Let�s get right to it. Using screens at meals is a problem because it makes us gain weight.
People who use screens during meals. Eat more during the meal. Snack more after a meal. Eat faster. Don�t pay attention to their level of fullness. Don�t enjoy the meal as much.
83% of Singaporeans use their mobile or other screen during meals, even though more than 50% of Singaporeans find it annoying when others use their mobiles during meals.
Managing screen time during meals promotes healthy eating habits, decreases the amount of food we eat, and helps us build healthy relationships with each other. All we need to do is build the habit!
