But Very Few Understand the SCIENCE Behind it..
Here's A Detailed Insight into the Science of Happiness:

Simple Science of Eating for Everyone

However, among the growing urban population, the latest problem is Eating Disorder - which may be due to improper eating. While people in poor countries generally eat less and do more of physical work, so the result is their overall fitness, the people in prosperous regions do more of eating and less of physical work, which results in improper health.
We find increasing number of instances of diseases due to excessive eating, obesity and lack of digestion.
People eat to live a healthy life. However, some people live to eat. They develop such habits, which are actually harmful to them. Such habits cause disorders to them. Eating disorders are the instances of improper habits with regard to eating.
Examples of Eating Disorders:
There are many instances of eating disorders, a few examples are presented here: -
- eating too much at a time
- eating only one type of food
- eating too frequently
- eating too fast
- eating without appetite or having no appetite for food
- eating without properly relaxed posture
- eating very much spicy food
- eating improperly cooked or improperly baked food
- eating indigestible food or food which is difficult to digest
- eating food containing less nutritious contents
- eating old food
- eating incompatible food (food which are not compatible with each other)
- Eat fresh food: we should eat fresh food – which is enough warm (except for Icecream or other such products –which are eaten cold)
- Eat very slowly and comfortably: eat when you are very comfortable. Sit in a comfortable posture and eat with complete relaxation. Eat at slow pace so that each bite is properly chewed and properly digested. The purpose of eating should be careful chewing and careful digestion
- Eat variety of food: our body needs different types of nutritious contents, which cannot come from only a single type of food. Therefore, in order to have a balanced diet, we should eat a variety of food, which would supplement our body for its nutritious requirements
- Eating compatible food: eat food which is compatible within itself. Two types of food items which are not compatible with each other – can cause harm to us.
- Eating food to meet our nutritious requirements – we should prepare a dietary chart in consultation with dietitian and follow that. We should eat to meet our health requirements. Eating excessive or eating improperly can harm us.
- Eating at proper time gap: We should eat when we feel hungry. We should eat at proper time interval – which should contribute to our health. Eating too frequently often causes harm. Eating at improper gap also causes harm to us. We should ideally follow a proper schedule for eating so that we may experience proper health and wellness.
- Avoid temptation of taste and fashions: eating just for taste or just because others are eating a particular food can be harmful to us. We have to understand our own body’s requirements and take up food which is suitable to our own body and our health. We should eat for good health and not for good taste. Less spicy food may be good for our health, but may not be as tasty as spicy food, but we have to avoid taking spicy food, which may be harmful to our own health.

Dietitians and doctors should be invited periodically to guide common people about the science of eating. Good practices in eating would result in good health for common people and would also contribute to the overall health and fitness of everyone. This would also save a large amount of food, which is otherwise wasted away due to lack of awareness about science of eating.
