Do you have an upset stomach no matter what you eat? Perhaps the way you eat is also important if your stomach often acts up. Additionally, your gut health might be silently ruined by your eating habits. Because the negative effects can include weight gain in addition to digestive problems, it's critical to monitor your diet. Therefore, being aware of how you eat might help if you're trying to lose weight or simply want a more relaxed stomach.

On Instagram, nutritionist Shalini Sudhakar, who often provides advice on gut health, shared on May 28 about crucial daily eating habits that are silently disrupting your gut.

1. Drinking water 30 minutes before mealtime

Drinking water makes you feel fuller, which is why it was considered a smart hack to drink water before meals to eat less. But turns out, instead of helping with portion control, this may backfire and spike your cravings later in the day.

Shalini added,“This fills you up faster and signals your brain a false sense of satiation, which disturbs your digestive juices, and this leads to a lot of cravings and binge eating for the rest of the day. ”

2. Watching gadgets while having meal

Regardless of the size, whether it's a phone, tablet, laptop, or television, it's now instinctive to grab for screens during mealtimes. It's easy to overindulge and consume larger servings when you're scrolling, texting, or binge-watching, which can cause you to gain weight. This worry about how weight increase is a significant side effect of screen use during meals was highlighted by the nutritionist.

"It is scientifically proven that your gut-brain connection is totally disrupted when you are eating and watching gadgets," she stated. As a result, your brain and stomach do not know when you are satisfied. In other words, you're gaining weight daily because you're eating more than your body needs.

In addition, you're more inclined to eat quickly, chewing very little and swallowing your food, as you're so preoccupied and almost glued to your screen. "Focus on chewing the food really very well, which is very important for breaking the food down and getting maximum nourishment from the food you eat," the nutritionist advised.

3. Not finishing your meal with a probiotic

Finally, a discussion on a healthy gut cannot be considered comprehensive if it does not address probiotics. Foods high in probiotics, such curd, are beneficial to the gut and aid in digestion.

"It's basic old grandma wisdom," Shalini said. "Without this friendly bacteria, you can't easily digest or absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat."
