Watching mobile phones while eating has become a routine habit for many people. Eating with screen distraction leads to mindless consumption, causing overeating and poor digestion. It interferes with natural hunger and fullness signals, increasing the risk of acidity, bloating, weight gain, and long-term metabolic issues.
This habit also reduces meal satisfaction and weakens social interaction, especially affecting children’s eating patterns and attention span. Practicing mindful eating—focusing on food, chewing properly, and avoiding screens—can significantly improve digestion and overall well-being.
Is your phone controlling your mealtime more than your health?
