Are employees getting enough lunch break?

In my humble opinion, I think that 45 minutes is not a long enough lunch break. Firstly, one should address the situation that in the lunch break one needs a time to take a lunch. As one cannot eat a lunch sharply at given specific time. For instance, a lunch break starts from 11. Nobody, would start taking his lunch sharply at 11. It is simply because in a break one needs to freshen up himself which requires a time to do it. Apart from this, the main motive of a break is to give a rest to the body and mind.

A break is essential for the body and mind to work effectively and efficiently. In a lunch break, one cannot finish his lunch in 15 minutes. Surely, he can finish it in 30 minutes but what about the other bodily requirements to freshen up the body. It’s not just about finishing the meal, but it’s more about finishing the lunch without any rush. In a rush, a person would have thoughts to rejoin the work which will affect the efficiency of his work. So, it is required to take a lunch with a peaceful mind.

At school level, it is decided to give 45 minutes break to the children. As, they continuously studying 6 hours in schools which is a loaded stuff for them to study. So, as per their work, they give 30-45 minutes break to children. So that, they can enjoy their lunch with calmness not in a hurried way. A corporate level, it has been decided that a lunch break is of 1 hour. This is because at corporate level, workload increases which again requires a time and giving a rest to the body and mind.

In a science, it has been always said that one should take his meal with completely chewed in a peaceful manner. In addition to this, we all know, half of the digestion happens in mouth, because if one takes a meal without chewed properly, it severely affects to the digestion of a person, and his metabolism will eventually be low. It even increases the workload on the stomach for digesting the food properly which will invite various diseases to the body and its respective other organs. 

In a crux, a lunch break should be decided as per the levels of system. Break should be decided by the level of the organization. As if there’s a school level then, 45 minutes are okay. If there’s a college then, 45 minutes to 1 hour can be okay and if there’s a corporate then, more than an hour or one and half hour should be there. As in this time slot, one can easily enjoy taking his meal without any rush to finish his meal. So, it's necessary step for well being of our employees.
