An important factor in a healthy diet is eating quickly.
In this article, you will learn why it is dangerous to eat very quickly.
Where can the habit of eating quickly come from
As a rule, the habit of eating quickly is formed in childhood, when adults do not like to wait and constantly rush the child.
However, this is harmful to health and normal digestion of food, as well as to the absorption of beneficial vitamins and microelements.
Therefore, you should not rush your children to eat.
Why can't you eat quickly
The fact is that it is harmful, first of all, to the digestive system.
Chewing food thoroughly helps the stomach digest food more easily and quickly.
Food does not stagnate in your body, stool is normal.
Additionally, it takes almost 20 minutes for the brain to send the "fullness" signals that tell you to stop eating.
Therefore, when you eat too quickly, you consume many more calories than people who eat more slowly.
Eating longer will help you feel fuller and prevent overeating.
How to eat properly
It is better to chew food slowly and thoroughly.
Each piece of food needs to be chewed about 15-20 times.
Reduce the number of snacks on the go.
When eating at a fast pace, food is poorly chewed and enters the stomach in large pieces.
This may cause problems with the digestive system in the body in the future.
The optimal time period for lunch is from 15-30 minutes, depending on what is on the plate.
Previously, we talked about how to establish a healthy relationship with food.
