A
When was the last time you ate without doing anything else? Many of us eat while working, playing with phones, or walking around. Scientists call this “distracted eating”. Now we can eat anywhere, but this makes it easier to forget about our food.
When Dillen, a professor at Leiden University, and her workmates did studies in the Netherlands, they found that about 70%−75% of people do other things while eating. This habit may be bad for our health. Some studies show that when we don’t focus on eating, we often eat more and feel hungry again sooner. Over time, this can lead to weight gain.
★? When eating, it usually takes our bodies 20 minutes to send “full” signals(信号) to the brain. But if we’re distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can’t feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are absent.
In one study, some people drank sweet water while working out tasks in a brain scanner. When the tasks were hard, they felt the sweet water less sugary. Another study in 2021 also found playing difficult games makes food smell weaker.
Not enjoying food fully makes us unhappy. A study in 2024 showed people like fun activities less when distracted. To feel better, they might eat more.
So, putting down your phone during meals could help you eat less and enjoy more!
