La scienza dietro il mangiare con le mani<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondo il dottor Pallatheri Nambi Namboodiri, direttore del Nagarjuna Ayurveda Hospital, nello stato meridionale del Kerala, nell'India meridionale, mangiare con le mani contribuisce a mantenere un metabolismo equilibrato, un fattore cruciale per il benessere generale. Utilizzando le mani ogni senso riceve nutrimento.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa salute dipende da quanto \u00e8 buono il proprio agni (metabolismo). Anche spiegando il trattamento in Ayurveda, \u00e8 stato detto che la protezione del metabolismo \u00e8 la chiave di tutti i trattamenti. Una volta che il metabolismo \u00e8 mantenuto in equilibrio, una persona rimane in equilibrio. Quando discutiamo di salute ottimale, anche il senso di soddisfazione ne \u00e8 parte integrante. Tutti i nostri sensi sono ugualmente nutriti e soddisfatti della buona salute\u201d, ha detto il dottor Namboodiri Quotidiano medico.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIl tatto \u00e8 un senso molto importante attribuito alla salute. Quando mangiamo cibo, vediamo il cibo, ne odoriamo e parliamo anche di cibo. Tutti e quattro i sensi prendono parte al processo. Se mangiamo con le mani includiamo anche la sensazione tattile\u201d, ha detto.<\/p>\n

Per quanto riguarda i potenziali benefici, il dottor Namboodiri ha sottolineato che mescolare il cibo con le mani \u00e8 il modo migliore per esaltarne il gusto giusto, che ha i suoi benefici terapeutici nel bilanciare i \u201ctridosha\u201d (tre energie fondamentali che governano il corpo umano, chiamate \u201cvata, \u201d \u201cpitta\u201d e \u201ckabha\u201d in Ayurveda).<\/p>\n

\u201cIl riconoscimento del gusto di diverse consistenze avviene quando usiamo le mani per sentire il cibo. Sentire prima il cibo con le dita ci aiuta a conoscere la temperatura del cibo (troppo cibo caldo o freddo sulla lingua non fa bene alle papille gustative). \u00c8 anche utile per migliorare la coordinazione dei movimenti fini\u201d, ha spiegato il dottor Namoboodiri.<\/p>\n

Ecco cosa dicono gli studi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Un 2019 studio<\/a>, pubblicato sul Journal of Retailing, ha scoperto che quando le persone dotate di buon autocontrollo toccano il cibo direttamente con le mani invece di usare le posate, non solo lo trovano pi\u00f9 gustoso e soddisfacente, ma ne mangiano anche di pi\u00f9.<\/p>\n

\u201cI nostri risultati suggeriscono che per le persone che controllano regolarmente il consumo di cibo, il tocco diretto innesca una risposta sensoriale potenziata, rendendo il cibo pi\u00f9 desiderabile e attraente\u201d. disse<\/a> ricercatrice Adriana Madzharov dello Stevens Institute nel New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Secondo uno studio del 2022 mangiare con le mani aiuta a raccogliere informazioni utili sul cibo, tra cui freschezza, grado di maturazione e temperatura pubblicato<\/a> sull'International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science.<\/p>\n

Gli studi lo dimostrano mangiare velocemente<\/a> provoca squilibri di zucchero nel sangue nel corpo e aumenta il rischio di diabete nelle persone. Quando una persona usa le mani, rallenter\u00e0 il ritmo del mangiare poich\u00e9 \u00e8 un processo pi\u00f9 consapevole. Ci\u00f2 d\u00e0 al cervello abbastanza tempo per rispondere quando \u00e8 pieno, migliorare la digestione e bilanciare lo zucchero nel sangue.<\/p>\n

Gli anziani con difficolt\u00e0 motorie alimentari potrebbero avere difficolt\u00e0 a maneggiare le posate, manipolare il cibo nel piatto e trasportare il cibo alla bocca. Mangiare con mani<\/a> e il passaggio ai finger food potrebbe essere utile per loro.<\/p>\n

For people used to cutlery, trying the hands-on approach might be a whole new dining experience. If you're interested in experimenting with the tactile art of eating, it's better to understand the potential health advantages it holds.The science behind eating with handsAccording to Dr. Pallatheri Nambi Namboodiri, director of Nagarjuna Ayurveda Hospital in the southern Indian state of Kerala, eating with hands contributes to maintaining a balanced metabolism, a crucial factor for overall well-being. When using hands, every sense receives nourishment."Health depends upon how good one's agni (metabolism) is. Even while explaining treatment in Ayurveda, it has been mentioned that protecting the metabolism is the key to all treatments. Once the metabolism is kept balanced, a person stays in balance. When we discuss optimum health, contented sense is also an integral part of it. All our senses are equally fed and contented for good health," Dr. Namboodiri told Medical Daily."Touch is a very important sense attributed to health. When we eat food, we see food, smell food, and also talk about food. All the four senses take part in the process. If we eat with our hands, we also include the tactile sensation," he said.Regarding the potential benefits, Dr. Namboodiri pointed out that mixing food with hands is the best way to bring out the right taste, which has its therapeutic benefits in balancing the "tridoshas" (three fundamental energies that govern human bodies, called "vata," "pitta" and "kabha" in Ayurveda)."Taste recognition of different textures happens when we use our hands to feel food. Feeling food first with the fingers helps us ascertain the temperature of food (too much hot or cold food on the tongue is not good for the taste buds). It is also beneficial in improving fine movement coordination," Dr. Namoboodiri explained.Here's what studies sayA 2019 study, published in the Journal of Retailing, found that when people with good self-control touch food directly with their hands instead of using cutlery, they not only find it tastier and more satisfying but also eat more of it."Our results suggest that for people who regularly control their food consumption, direct touch triggers an enhanced sensory response, making food more desirable and appealing," said researcher Adriana Madzharov from Stevens Institute in New Jersey.Eating with hands helps one pick up useful information about the food, including its freshness, ripeness and temperature, according to a 2022 study published in the International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science.Studies show that eating fast causes blood-sugar imbalances in the body and raises the risk of diabetes in people. When a person uses their hands, it will slow down the pace of eating as it is a more conscious process. This gives the brain enough time to respond when full, improve digestion, and balance blood sugar.Older adults with motoric eating difficulties might find it difficult to manage cutlery, manipulate food on the plate and transport food to the mouth. Eating with hands and switching to finger foods might be beneficial for them.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/it\/larte-di-mangiare-con-le-mani-lesperto-ayurvedico-spiega-la-scienza-dietro-i-suoi-potenziali-benefici-per-la-salute\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-26T11:01:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Scritto da\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Tempo di lettura stimato\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minuti\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"Art Of Eating With Hands: Ayurveda Expert Explains Science Behind It, Potential Health Benefits\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-12-26T11:01:29+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":540,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/12\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Medical Daily\"],\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/art-of-eating-with-hands-ayurveda-expert-explains-science-behind-it-potential-health-benefits\\\/\",\"name\":\"Art Of Eating With Hands: Ayurveda Expert Explains Science Behind It, Potential Health Benefits -
