Episode 2897:

Alina Petre explores how eating while standing affects digestion, metabolism, and hunger levels. While standing may speed up digestion and slightly boost calorie burn, it can also increase hunger, cause bloating, and lead to faster food consumption. For those with acid reflux, standing upright while eating could help reduce symptoms, but individuals with food sensitivities may experience digestive discomfort.

Quotes to ponder:

"Eating while standing may promote increased metabolism and may help with a small amount of fat loss."

"Individuals with reflux or heartburn may benefit from standing upright while eating to allow food to digest faster."

"Your posture can affect how quickly you digest food. Digestion is slowest when you’re lying down and quickest when you’re standing up and moving."
