Nutritionists have shared an effective way not to overeat

The faster a person eats, the more likely it is that he overeats.

Right you said in childhood: “Eat slowly! Chew your food!” People who diligently follow this advice, less prone to obesity and various problems with the metabolism (the risk of developing heart problems, diabetes, and stroke).

It is especially dangerous to set records for speed of absorption of lunch if you are at risk (abdominal obesity, high blood sugar in the morning, high blood pressure, high or low cholesterol).

This year at the scientific sessions of the American heart Association team from the University of Hiroshima have presented studies showing that slow eating may be the key to good health and a slim figure.

Japanese scientists taken under the supervision of 642 men and 441 women, whose average age was 51 years. None of the study participants were not exposed to metabolic disorders in 2008. However, over time, 11.6% of fast consumers are faced with the problem of obesity. While ordinary consumers and slow the numbers turned out to 6.5% and 2.3%, respectively. In addition to the development of obesity, according to Japanese researchers, fast food is associated with an increased level of glucose in the blood.

It is generally believed that during a slow and deliberate process of eating the brain receives signals about fullness before – and man eats smaller portions than someone who pounces on the contents of the dish like a hungry dog.

“Slow eating may become an important item in the programme of a man who decided to change lifestyle to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome,” concluded one of the authors of the study, doctor of medicine Takayuki Yamaji.
