4 habits that are extremely harmful to health

When eating, sharing chopsticks, spoons, and dipping sauce is a way to spread infectious diseases such as flu and mumps.

When eating we should focus on eating.

Eat and drink water at the same time

We often have the habit of drinking water or fruit juice during meals. According to nutritionists, this is an extremely harmful habit. Research shows that when there is too much liquid and food in the stomach, the digestive process will slow down.

Therefore, drinking any type of water while eating will affect the digestive process because it increases stomach irritation.

In addition, many people have the habit of eating soup with rice, this habit will make you lazy to chew, swallow faster, food in the stomach is still in a solid form, the stomach has to work harder to digest food. This can easily lead to chronic stomach pain.

Advice for you is that in the meal we should eat soup first, then eat rice and food slowly. The most suitable time to drink fruit juice is 1 hour before or after meals, this not only helps protect the stomach but also stimulates the process of food digestion.

Eating and using the phone at the same time

Smartphones have become an indispensable part of modern life today. Many of us have formed the habit of eating while using our phones to go online, surf Facebook without paying much attention to its unpredictable harmful effects.

Research shows that using your phone while eating will first distract your attention and affect your appetite; then it will affect the secretion of stomach acid and enzymes, making it impossible for food to be fully digested. This habit not only affects the stomach but can even disrupt the digestive system.

The advice given by doctors is that when eating, we should focus on eating and avoid outside activities that affect the meal. In addition to not watching TV or using the phone, you should also not talk too much.

Serve food to others

Serving food to others is one of the typical cultural features, showing the hospitality of Vietnamese people. However, this seemingly beautiful action is harmful to our health. Sharing chopsticks, spoons, and sauces is a way to spread infectious diseases such as flu, mumps...

Each person's mouth contains nearly 80 million different bacteria, including bacteria that cause hepatitis, stomach ulcers, etc., which can be transmitted through shared food. Moreover, the person being served may not necessarily like the food you serve them.

So during meals, we should limit picking up food for others. If we do, remember to rotate the chopsticks or use another clean pair.

Fruit dessert

We all know that eating fruit is good for our health. Many families often eat fruit for dessert right after a meal. This habit is one of the causes of bloating.

Moreover, because the food has been digested in the stomach, the fruits will take longer to reach the intestines. This causes a delay in the contraction, kneading of food and disrupts the digestive process. The advice for you is to eat fruit 1-2 hours before or after meals to help the digestive system work better.
