How do you eat your PB&J sandwich?
Usually, when you think about a peanut butter and jam sandwich, you think you are going to see two yummy spreads on two slices of bread, sandwiched together to form a sandwich... but that was not the case for this man...
Eating with your hands has long been a traditional act in many cultures. But did you know that eating with your hands "contributes to healthy eating and overall wellbeing"?
"According to food and health experts, eating with your hands goes beyond mere tradition - it's a health-conscious choice! Ayurveda teaches us that eating with your hands is not only hygienic but also beneficial for your senses and digestion."
Each finger is associated with one of the five elements: "Space (thumb), air (index finger), fire (middle finger), water (ring finger), and earth (little finger). So, when we eat with our hands, the gesture activates these elements and thereby 'balances the energies in our body'." (Food NDTV)
Touching our food with our fingers sends signals to our brain that we are ready to eat. This in turn prepares our stomach and our digestive organs to take heed of the process of digestion.
"Eating with hands also helps us to be more mindful of what we eat, how much we eat, and how fast we eat, which are all important factors for healthy digestion." (Food NDTV)
In essence, eating with your hands is good for you.
One wife was concerned after seeing how her husband eats peanut butter and jam . Usually, people eat this classic combo in a sandwich, but he had a unique way of eating it.
Instead of slapping these two spreads onto slices of bread and sandwiching them together to form a sandwich, he dished out spoonfuls of each spread onto a plate and ate it as one might eat a curry. He used the bread to scoop some peanut butter and jam and then ate it.
