Health Foods | Eating on the Run
Could eating on the run bad for your health? Studies have shown that eating on the go can have unwanted and unexpected consequences.
Eating on the go can some times be necessary and unfortunately many of us have eaten on the run without thinking it could be potentially harmful.
Eating to fast is a big factor here, we are taking bites of food at such a fast rate that our bodies can't handle it. Eating with speed can distract us from many things, are bodies are designed to take care of us and we refuse t let it. We can easily get distracted from the eating process, leaving us unaware of what we are even eating.
There are some studies that show eating on the run can lead to our body not registering how much food we require to be full, leading us to feel as if we did not even eat and making us want to eat more.
Not only that but we also lose the ability to fully enjoy the food, by eating fast we do not taste are food as well as we do eating at a slower pace. This can leads to not knowing what we are truly ingesting.
Long story short, what your eating is not the only thing to consider when you take that bite.

Not to mention that if you are getting food from fast food restaurants or gas stations, then you can bet the quality of it will be very low.
The past looks good, but it's not very good for you. In addition, it's not just yours.
Eating on the go definitely negatively affects the digestion of food.
In fact, not to overcomplicate, but digestion is a parasympathetic function. That means that it occurs when we are relaxed & calm. That's why food digests very well when we sleep.
Most people in society today, on the other hand, are primarily using their sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight.) This is very harmful for health because this agitated state should only be used for emergencies. Since many people's lives are filled with stress, worry, malnutrition, sleep deprivation, lack of meditation, etc, their bodies are telling them "this is a life or death situation" almost all the time!
Of course we can easily reverse this situation by learning to make better decisions about our health. I like the graphic that you shared at the bottom, the "Rules for healthy living." I hope you have a great day and thanks for sharing this post :)
Thanks so much! Hope you have a great day as well.
