Eating while standing has become a common habit in todays busy lifestyle, but its effects on digestion and weight loss are mixed. Research suggests standing may speed up digestion and slightly increase calorie burn, potentially supporting modest weight loss over time. However, it can also lead to faster hunger, bloating, and digestive discomfort, especially for those with reflux or food sensitivities. Experts recommend combining upright posture with mindful eating—chewing thoroughly and eating slowly—for optimal digestion and health benefits.
