Cross legged position facilitates the blood flow towards the abdomen region of our body which ease the digestive process. When we eat from a plate placed on the floor, we have to naturally bend forward slightly to put the food in our mouth and go back to our starting position to swallow. This constant back and forth movement causes the muscles of our abdomen to be activated and also leads to increased secretion of stomach acids, making it much easier for our body to digest the food thoroughly. Optimal digestion of food is the key to a healthy body.
