WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU EAT TOO QUICKLY?
_ POOR DIGESTION:
When you eat too fast, you don’t chew food properly. This makes it harder for your stomach to break down food, leading to Bloating, Gas and Indigestion
_ OVEREATING AND WEIGHT GAIN:
It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register fullness. If you eat too fast, you may eat more than your body needs before realizing you're full — which can lead to excess calorie intake and weight gain over time
_ HIGHER RISK OF ACID REFLUX:
Swallowing large chunks of food and air quickly can cause acid to rise up from your stomach, resulting in heartburn and acid reflux
_ INCREASED RISK OF METABOLIC ISSUES:
Studies have linked fast eating to a higher risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
_ LESS ENJOYMENT OF FOOD:
Rushing through meals means you’re not savoring flavors or textures, which can reduce satisfaction and lead to emotional eating later.
