June 2010 – Eating slowly helps lose weight and reduce health risks
Recent research shows that our mothers were right all along – eating slowly really is better for us. A US study showed that eating slowly led to significant decreases in the amount of food eaten. Those who ate more slowly also reported feeling fuller and enjoying their food more. Those eating more quickly reported lower satiety ratings, despite haven eaten more.
A Japanese study on over 3000 men and women concluded that eating until full and eating quickly are associated with being overweight and that these eating behaviours combined may have a substantial impact on being overweight.
Eating faster and frequent overeating are associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, a disorder associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
So for optimum health and to help lose weight, slow down, chew your food properly and stop eating before you feel full.
