Eating and drinking while standing is actually not polite.
Besides eating and drinking in a state of standing can have adverse health effects.
The habit of drinking while standing it can be the occurrence of disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract.
During this time we may have a drink while standing occasionally, or maybe often. For that, if previously you often drink standing, then start now get used to sitting.
Because drinking water, of all kinds, is done while standing giving various hazards.
[SCIENTIFIC FACTS] Why Not Eat & Drink While Standing?
For that, in conditions sehaus anything, still make it a habit while sitting, so that will provide positive benefits for the body.
Resulting in severe kidney organ disorders
Medically, this body has a filter network (sfringer), which is a series of mascular structures that can open and close.
When we consume water, then the body will be filtered and then distributed at the filtering stations in the kidney organs.
The organs to filter this water will be active when drinking water while sitting, and the filtering tool is again inactive when in a standing position.
That way, imagine if you drink while standing! Resulting water will go straight into the bladder without going through the proper screening process.
The condition of the water directly into the bladder, if it occurs in the long run, leads to deposition in the ureteral tract, which poses a very poor risk of kidney organ disorders.
So keep in mind, that sfringer (filter in the body) only works when in a sitting position.
Long term effects of sedimentation in this ureteral tract, which creates a lot of incoming and remaining wastes in the ureter, which increases the risk of kidney crystal disease, which is a dangerous disease.
The problem of crystals / kidney stones is also triggered because in the urine there are crystal-forming substances such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, while the amount of fluid in the urine is small, so it is unable to dissolve the "crystals".
The concentration is high because the crystals that precipitate and stick together, until finally really formed a larger kidney stone.
If you experience kidney crystal problems then drink more water, then drink in a sitting position.
For uric acid crystal problems, avoid high-uric acid foods, such as meat extracts, melinjo and other dairy ingredients from melinjo such as emping etc., and avoid seafood.
For those who have problems with calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys, then avoid (limit) the consumption of milk, tofu and tempeh. And avoid consumption of spinach, alcohol or beer, sardines and chocolate.
Drinking while standing causes tense muscles
When standing the body is actually in a fairly tense condition, where every organ of balance in the nerve center will be active to work hard in maintaining all the muscles of the body in order to stay upright.
So eating and drinking in a standing position, this makes us unable to achieve serenity. Where calm (relaxed body) becomes important when eating and drinking, in order to obtain optimal nutritional benefits from food or beverages consumed.
Relaxed calm and body can only be done well when in a sitting position, nerves in a calm and not tense condition. It is useful for the work of the digestive system is good in receiving food or drink.
Drinking while standing is bad for the nerves
Food or beverages consumed in a standing position, causing a nerve reflection made by the widespread nerve reaction that scattered in the endothelial layer that surrounds the intestine.
If such reflection occurs violently and suddenly, it is at risk of causing severe nerve dysfunction. To the very worst is to turn off the heartbeat, fainting and even sudden death.
Stomach ache
When drinking while standing, the throat is narrowed and wrinkled, this condition makes it difficult for food to be ground smoothly broken on the digestive tract. As a result, the risk of causing pain in the abdomen.
Body balance disturbed
Drinking while standing causes the organ tissue on the central nerves to be compressed, so it is forced to keep working hard to stabilize the condition of the body in a tense state (this tense body condition is rarely noticed).
It causes the nerves of the body to become stressed and trigger the emergence of nerve dysfunction.
Bloated
The habit of drinking standing while causing water directly into the body without passing through the wall of the intestine well, so that it flows too fast. This condition causes the body susceptible to abdominal bloating, discomfort in the stomach, nausea to vomiting.
