Is it better to eat faster or slower?

Chewing slowly can increase the secretion of saliva, help it fully mix with food, and improve digestion and absorption. This is especially important for the elderly with bad teeth.

In addition, some experts believe that chewing slowly can relieve tension and anxiety; Spending more time chewing food can also exercise facial muscles and reduce wrinkles. Therefore, if you want to live a long life, you must chew slowly. Generally speaking, it is recommended to chew more than 20 times a meal and eat 15 minutes or more per meal.

The harm of eating too fast:

1, malnutrition

Eating too fast will cause the nutrients in food to be completely absorbed by the stomach, so you can chew slowly when eating, which will fully decompose protein, sugar and vitamins in food, which is more conducive to absorption.

2, leading to obesity

Eating too fast can lead to obesity. First, it is caused by indigestion. When indigestion occurs, a lot of food will accumulate in the body, and the intake of nutrients is higher than consumption, which will lead to obesity. Moreover, in the case of eating fast and watching TV and movies, you will unconsciously eat too much food, which will also increase the probability of obesity.

3, indigestion

Eating too fast will cause the stomach not to secrete too much digestive juice. Insufficient digestive juice will make the food eaten in the stomach unable to be fully digested, which will lead to excessive accumulation of food in the gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion.
