Is this true?
I'm fifteen. In a hurry to leave to the bus stop, I usually make breakfast quick and eat it standing up by the counter. My mom always complains about it, and once she told me that it's not good for my health to eat while standing. Lately I've been wondering if that's true, or she's just telling me that so I will eat slower.
I feel dumb, but does eating while standing really affect your health?
Thanks!

Yes, it is quite true. THere are two reasons why:
1) If you eat while standing up, you tend to rush, it has scientificly been proven that when you eat fast, you gain more calories than when you eat slower. So eating in a hurry makes you gain more weight.
2) If you stand up eating, it will change the way you digest your food. Usually people that stand up eating choke on their food more easily.

Yes, it is true. I learned that at college health class today. It is said that when eating you should relax and be still or it could cause problems and make you gain weight. You dont got to stop standing while eating forever now, but i wouldnt do it as often.

LOL! My mother used to tell me the same thing! I always thought it was true until one day I asked my stepmother, who is a doctor. She said it is not true. Now that I'm a grown up, I eat standing up when I want to, but I ALWAYS think about my mother whenever I do.

Eating too quickly is never a great idea - increases choking possibilities, can make you feel sick, could lead to over eating and probably means you aren't chewing your food thoroughly either - which in the long run could cause you stomach troubles.
Sitting down would probably slow you down a bit, and that would be a good thing. Her reasoning might be wrong, but her suggestion is a good one.

Your mother is full of shit. Eating too quickly you might make yourself feel sick or eat more than you need to before the full feeling kicks in, but there's absolutely nothing to her claims.
