Washing your hands before meals and rinsing your mouth after meals are very beneficial to your health. People are familiar with hygiene knowledge and good habits. However, only knowing these two points is not enough. To develop good habits when eating, you must also pay attention to the following 8 points:
Talking and joking while eating
Talking and jokes while eating, the energy is not concentrated, the food is easy to swallow, not only does it taste bad, but it is also difficult to digest, which increases the gastrointestinal burden.
Swallowing is a highly coordinated action composed of a series of reflex activities. After the food is chewed to form a bolus, the tongue rolls and pushes the pharynx, which stimulates the sensory nerve endings in the pharynx, causing a series of muscle reflex contractions in the pharynx.
First, the soft palate is raised, and the back wall of the pharynx protrudes forward and is closed. The passage of the pharynx and nasal cavity prevents food from entering the nasal cavity by mistake.
At the same time, the larynx is lifted up, so that the epiglottis cartilage covers the passage between the pharynx and trachea, and breathing is temporarily stopped, so that food does not mistake the trachea.
Gradually push into the stomach. If you casually talk and laugh while eating, the food will not only stray into the nasal cavity, but the epiglottic cartilage will not cover the passage of the pharynx and trachea, and the food will enter the trachea, causing a violent cough, until a foreign body is coughed up.
If you can't cough up, it will cause a foreign body in the trachea, and it will also be dangerous, so don't talk and joke while eating.
Chew food with one tooth
Some people like to chew food with one tooth. If they form a habit, one side of the face will gradually become plump and one side will collapse, forming facial deformities. Therefore, when eating, the teeth on both sides should take turns chewing food.
Don't squat to eat
Some people like to squat on the ground to eat, this habit is not good. When squatting to eat, the thighs and knees often press against the abdomen, increasing the pressure in the abdominal cavity, so that the esophageal wall is easily damaged and disease occurs over time.
Read book while eating
Some teenagers like to read while eating, which is also a bad habit.
Reading while eating will distract the brain. Not only is the best meal tasteless, it hinders the digestion and absorption of food by the gastrointestinal tract, but also the learning effect is not good.
Eating too fast
The food enters the stomach without chewing it, which will increase the workload of the stomach. It will easily lead to gastric problems over time. Chewing slowly and carefully will not only help digestion, but also lose weight, but if you eat it, it is easy to gain weight.
Eating too hot food
Food that is too hot can easily damage the mucous membrane of the mouth and esophagus. The injured mucosa is prone to disease.
According to research, too hot food is a common cause of oral cancer and esophageal cancer.
Eat too much
It is more appropriate to eat eighty-nine minutes full of each meal. If you eat too much, your stomach will swell.
The stomach wall is tight, and the peristalsis of the stomach is difficult, so that the food cannot be fully mixed with the gastric juice, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of the food.
In addition, eating too much and excessive nutrition will make the human body obese, which not only affects the beauty of the body, but also easily leads to the occurrence of diseases such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer.
It is also easy to affect the lunch break after eating, or the night Sleep.
Eat regularly and quantitatively
The meal time is relatively fixed, and the digestive glands in the human body can secrete enough digestive juice in a timely manner, so that the food can be fully digested.
If the meal time is not fixed, it will affect the secretion of digestive juice, cause digestive disorders over time, and even get gastrointestinal diseases. When you eat, you should be roughly quantitative. If you are hungry and full, irregular, it will also affect your digestive function.
