In daily life, we can often see some people wolfing down their meals and eating them quickly. In fact, this eating habit is very bad. People should form the good habit of chewing slowly when eating. From 65438 to 0983, a French nutritionist advocated a concept of health preservation: Do you want to live longer? Eat slowly. So, what are the benefits of chewing slowly? Promote 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. It is fully mixed with saliva under the agitation of the tongue 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 digestive juice with food, thus accelerating the digestion of food and obviously improving the absorption rate of nutrients. Especially in the elderly, due to the degeneration of various glands, the secretion of digestive juices such as saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice and bile is reduced, and the chewing ability of teeth is poor. If you eat too fast, it will inevitably increase the burden on the stomach and affect the absorption of nutrients. Promote saliva secretion. Ancient health care experts once warned people that saliva should not be spit out casually. Saliva is "nectar" and "jade liquid". Saliva can not only moisten and digest food, but also enhance people's appetite, sterilize and remove residues, and neutralize stomach acid. It is not only an important secretion for digesting food, absorbing nutrition and ensuring health, but also the first pass for human body to prevent pathogen invasion. If you spit casually for a long time, you will form bad habits, which will make people look yellow, hungry, thin and do not think about diet. In recent years, scientists have proved that salivary amylase is also a natural anticancer agent. American medical experts advocate that every meal should be chewed 30 times to give full play to the bactericidal and anticancer effects of saliva. Prevention of oral diseases. Chewing is a mild stimulus to the mouth. Chewing food carefully in the mouth not only has a good massage and stimulation effect on oral soft tissues and gums, but also has a good "cleaning and self-cleaning" effect on teeth themselves, which can reduce the growth and reproduction of germs and is of great significance for preventing gingivitis and periodontitis. When chewing, the pressure on the teeth will be frequently transmitted to the mandible, which can also prevent mandibular aging. In addition, chewing slowly can also enrich the blood circulation of gums, make teeth get more blood and nutrition, enhance the firmness of teeth and avoid premature shedding. Conducive to weight loss and beauty. Professor Akasaka Shouren of the Department of Dentistry of Japanese University said that bad chewing is an important factor leading to weight gain. Chewing slowly when eating can raise blood sugar and make people feel full. People will naturally stop eating when they eat enough. If you wolf down your meal, you won't feel full easily. Although people are full, they don't feel full, which will lead to excessive food intake. Therefore, chewing slowly when eating can not only have enough time to enjoy the food, but also produce a sense of fullness, which is conducive to weight loss. Internal laughter is one of the methods used by Taoism to relieve stress. The so-called inner smile. That is to say, Taoists practice with the energy of smiling. Smile energy has good therapeutic potential. Inner laughter can help you release harmful energy trapped in your body and replace it with positive laughter. One of the greatest pursuits of inner laughter is meditation. The greatest benefit of meditation is to enhance your ability to concentrate. Let yourself calm down, concentrate your consciousness, pay attention to your breathing methods, and learn to concentrate your consciousness on a certain part or organ of the body. If you can't calm down, you will be easily disturbed by the outside world, and it is impossible to achieve real concentration of consciousness. It is not easy to calm all kinds of distractions and achieve meditation. You need to really control yourself with your heart, which takes some time. Inner laughter can help you meditate.
