Chewing slowly can promote the absorption and digestion of food and reduce the burden on the stomach. Teeth play the role of physically crushing food. By fully chewing food, you can increase the contact area between food and saliva, promote the digestion of food, and reduce the burden on the stomach.
Chewing slowly can effectively prevent hyperglycemia and gastrointestinal diseases. Because chewing slowly can slow down the rise of blood sugar and prevent hyperglycemia. It can also prevent intestinal diseases caused by food damage to the trachea and stimulation of the stomach due to eating too fast. Some people wolfed down their meals. Unchewed food not only stimulates the esophagus and stomach, but also increases the grinding burden of the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption.
Chewing slowly can enhance nutrient absorption. After careful chewing, the food will become thinner and easy to combine with digestive enzymes in the intestine, and the nutrients in the food will be easily absorbed. In addition, chewing slowly has the advantages of protecting oral hygiene and helping to lose weight, so it is necessary to develop a eating habit of chewing slowly in life.
