If the stomach is stuffed excessively then there will be no movement of the food particles. The digestive juices will be secreted beyond the requisite content and it results in acidity. We should always keep some empty space in our stomach which aids in proper digestion of the food. Sitting down will help in reducing the stomach space by nearly half i.e your upper part of the stomach gets compressed naturally. Thus you will ideally eat only half of what you would have eaten if you had used a table-chair. You will know when your are full and which is very important for weight management.
