Slow down your eating and give your digestion a chance

You must have heard this couple of times when you 


were a kid “Eat slowly and chew your food well” but 


as we grow up we tend to forget this rule. Eating 


slowly and chewing the food well is as important as 


eating healthy food.

The digestion of carbohydrate actually begins in your


 mouth, and then continues in your small intestine


. Protein is digested mainly in your stomach. When


 you chew, your stomach is sent messages about


 what is on its way and so can prepare the correct 


enzymes. So eating slowly and chewing properly 


improves your digestion in many ways. Our stomach


 takes 20 minutes to send a signal to the brain that it 


is full. If we eat slowly there are lesser chances of 


over eating as we have already received a signal that


 the stomach is full. This is a golden rule which needs


 to be followed to remain healthy but is commonly


 over looked.

Maybe you lead a very rushed life and find you have


 to eat 'on the go', but rushing your food and not


 chewing enough can cause indigestion and worsen


 conditions like IBS.

To aid digestion, sit down, eat slowly, don't multitask


while eating, and turn off the TV--even if you are 


eating alone.
