Hand eating and benefits
We Indians love eating or better I would rephrase my statement
approx 80 percent of Indians are a foodie.
When it comes to food we don't like to compromise on its taste or quality. But what if I say half of Indians don't enjoy the real taste of the food which it can actually provide. We shy away from eating with our hands. It has been scientifically proven that eating with hands is most healthy.
But not talking in terms of health aspects, but when we mix food or let say rice and Curry with our hands, all different flavors of curry get mixed with rice and help us to enjoy food in a better way. When the fingertips come together in a bowl formation and touch food, the five elements are stimulated, along with the digestive juices, simultaneously nourishing the body, mind, and spirit. The direct touch results, as well, in a more intimate feel for texture, taste, and portion size, our saliva mix properly with the food and help us to enjoy the ultimate taste of the food. These things are definitely not possible with a spoon.
So, why to make it a taboo, do feel proud while eating with hands cause only you are enjoying its actual taste and not the other person.
