In many families it is customary to have dinner, lunch and even breakfast accompanied by TV.

If you don’t watch entertainment programs or TV series, you probably never let go of your smartphone, checking the latest news, chatting, and monitoring social networks.

As it turns out, this is an extremely harmful habit.

What is the reason for this opinion?

As it turns out, eating while doing other things is a surefire way to overeating. You can't focus on the food.

As a result, you can eat much more than your daily norm while watching a TV series.

The signal of saturation comes at a time when it is already too late, experts note.

This habit is especially dangerous in the evenings. The fact is that dinner should be as light as possible anyway. Experts often cite 500 kcal for the last meal.

If you forget about this recommendation, you can not only gain excess weight, but also significantly “load” your digestive organs before going to bed.

Therefore, eat in a calm environment and do not be distracted by anything.
