The Silent Killer

How do you intake your food? Is it with the help of cutlery or hand?

Who will make his hands dirty by eating from hands? Well I do as often as I can 😀

I am still looking for those people who created the standard of eating via cutlery . Apart from being losing healthy benefits, there is nothing wrong with eating from the spoon. Ever wondered, what actually happens when we eat via hand?

According to Ayurveda, our fingertips are believed to boost digestion. In fact you will be more aware of the texture and taste while consuming through the hand. While eating from fork, we eat way too quickly and as a result we have less time to chew. As we have less time to chew it significantly impact our digestive system. Just experiment tomorrow how quickly you are able to eat the rice or curd through hand.

Eating from hands increases blood circulation. While eating from cutlery do we use all the five fingers. The less we are in touch with our own body parts, the more lethargic they will become. While eating from hand there will be a sense of satiety and fullness which is rare via spoon. Hence, we end up eating more. That’s how eating via hand may help you reduce weight. Tough to believe but it works. But who will make the hands dirty.

There are many more benefits. But the focus is not the benefits. It’s on what makes us want to eat via cutlery instead of our own hand. Is it because of the standard? Is unhealthy standard good for us? Just as smoking is a charm. What will the dignitary think, I don’t have manners to eat via the cutlery? Well while eating via cutlery aren’t we disrespecting out own hands? But yeah the hands will be dirty 😛
