drsanthoshjacob Sitting on the floor VS Dining table First let's talk about sitting on the floor. 1. Improves Digestion: This position can enhance digestion by naturally compressing your stomach and aiding in the smoother movement of food through your digestive tract. 2. Strengthens Muscles: Sitting on the floor in a cross-legged position strengthens the muscles of the lower back, pelvis, and legs, which can improve posture. 3. Promotes Mindful Eating: Eating on the floor can lead to more mindful eating practices, as it often requires more focus and can be a novel experience, leading to better awareness of hunger cues and food consumption. 4. Enhances Flexibility: Regularly sitting on the floor can increase flexibility, particularly in the hips and lower back. There is some research which shows reduced obesity risk in those sitting on the floor and eating. But a dining table is extremely useful for elderly who can't sit on the floor, sick people, those with arthritis or who have recently had surgery and those who cannot squat. But if you're fit and can sit on the floor, we should eat all or at least one meal on the floor. #malaysia #malaysiatiktok #doctorsoftiktok #sgsathiyarao #weightloss #squatting #eatingonthefloor #digestion
