The quality of a person's dietary habits directly affects the digestive functions of the spleen and stomach, as well as the absorption of nutrients. Here are a few healthy eating habits that can benefit your health.
Eating while standing: Medical studies on dining postures across different ethnic groups worldwide indicate that standing is the most scientific posture for eating, followed by sitting, whereas squatting is the least scientific. This is because when squatting, both the legs and abdomen are compressed, obstructing blood flow and thereby affecting the blood supply to the stomach.
Drinking soup before meals: Consuming a small amount of soup prior to eating is akin to doing warm-up exercises before physical activity. It activates the entire digestive system, prompting the digestive glands to secrete sufficient digestive fluids, preparing the body for food intake.
Consuming more cool foods: Scientists believe that lowering body temperature is one path toward longevity. Eating cold foods, like swimming or taking cold showers, helps maintain the body’s heat balance. To a certain extent, this practice can lower body temperature and extend cell lifespan.
