A
A spoon of pickles (榨菜) can sometimes make a meal taste better. Recently, a new type of pickles is being discussed—"digital pickles". It refers to the videos people watch while eating and these videos make their food seem more delicious.
The topic received more than 16 million clicks on the internet and about 100,000 people joined in the discussion. Instead of having a good time with friends and family during a meal, many young people in China keep their eyes on TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is tastier with the "digital pickles".
Can this habit influence your diet? According to a research paper, you may eat more without noticing it. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating habits on four different days. The habits included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction. After studying their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased calorie (卡路里) intake by about 15 per cent.
The research team continued to study and they found the reason. When eating with the "digital pickles", our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
B
A research project pointed out that activities which need lots of attention would cause many people to overeat. The team invited 120 people to do different tasks while offering them drinks and snacks. "Our study shows that if you're eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a difficult task, it is less possible for you to tell how full you feel," one of the researchers Martin explained.
