Pranam Q1 sure you have to improve your eyesight . Q2 " Up until about 100 years ago the average male life span the world over was 35 to 40 years. Women lived a few years longer." Any evidence tangential?. I know in my family and some of my school and college mates families who lived since 1700 AD died only after 80 including grand mas. India - Adult mortality between age 15 and 50 years 17.19 (deaths per 100 population) in 2020. People die at a young age all the time. And mortality is so high when there were no doctors of today who lived for 400 years generally. If you hold any stat pl publish; if hearsay say so. KR IRS 1222 Q7 We have a whole range of Indian traditions <https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/heres-what-the-ancient-practice-of-sprinkling-water-around-food-meant-1826701> that are now forgotten or have evolved over the years. It's kosher to say that some of these have changed for the better, but not others. One of these traditions is the basic practice of eating using our hands, now replaced mostly with the use of shiny cutlery. Though most of us may have turned to spoons and forks, some still like to eat their meal with hands. Back in ancient days, this practice was adopted by most civilizations including Indus valley, Greek and the Egyptians. It is believed that as per the Vedas, hands are the most precious organs of action and that every finger is an extension of the five elements - through the thumb comes space, with the forefinger comes air, the middle finger is fire, the ring finger signifies water and the little finger represents Earth. According to Ayurveda, the nerve endings of the fingertips are believed to boost digestion. In fact, you become more aware of the textures, taste and aromas as you eat using your hands and engaging the fingertips. Eating with your hands has more health benefits than eating with spoons. If you haven't given this a thought, we have your back. 1. Eating With Your Hands Helps Increase Blood Circulation Eating with hands itself is an excellent muscle exercise, which in turn increases blood circulation. The excessive movement of the hands may help keep the blood flow smoother. 2 Our body is believed to have bacteria or flora, which resides in places like hands, mouth, throat, intestine and gut that protects us from harmful bacteria growing in the environment. When we eat with our hands, the friendly flora protects our digestive system from getting exposed to harmful bacteria, further stimulating the digestive system. This doesn't mean you forget to wash your hands before and after you eat! 3 3 According to a study published in the journal Appetite, when people ate by hand while simultaneously reading a newspaper or watching television, they were less hungry during snack-time, and opted for a lighter snack. Researchers concluded that eating by hand promotes a sense of fullness and satiety as compared to eating with cutlery. This, in turn, could help lose some kilograms.
4 According to a study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition, people with type-2 diabetes were more likely to be fast eaters who used cutlery to eat, as compared to people without the condition. Eating with spoons and forks correlates with faster eating that has been linked with blood-sugar imbalances in the body, further contributing to the development of type-2 diabetes. So, ditch the utensils and instead eat with hands that will ensure slow down consciously. 5 Eating with hands makes you eat slower than eating with cutlery, which is a much more mechanical process. You have to pay attention to what you eat when you eat with your hands, which makes you aware of how much you have eaten. Mindless eating is one of the biggest factors of gaining weight; hence, managing food portions plays a key role. Moreover, using your hands makes you experience the food better and enjoyable. So, what have you been waiting for? Toss the cutlery away and begin eating your favourite dishes in the gold old way to ensure a healthier you! And next time, don't toss away an old practice till you don't read up on all the facts!
