With changing lifestyles, the trend today is for people to have their meals on dining tables. In ancient Indian culture, people had their meals sitting on the floor or on a mat or mattress.
This tradition was not just about sitting on the floor and eating, it was sitting in the “Sukhasan” position, a position used for Yoga asanas. When you sit on the floor, you usually sit cross legged - In sukhasana or a half padmasana (half lotus), which are the positions that induce a sense of calm and help in digestion. These positions are believed to automatically trigger signals to the brain, that help prepare the stomach for digestion.
Sitting on the floor and eating involves bending over, due to which the stomach gets pressed, and then straightening up. This constant cycle helps in the movement of the abdominal muscles, leading to the secretion of digestive juices, which further assist in the consumed food becoming easier to digest.
