In order to investigate the correlation between eating too fast and being overweight, a team from Okayama University in Japan investigated 20 10 1396 freshmen. The contents of the survey include: height, weight, eating speed, love of fast food and many other lifestyle factors. At the beginning of the study, there were 13 14 college students with normal weight (676 boys and 638 girls).
After three years of follow-up investigation, it was found that 38 college students were overweight. Further comparative analysis shows that boys eat too fast and the risk of getting fat is 2.77 times that of girls; Students who eat too fast are 4.4 times fatter than other students. In addition, research also shows that eating too fast is more likely to lead to obesity than eating greasy food or overeating.

Chewing slowly promotes the absorption of nutrients. People need to eat every day to absorb nutrients and maintain normal life activities. After food enters the mouth, it is first treated by teeth, such as biting, cutting, tearing and chewing. Under the agitation of the tongue, it is fully mixed with saliva to form chyme, which can be swallowed into the stomach for preliminary digestion and then further digested and absorbed into the intestine.
The finer the food is chewed, the more it can reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, and it is easy to fully mix the digestive juice with the food, thus accelerating the digestion of food and obviously improving the absorption of nutrients. Promoting saliva secretion can not only moisten and digest food, but also stimulate appetite, sterilize and remove residues, and neutralize stomach acid.
