Question:

Why is it bad to stand up and eat?

I have read (and heard) that it is bad to eat food while standing....why?


Answers:
Yeh because it will go to your hips first

See, I heard it's bad to eat food while reclining, or laying on your stomach because it causes the food to settle in the part of your stomach closest to the esophageal sphincter, increasing the chances of developing acid reflux and causing damage to the esophagus. I haven't heard anything about not eating while standing.

i did not know that!!!! i do it all the time.... im guessing its because if you are standing you are not as relaxed as if you are sitting down to eat. i know at work i am inclined to be eating and doing something else at the same time.. hasnt done me any harm but i will be interested in finding out others answers to this one

Well it's certainly bad to lie down and eat, for digestion, but there's little difference between sitting and standing. It's bad, in the sense of table manners, to stand and eat especially if everyone else is seated.

AHHHHH
