But this habit is very bad for people's health. André Spicer, a behaviorist professor at Cass Business School in London, said that from morning to afternoon, people's work efficiency will be reduced, and a person's attention can only be concentrated for a limited time, and it will take some time to recover. "Lunch is a relaxing time, which helps to restore his attention. “
20 12 a study by the university of surrey shows that it is easy to eat too much at work. Jane Ogden, one of the researchers and a professor of health psychology, said that working during meals will distract people's attention to food, the brain can't remember what they have eaten, and the body's perception of food will also decline. In the afternoon, it is easy to feel hungry and start eating again.
Besides, it is also a bad office culture. Some employees think that even working during lunch time is a sign of hard work. Gradually, this makes employees who leave for dinner feel pressure, fearing that employers think their workload is light and they have time to eat and rest. In fact, eating while working is inefficient and harmful to the health of employees.
Nutritionists explain that because people are busy now, they seldom have time to eat at the dinner table, but they often need to eat on the way to work or while watching TV/computer. This will make the brain receive some wrong information, thus producing stress hormones and increasing the activity of the brain to process other information received by the brain. This will not only lead to indigestion, but also lead to flatulence and other symptoms. Therefore, she suggested: don't eat in front of TV/computer, and also suggested that people practice a calm diet more. That is to say, take a few deep breaths before you start eating, then seriously think about the appearance and taste of your food and try to mobilize all your senses to "enjoy" the food. In this way, people's brains will get the information that they are about to eat, thus starting the digestive system.
