New data: We can comfortably enjoy a piece of cake. It is enough to do it slowly and excruciatingly. Or rather late and enjoyable. And while experts tend to focus on the types of foods we are allowed to eat to protect our health, the speed at which we have lunch is just as important.
What are the risks of eating too fast
1. First of all we definitely eat more
2. Then we find it hard to dig
3. As if all this was not enough, fast food consumption increases the rhythm of the heart and breathing dangerously
4. The stomach does not manage to convey to the brain the message that we are full
5. Not chewing our food properly can also endanger digestion, which means we will not receive all nutrients from our food
6. Unassuming pieces of food is in the risk of sticking to our esophagus

How to slow eating eating: valuable secrets
1. We close the TV and leave the mobile aside
If we eat while watching TV we do not pay attention to the signals of the body itself that it is full. And that almost always makes us eat more.
2. We try to eat with our “bad” hand
The rate at which we eat is a rooted habit. But it’s never too late to change him. Small tricks such as using the fork with our left hand if we are right -handed or experimenting with a sheep, it is possible that they do not slow down the rhythm of our meal. And it’s a challenge. Let’s try it already at our next meal.
3. We observe the taste, texture and temperature of each bite
Even if we have a busy life and it is inevitable to have our lunch or intermediate snack in the midst of a meeting we need to look at the taste and sense of food. If we are not fully present, it is very easy to eat faster and not notice how much we have consumed.
4. We chew the food as our mom probably used to say to us
We divide our meal into smaller and more buns. If we chew each bite a little more, our meal will spread in time. And we do this even if we eat crisps. That is, we eat them slowly, one by one. And not with the handfuls.
