Avoid technological distractions

In this day and age it is very easy to get distracted with some sort of technological device or the other.
Does the ring of your cell phone or beep on your laptop make you drop everything you’re doing to take that call or check that email, or are you someone who sets aside your mealtime just for eating and focusing on the enjoyment of it?
Distractions may increase unhealthy snacking
According to Men’s Health, researchers at the University of Birmingham discovered that people who were distracted at mealtime ate significantly more unhealthy snack foods later on, as opposed to those who paid close attention to what they consumed.
Reasoning behind findings
It seems that if you are not attentive to the meal you are eating, your brain will not completely register the experience.
This may leave you less satisfied and thus you may be more likely to overeat. What’s worse is that the overeating may be on unhealthy snacks and this is not good for your overall health and weight.
