to continue from our previous article: the truth behind chewing of food, here more advantages of thorough chewing as well as effects of no thorough chewing.
Other
benefits include:
- You are more than likely to not
eat as much by eating thoroughly. When you are eating slower, your brain
can tell you that you are full, causing you to eat less.
- Helps to prevent the heavy
feeling that sometimes follows a meal and it also will help you lose body
fat since you are not eating as much
- Reduce the risk of bacterial overgrowth: food particles that aren’t broken down properly can cause bacterial overgrowth in the colon which leads to indigestion, bloating and constipation.
When you don’t thoroughly chew..
- Poorly digestion which means
poor absorption of the vitamins and nutrients that the foods you are
eating provide.
- Contribution to reflux which
can damage the lining of the throat and esophagus. About 44% of Americans
experience reflux or heartburn at least once a month, 20% have it every
week and 7% suffer from it daily.
- Other side effects include flatulence, indigestion, heartburn, gas, IBS, and other discomforts. Chewing each bit thoroughly allows less air to enter in which decreases gas and burping. With an increasing number of individuals with IBS, constipation, abdominal spasms and bloating, chewing food could possibly prevent a number if these daily discomforts.
