Whenever lunch starts, in addition to the running figure of the delivery boy, what Uncle Monster sees most are the TV dramas, online dramas, American dramas, and short videos that appear on the computers of his colleagues.
The origin of "entertainment side dishes"
The bad habit of "must see something when eating" started from a New Year's Eve dinner when I was a child.
Besides having something to watch, I also have to drink something sweet, otherwise I have to get fruit instead.
In fact, the habit of eating and watching programs is not unique to modern people. It can even be traced back to the Stone Age .
When humans first learned to use fire, most of the food was barbecued. The barbecue process at that time was not as cumbersome as it is now. It was basically just inserting a stick and roasting it on the fire before eating it. So when cooking the food There is a lot of free time in the process of cooking food;
With awe of nature and gratitude for food, humans began to dance around the fire to offer sacrifices to . Even today, some nomadic people still retain this habit when eating.
With the development of farming civilization and industrialization until the arrival of modern science, most people have little access to primitive creations such as fires, so activities such as worship, singing and dancing have also decreased.
But no matter what period, things like "mustard" can be traced.
For example, starting from the Great Zhou Dynasty when China was unified, singing and dancing before banquets became standard for princes and nobles. By the end of Qin Dynasty, there was also the famous "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance".
The real popularization of combining entertainment with food may have started in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively poor compared to other dynasties in history, the economic strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was the strongest.
In this environment, the entertainment industry has ushered in unprecedented development, including playing, singing, shouting, and performing tricks, reciting poems, playing chess, and amusing people.
As this habit has been popularized and passed down, people's entertainment methods have become more and more popular in modern times;
I have the impression that our parents already like to eat while watching TV, and the older generation will flip through newspapers to eat breakfast.
In our generation, it is actually a continuation of traditional habits. The concrete products of different eras are different. Perhaps the next generation may even have "quantum mustard" or "yuan mustard".
If you are used to "electronic mustard"
Although eating while doing other things is a "bad for health" behavior, it is a person's freedom whether to do it or not. We can persuade but have no right to interfere.
So if you are really used to "electronic mustard", instead of using various scientific basis to explain the harm to you, Uncle Monster might as well introduce to you some relatively less harmful ways for you to improve step by step.
First of all, when we eat, the blood needs to be concentrated in the stomach. If you are distracted to do other things, the blood will be dispersed;
For example, if you play games while eating, the blood will be dispersed in your stomach, hands, and brain, which will have a great impact on the digestive system .
If you just watch videos, it is also recommended not to watch content that will make your mood fluctuate greatly . You can watch some daily, slightly funny content, preferably food series, such as "The Lonely Gourmet" and "Midnight Diner".
If you must eat while watching videos, you also need to pay more attention to your diet. Oily meat, eggs, milk and vegetables with more fiber account for less, and potatoes, pumpkins, fish and other easy-to-digest foods account for a larger proportion, which will help your digestion.
The situation will improve later and can also be improved slowly.
PS: Electronic pickled mustard is a term that Uncle Monster has only heard of recently, but the ACG circle has had "instant noodles" for a long time.
