Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Is eating in front of the TV really that bad for you?
Do you watch TV or your mobile phone while eating a meal, especially
dinner? Since most people have a longer or unlimited time for dinner, they tend
to eat as long as the TV program or video lasts. In fact, you tend to become unconscious
about how much, how long, or even what you’ve eaten if you eat and watch at the
same time. You then don’t enjoy the food you ate while eating it more than you
should. Also, sitting on a sofa while watching TV and eating a meal is such a
sedentary behavior that could cause overweight, type 2 diabetes, or heart
disease. Controversially, if you need to eat a certain food you don’t like so
much, watch TV or your mobile phone while eating, and you’ll unconsciously eat
it. But if you want to enjoy the meal, turn off the TV set and focus on your
meal. The choice is yours.
