Many believe that the speed of eating is normal due to the stress of daily life or time limit, but experts assure that this habit deprives the body of the natural signs of satiety that the brain sends, which leads to excessive eating without feeling.
Studies stated that the stomach needs about 20 minutes to send full signals to the brain, and that eating quickly prevents this vital communication, which causes large amounts of food without real awareness of hunger or food need.
Research has warned that this habit causes a defect in the metabolism, and negatively affects the body’s ability to burn fat, which gradually leads to the accumulation of weight and insulin resistance, which opens the door to diabetes.
Also, rapid swallowing without chewing sufficiently causes indigestion, disturbing gas and bloating, in addition to the risk of esophageal reflux and stomach infections, which are health problems that can be avoided only with a slight adjustment in the pace of eating.
The results showed that people who eat their food slowly, give their bodies sufficient time to respond, achieve a better weight balance, and feel faster food satisfaction, which reduces the possibilities of excess and overwhelming.
The researchers urged the self -eating self -training through simple techniques such as placing a spoon between values, slowly chewing food, or even conscious eating, which have proven effective in behavioral balance while eating.
Studies stressed the importance of the eating environment in influencing a person’s behavior, in sitting quietly without dispersal, and avoiding screens and stress during eating, all factors that help organize the meal and slow the eating process automatically.
The researchers concluded that this bad habit is also linked to the level of psychological tension, as anxious people or tension tend to eat quickly as a subconscious means of discharge, which deepens the health problem and adds psychological dimensions to it.
The specialists emphasized that the matter is not only related to the quantities of food, but also in the way of eating it, which makes slow eating an effective preventive behavior that deserves to turn into a daily habit, especially in light of the increasing chronic diseases associated with modern lifestyle.
Doctors stressed that awareness of eating behaviors should start from a young age, and teach children to eat quietly and without urgency, is a long -term health investment, which can avoid them a lot of risks later.
Specialists believe that the solution does not need medicinal interventions or costly programs, but rather in the hands of every person who decides to give his meal a little time and focus, to be a reason for his health, not a source of his suffering.
The researchers hope that these studies will contribute to pushing people to reconsider their daily eating habits, and that they will be a step towards a more healthy life and actual prevention of diseases quietly infiltrating their bodies because of a simple habit.
