Right hand to eat

  • Eating with the right hand is a habit. In fact, when putting food into the mouth, the spoon or fork is still held by the right hand. 
  • The right hand is a representation of good things so it deserves to be used in various activities, one of which is putting food in the mouth. 
  • Eating with the left hand is considered rude unless one is left-handed.
  • Using the right hand when eating is very good for health as it activates good bacteria in the hands, mouth and throat to aid digestion in the gut.
