Those who like to eat while reading a book or watching TV are warned about the health consequences – the habit leads to extra pounds.
But eating with a phone in your hands will also not lead to anything good.
Nutritionist Olga Titova explained in an interview with NEWS.ru why you shouldn’t eat with your phone in your hands.
Just like with a book or TV, the phone also distracts the brain.
But the problem is that mobile communication devices often come into contact with surfaces that are full of bacteria.
It is enough to simply answer the call while on public transport or in a store.
Because of this, bacteria accumulate and multiply on the surface of smartphones.
This can worsen the effects that occur with distracted eating.
Therefore, the expert advises to give up gadgets during lunch and enjoy the taste of food.
Otherwise, a person begins to chew food faster, unconsciously, and the brain cannot recognize signals of satiety in a timely manner.
By following these simple rules, you can improve your digestion and maintain your health.
