Like me, surely you are also passionate about eating. It doesn't matter that I'm preparing the food, I'll already be thinking about the next one, because few things can be enjoyed more than food.
However, despite loving food, I'm sure we didn't spend enough time and concentration on it. On the one hand, it often happens that we eat very quickly and when we have little left on the plate, we think about how short we have been. Also, keep in mind that in most of our meals we are paying attention to something else (a meeting, television, family).
How about eating with your non-dominant hand?
It doesn't matter if you are left-handed or right-handed, it is clear that you will have one hand much more skilled than the other. So to try to enjoy the food a little more (and everything in general), I suggest you change hands.
In addition to taking into account your eating patterns and the rhythm you eat, sometimes it is necessary to use certain obstacles to correct bad habits.
On occasion we have told you why eating slowly favors digestion and weight loss, which is why many people use certain techniques to control anxiety and eat more slowly.
It is true that self-control is not easy to achieve, so I suggest you eat with your non-dominant hand. That is, if you are right-handed, learn to eat with your left hand. Obviously, you will not have the same dexterity and you will look a bit clumsy the first few days.
By taking a little longer to pierce the food than to handle the fork, you will spend much more time eating and you will enjoy each bite.
Develop your brain power
Performing certain activities with the non-dominant hand is a perfect option to stimulate the brain. Since we are born, we are very pattern oriented and our body gets used to them. So you lose the ability to perform those same activities with the opposite hand that we've used for years.
When we suddenly challenge our body, the brain stays in shape and can help you develop some power that will help you with day-to-day tasks. Logically, it won't be easy to get used to it and you'll look a bit clumsy, but you'll end up giving your life a new vision.
In this case, I have told you about eating with your non-dominant hand, but you can try brushing your teeth, pouring water into a bottle, writing on your mobile phone or using the computer mouse.
