From hygiene to esotericism: is it possible to eat from common utensils?
Do you often meet people who like to delve into someone else's plate? Perhaps you yourself are among them? Do you know how dangerous this is? Let's see why it is impossible to eat from one plate, we learn the opinion of doctors and psychologists in this regard.
Omens
From time immemorial, people have noticed that many things can harm (or, conversely, bring good luck) to their owner. It all depends on the energy that has accumulated in the subject during use.
It is believed that if a good person with a positive aura used dishes or cutlery, then she will have the appropriate energy - and vice versa.
Therefore, from the point of view of esoterics, the use of one dish by several people can lead to various consequences:
- The widespread interpretation of the signs "eat from one plate" says that people who decide to share the meal in this way will not be able to exist in good relations for a long time - in the near future, there may be contention between them.
- Another interesting interpretation says that when you take food from a common plate, you will soon learn all the secrets and secrets of your “dinner partner” - just as he will soon learn about your secret intentions.
- A popular reason why you should refuse to share food from one plate is the energy impact on each other. This is especially bad in cases where your energy fields do not coincide, have different characteristics. The consequences can be different, ranging from a headache to more serious health problems.
However, it is worth noting that there is an option when such a meal will take place without consequences: for married couples, people united by love bonds, such meals are not terrible.
A significant role is played by cultural features in this matter. For example, in the traditions of India and China, they often eat, laying food from common dishes. In France, on the contrary, this is not welcome.
Eating from one dish requires coherence: each of the participants in the meal should take care not only of his lunch, but also that everyone has enough food.
Hygiene
Believe it or not, fans of esotericism are everyone's personal business. But pay attention to the rational side of the issue is necessary in any case. Do not forget that the use of common utensils or cutlery is wrong in terms of hygiene standards. This is a real threat of disease.
- The oral cavity serves as an entrance gate for infections. Their list is huge, ranging from banal SARS and ending with herpes and hepatitis.
- Tuberculosis and fungal diseases, intestinal and stomach upsets can also be the result of eating from common dishes.
- Do not forget about helminths, which are also happy to settle in your body, if you do not follow basic hygiene standards.
Feeding a baby from his plate
Is there a need to purchase separate dishes for a child?
Many mothers believe that you can feed the baby from any clean dishes: retorting "I washed the plate!"
But pediatricians are still advised to purchase personalized dishes for the child immediately when you start to introduce complementary foods. To avoid infections (you saw a considerable list above), you need to purchase your plate, cup and cutlery for it.
You probably know that the microflora in each person’s mouth is different - to say nothing of the differences between an adult and a child’s body.If we take into account the fact that the oral cavity is a priori a breeding ground for a variety of bacteria, then we can only guess about the consequences of mixing food in a common plate. Take care of the health of your child and try to eat separately from your dishes.
Psychology
Scientists came to the conclusion that love in a couple is stronger if a man and a woman share food with each other.
An experiment was conducted at Clemson University (South Carolina) during which a video was shown to the participants. On these records were couples (man and woman) who treated each other with food and enjoyed eating from the same plate. Also demonstrated were couples who did not share food. After viewing the video data, the people who participated in the experiment were asked to share their opinions on which couples, in their opinion, have a closer relationship.
The vast majority of participants considered that couples who treated each other with food (which they themselves tried or did not touch) look in love, romantic, tender and caring.
According to researchers, when a man and a woman share food, admit a partner to their plate, this makes sense. You can compare this with a kiss - during both actions there is an exchange of saliva and microbes. By the way, some scientists believe that this way you can protect your body from certain viruses.
Conclusion
Now you know a little more about how sharing a meal from the same plate or spoon affects your body. The theory of psychologists has a beautiful justification that attracts many.
However, do not forget about basic oral hygiene. Better use only your cutlery and utensils, especially when it comes to feeding your baby. Someone may find this caution unnecessary, but it is better to protect themselves and others than to suffer from health problems later.
