Eating in Front of Computers Make You Fat

Eating habits in front of the computer turns out to have significant effect on your weight, which makes the weight increases faster.
According to the results of a small study, led by Jeffrey Brunstrom from the University of Bristol, UK, eating lunch in front of the computer can stimulate appetite, especially when eating dessert menu (dessert). In the study involved 44 men and women, scientists found that those who ate lunch while play a games are always close by to eat cake more hoses 30 minutes later. The amount of cake eaten more than the volunteers who ate lunch without interruption. Apparently, the problem is that computer users have a more vague memory of the moment of their lunch and feel less full after.

This research indicates that distraction factor such as computers and TVs can change the memory of the meal, which in turn gives the effect on appetite. Brunstrom said the memory of feeding activity will affect the amount of food we eat later. This research seems to support the suggestion that you should spend more time to be aware of what you eat. Some Buddhist groups assert that you should really aware of what you eat."When we remember the bad, then when we will face the next meal, we tend to choose and eat foods with higher numbers," says Brunstrom.
