 How often can you see that people look at food almost like a tiresome job. They are indifferent to the conditions in which food is taken, they do not always leave enough time to calmly, leisurely breakfast or lunch, eat very quickly, between times, on the go, they do not know the need to observe, as I.P. Pavlov called them, "Food rules".
Meanwhile, their implementation is of great hygienic importance, wherever a person has to eat: at work, on a train, on a walk, on a camping trip, on the water, in the air and even in space.
Eating should be started as calm as possible. Therefore, before eating, after work, it is advisable to have at least a little rest.
Everywhere the act of eating is hedged in a certain way, as if breaking out of the course of ordinary activities, said I.P. Pavlov. Everything is calculated to distract from the thoughts and worries of the current life and focus on the upcoming meal.
Therefore, you should not eat at lunchtime at the workplace - for this there is a buffet or canteen. Wherever the family sits down at the table - in the common room or in the kitchen-dining room, it is necessary to create a "appetizing" atmosphere for eating. A beautifully served table, a clean tablecloth, quiet, pleasant music have a positive effect on a person, and dispose to food.
Before you start eating, you need to quench your thirst. Before eating, if it is without a liquid dish, it is therefore useful to drink a little water, bread kvass, vegetable, fruit or berry juice. This promotes better secretion of the digestive glands and has a beneficial effect on digestion.
It is known that any extraneous activity interferes with normal digestion. Maybe you shouldn't follow the old adage that says "When I eat, I am deaf and dumb", however, do not have serious conversations at the table or argue, read or solve crosswords. But to talk about something pleasant, to moderately joke and laugh is even useful.
Good mood, good mood is very conducive to the digestion process: "The good and the rusk are in favor, but the evil is not even good for the meat", says folk wisdom.
Few people know that the faster food is eaten, the worse it is digested and absorbed. Therefore, you need to eat slowly, without haste, as they say, "with sense, with feeling", carefully chewing food.
Hastily eaten and poorly chewed food does not mix well with digestive juices, it is less digested and absorbed. It is known that with good chewing of food, its digestibility is 15-20% higher than with a quick meal. Well Chewed - Half Digested, says the saying.
 Chewing food is highly dependent on dental conditions... It is known that bad teeth contribute to the development of diseases of the digestive tract. This is due to the constant irritation of the gastric mucosa and intestines by poorly chewed food. Therefore, it is important to treat and replace teeth in a timely manner. Even if all teeth seem healthy, it is necessary to see a dentist twice a year. To prevent food residues in your mouth from rotting, you need to brush your teeth, especially in the evening, before going to bed, and rinse your mouth with water after each meal.

You should not eat very cold and especially too hot food, as this irritates the lining of the esophagus and stomach and can lead to chronic diseases of the digestive system. For hot food and drinks, a temperature of about 60 ° is recommended, for cold food - at least 9-12 °.
After eating, it is very helpful to take a walk or sit outside, using part of your lunch break, before starting your usual work. The lunch break is intended not only for food, but also for relaxation, while some spend it on work or household chores. If you do not waste the remaining time, you can catch up during your lunch break and relax - take a walk, read newspapers.
For the normal functioning of the digestive organs, timely removal of feces from the intestines is essential. Regular bowel function contributes to better elimination from the body of undigested food residues and harmful products formed in the intestines during digestion. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the chair is at least once a day, always at the same time, preferably in the morning.
The activity of the intestine is influenced by the diet and composition of food. So, the regular work of the intestines is favored by the observance of the correct routine of meals, sufficient consumption of lactic acid products, rye and gray bread, as well as vegetables and fruits, especially raw.
One more hygienic rule should not be forgotten. To always have a good appetite and a well-functioning digestive system, you need to do morning exercises, gymnastics, sports, and physical labor.
