As early as more than two thousand years ago, Confucius put forward that "eat without words, sleep without words". It means you can't chat while eating; You can't talk when you sleep. So, why "eat without talking?"

The scientific principle of "eat without talking, sleep without talking" will make you excited and fidgety before going to bed, which will affect your sleep.

Eat without talking.

When people eat, the digestive system works orderly under the unified command of the brain. Salivary glands and gastrointestinal glands constantly secrete digestive juice, which accelerates gastrointestinal peristalsis and promotes digestion and absorption. There are two reasons for "eating without talking":

1, so that nutrients can be fully absorbed.

If you talk while eating, it may lead to food entering the gastrointestinal tract without adequate chewing. Nutrients are hard to be absorbed by human body. For example, vitamin A is a nutrient that the human body needs very much. People who lack vitamin A will suffer from stunted growth or dry eye skin.

2. Reduce the burden of gastrointestinal tract and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

On the other hand, if you talk a lot while eating, or read and think while eating, it is bound to swallow the food that has not been chewed, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Mild people can cause stomach problems, and long time may cause digestive system ulcers and suffer from gastrointestinal diseases.

Sleep in silence

Sleep is an important event in a person's life. It can turn the central nervous system that has been active during the day from excitement to inhibition, so that brain cells and organs can get a full rest and completely eliminate fatigue. If you talk too much before going to bed, or think about many problems, you will be too excited and still can't calm down after going to bed. The cerebral cortex is still in a state of tension, and it can't sleep for a long time, which will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also affect physical and mental health. So "don't talk too much before going to bed", that is, don't talk too much before going to bed, put aside all the distractions in your mind and calm down your mind, so that you can meet the work in high spirits the next day.
