Eat as slowly as possible? ? Many friends know that eating too fast is right.

In fact, eating is also a science. Eating fast will make the esophagus useless and damage the esophageal mucosa over time, which is likely to cause acute inflammation. Chinese medicine has always advocated eating slowly and not doing anything else while eating. However, there is a limit to chewing slowly, and we can't just ask for "slow".

Chewing slowly is indeed a kind of diet that we should advocate and follow, but the extremes meet, and everything should be moderate. It is not that the slower you eat, the better your health. The best time to eat is 20 minutes. Physiologically speaking, whenever we eat, the body will automatically release digestive enzymes, and the release of digestive enzymes has a peak period, which usually lasts for more than ten minutes. This ten minutes is the best time for us to absorb nutrients, so in fact, it is best to control the time for us to eat for about 20 minutes, which is synchronized with the peak period of digestive enzyme release, so as to absorb nutrients in food to the maximum extent.

First of all, the food we eat will reach the duodenum through the stomach. If we eat too long, on the one hand, the duodenum will digest the food we have already eaten, on the other hand, the stomach will continue to work. If the blood is not balanced, it will lead to insufficient blood supply to the stomach. If you continue to eat in this situation, it will lead to food accumulation, which will cause certain damage to your body in the long run.

Furthermore, when we eat, bile will enter the intestine with food, helping the intestine to digest and absorb. But if you eat it for too long, bile will be "in a hurry" and affect normal digestion. In this way, the food can't be digested normally, and the fat contained in the food will be piled up intact. In the long run, you will get fat.
