Then most people may be concerned about the content of diet, that is, what to eat, how much protein or other nutrients are contained in it, and they don't care about how to eat it at all, thinking that it will be used after eating it.
When I was a child, my family often told us to pay attention to many problems when eating, such as not watching TV, not sipping, not wolfing down, and eating slowly. Does this make sense? Of course there is.
So what we are going to talk about today, this eating habit, is about the way of eating, that is, chewing slowly, which is not only important for fitness, but also an effective way for everyone to absorb nutrients in food.
First of all, what we said above is that eating it will be absorbed by the body. It's actually wrong. Some foods or some of them can't be digested by our stomach, but will be excreted directly, so the nutrition in them can't be used by the body.
So what can we do to make these nutrients fully absorbed by us? So chew slowly. When food is chewed in the mouth, it will be physically broken down into smaller parts and then easily absorbed into the stomach.
Therefore, chewing in the mouth is the first step, that is, turning food into paste or smaller block through physical decomposition, which increases the surface area of food several times, which is very important for gastrointestinal absorption in the later stage. Without it, the stomach can't function.
After food is physically decomposed, the advantage of increasing the area is that it can be more fully reacted by various chemical components or food enzymes in the stomach, so that it will be easier in the next decomposition, just like conducting chemical experiments, and the object will be more fully reacted by mashing it.
If we don't understand it well, we can give another example, that is, when we wash clothes, caked washing powder takes a long time to melt if it is put into water, while powdery or liquid laundry detergent can dissolve in water quickly.
Then, for the corn that everyone eats a lot and is indispensable to the fitness crowd, it also fully reflects this point. If you fully chew the corn before swallowing, the nutrients in it will be well absorbed.
When you munch on corn, you may swallow it without chewing it because you are in a hurry or because of your own habits. Then when you defecate, you will find that some corn grains are even intact, so the nutrition in them is certainly not absorbed.
Corn is a kind of food with high cellulose content, which our body can't digest, but some of its ingredients are very helpful to us. If you can't absorb it, you can only keep it as it is and excrete it, so you must chew slowly and eat normally next time!
