benefits of eating whilst sitting on floor??

the cross legged posture is a asana, and there is a logical system to sitting on the floor and eating. it aids in keeping your mind relaxed and also helps in digestion.

 

The cross legged position while sitting on floor to eat is supposed to increase blood flow to digestive system and increase digestion. I used to enjoy doing so especially in marriages, etc. One of the things I miss in this busy life.

 

IT is padmasana,though not completely done.

How clever were our ancestors ,everything got a very valid n significant reason.

Why do we eat with hand?

we eat with our hands because the five elements within them begin to transform food and make it digestible even before it reaches the mouth. This transformation also heightens the senses so that we can smell, taste and feel the texture of the foods we are eating.

 

When you sit straight and bend, come forward to have your food, your abdomen muscles are made to work which stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes to aid good digestion.

 

Agreed....

 

clearly explained...thanks

 

Very good explanation!!!! Can feel it!!!

 

The food intake also will be less if you eat on the floor instead of dining tables.

 

Also, if we eat by hand, we get natural immunity because of germs in the hand.
