After a long day at work, watching TV at the end of the day helps most of us relax.
Though majority spend most of our day in front of a computer but we
all make it an habit to watch TV while having our dinner as it helps us
to unwind from the day’s stress but most of us don’t know is that
watching too much of TV is also not a good idea.
“So the next time you want to sit in front of your tv with your food, just remember these points”.
You tend to eat more: “It goes without saying that if you eat in
front of TV you end you having more than what you eat in a regular meal
because, your mind is distracted when you watch TV and hence, you fail
to realise how much and what you are eating and you also do not know if
you are full or not as you are engrossed in watching TV when having
meals”.
You tend binge on junk food: When you watch TV while eating you might
choose quantity over quality, which means you end up eating more of
junk foods that is loaded with calories.
You are at risk of obesity: Studies have shown that dining or eating
while watching TV put you at a high risk of obesity most especially in
kids and also sitting in front of the TV for long hours will not only
slows down your metabolic rate but also leads to accumulation of fats in
your waist region which automatically increases your risk of obesity.
“So instead of spending long hours in front of TV and chewing your food
slowly, make sure you eat your meals first and then watch TV, the same
rule applies for kids as well due to the risk of childhood obesity”.
You might not feel satiated: “When you sit in front of the TV and
eat, the concept of mindful eating doesn’t apply because, when your mind
is focussed on watching TV, it blocks the feeling of satisfaction and
even though you might have eaten a lot, you end you feeling unsatiated
because sitting in front of the TV and eating is just the same as
putting things in your mouth mechanically without realising how much you
have eaten so at the end of the day, you end up filling hungry and tend
to eat more”.
