1. Eat only when hungry.
Healthy eating requires eating only wne hungry. This is to prevent eating disorders; overeating, emotional eating,
and obesity that leads to loads of health problems.
2. Wash both hands up to the wrists before eating.
A healthy eating habit for standard
hygiene, to prevent infection.
3. Don't clean the hands with a towel after washing.
This may convey infection from one person to the other particularly viral diseases like infective hepatitis or
bacterial infection like typhoid, dysentry and cholera.
4. Eat localized food.
Eat the food that is grown in your area. Locally grown fodder
contains all the appropriate nutrients for the climate that you live in. Medicine in the food is also suited for
bacteria that is locally produced. This is also the same for seasonal foods. Freezing what is produced in the
winter season to be eaten in the summer time may result in ingesting medicine at the wrong time, which is harmful
rather than healing.
5. Take a pinch of salt before eating.
Taking a pinch (just a pinch!) of salt before every meal help to sterilize the stomach. Salt turns into
hydrochloric acid in the stomach, killing any harmful bacteria. It also helps to gear up the acid needed to digest
the food.
6. Eat with three fingers.
It is scientifically-proven that eating with three fingers, that is the thumb and first two fingers, cause one to
eat bit by bit and hence help in digesting the food. If you are from a culture that uses folk and spoon, take bits
of pieces, and not a huge chunk at a time.
7. Eat what is in front of you.
If you have to stretch to get the food, stretch out after the other person has drawn his hand back. This is out of
politeness to other people at the table.
8. Eat slowly.
Taking small bites is healthy eating, Chew well and don't reach for more until first swallowing what have been
taken.
