the work that belongs to the teeth to the stomach.
In the process of chewing slowly, a lot of saliva will be secreted. Saliva is rich in amylase and lysozyme, protease can help digestion, and lysozyme has bactericidal effect.
Chewing slowly can also deliver more than 20% oxygen to the brain to avoid dizziness after meals.
Specific practice: chew three times before meals 100 times or more; When you have plenty of time in the future, chew each bite for more than 50 times. When time is not enough, it is best to chew more than 30 times per bite.
Fourth, pay attention to the first bite.
The physical and mental state of a person when eating the first bite of food is extremely important, because this step will trigger the operation of many cells and systems in the body.
The tone set at the beginning will affect the whole eating process. If at the beginning of the meal, our body and mind are in a stable and calm state, then the whole dining process will be very harmonious. This is why the first bite should be chewed slowly to 100 times or more.
Five, the heart of gratitude
Recite the words of gratitude before you start. The word of gratitude in my family is: "Thank you for the gift of nature and all beings".
We should eat gratefully. Thanks to the love and gift of nature, thanks to the hard work of growers and producers, and sincerely thanks to the life of the food sacrificed to nourish us.
Only with gratitude, the natural love between heaven and earth can nourish and purify our body and mind through food.
6. Don't be emotional when eating.
Getting angry is the most taboo when eating. Anger is anger, the liver dominates the wood, and the spleen and stomach dominate the soil. When you are angry, you can't eat, which is also the self-protection of your body.
If you eat in a bad mood, the food you eat will carry toxins, which is a great loss to your body and mind. Cooking is the same, don't be emotional, or the food will be poisonous.
Seven, don't waste food
A porridge and a meal, when thinking is hard won. This is the teaching of the ancients. Don't waste food, this is the basic accomplishment of diners.
When drinking porridge or rice, there will be residue attached to the bowl wall. At this time, you can use a little hot water and eat it after it is released. When eating out, order according to the number of people and actual needs, and pack the leftovers to take away. Behind food is precious life and effort, which should never be wasted.
Eight, clean up the dishes and chopsticks after meals.
It is the inertia of many people to get up and leave after a meal. Especially when eating out, it often leaves a messy scene, which makes the waiter have a headache.
Even at home, if you don't care about anything after dinner and give all the dishes to your wife or the person in charge of cleaning up, you may frown.
As part of the meal, we should tidy and clean the dishes and chopsticks. After eating in the restaurant, it is suggested to combine similar items to help the waiter clean up. I think the other party will be very happy when they see it. You can create happiness and emotion for others through a little effort. Why not?

Drink some porridge when you are particularly hungry. People have a strong appetite when they are extremely hungry, and they want to eat everything they see. In fact, at this time, the digestive function of the stomach has been damaged, and eating and drinking is easy to cause food accumulation. When you are particularly hungry, you should eat a small amount of semi-liquid food, such as porridge, noodles or rice noodles, and then slowly return to normal diet. Especially when you are particularly hungry, don't eat milk, soy milk, yogurt and sweet potatoes, which may cause digestive problems.
The interval between meals is 4-6 hours. Too long or too short an interval between meals will have an impact on the human body. Too long will cause a high degree of hunger and affect labor and work efficiency; The interval is too short, and the digestive organs can't get proper rest, which affects appetite and digestion. Generally, mixed food stays in the stomach for about 4-5 hours. Therefore, an interval of 4-6 hours between meals is more appropriate.
Eat your favorite food first. There must be something you like and dislike about the food on the table. Which should you eat first? Experts suggest that eating your favorite food first will make you emotionally satisfied. A happy mood can quickly produce a feeling of fullness and avoid overeating.
Don't think immediately after dinner. After a meal, the blood in the body will be concentrated in the digestive organs, and the brain will be relatively ischemic. Using the brain at this time will cause mental stress, memory loss and other problems, and may also increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, you must rest for more than half an hour after dinner before you can enter the working state. Listening to music and walking are good choices.
Don't say spoilers while eating. As the saying goes, "eat without saying, sleep without saying." Talking while eating will reduce the frequency of chewing food and reduce saliva secretion, thus affecting digestive function. A recent study in the United States pointed out that discussing complex or disappointing problems during meals will affect people's appetite and digestion, and we can talk about some simple and pleasant topics.
Have a hot breakfast. Nerves and blood vessels in the human body are still contracting in the morning. At this time, if you eat cold food, it may cause convulsions in the digestive system. Chinese medicine believes that hot food should be eaten for breakfast to protect stomach qi. It is recommended to choose hot porridge, hot cereal and hot soybean milk. Breakfast, with steamed bread, bread and other dry food staple food.
