<\/p>\n While Enayat\u2019s approach to longevity is more of a philosophy for how to live than separate pieces of advice, his opinions food and eating stood out to me. Here\u2019s what he recommends.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n 1. Eat at a table with others<\/p>\n Many of us eat on the go, with a takeaway coffee in one hand and a pastry in the other, walking and eating at the same time. Or we often eat quickly, hunched over our desk or the dashboard.<\/p>\n While the pressures of modern life mean that this feels like the default option, Enayat stresses that the environment you eat in should be as nourishing as the food you consume.<\/p>\n \u201cEat at the table, if you can, with loved ones in conversation,\u201d he says. \u201cEat with friends or family when you can, as opposed to in isolation on the move in your car.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the practical advantages of eating with other people is that conversation tends to make us slow down, meaning we are less likely to overeat and miss our body\u2019s cues that we are full.<\/p>\n Eating seated is also better for the digestive system. If you experience conditions like acid reflux or indigestion, remaining seated after eating, continuing the conversation, will give your body the time it needs to move food through your digestive tract.<\/p>\n
