Obese people in America watch the clock to eat and count the times of chewing. They want to chew more times per meal than before they lost weight by eating slowly. Chew slowly, so that food is digested and absorbed faster, blood sugar rises faster, and it is easier to excite the satiety center. Stop eating as soon as you feel full.
2. Saliva is the body's "self-help pharmacy"
Saliva is the "health patrol" of the body. Chewing is not only to swallow hard food, but also to produce a lot of saliva. People who chew fully secrete saliva 1. 1~ 1.5 liters a day. Saliva is a "self-help pharmacy" in our body. If you don't chew while eating, it will reduce saliva secretion. Gobbling at dinner is equivalent to being outside the defense scope of this "patrol".
3. Chewing fully while eating is actually the same job as developing anticancer drugs.
Experts show through experiments that chewing for 30 seconds can reduce the toxicity of carcinogens. If you chew food 30 times in one bite and then swallow it every 1 second, congratulations, you have joined the high-tech anti-cancer field.
The secretion of saliva during chewing can reduce the attack of nitrite compounds on cells, change the cell mutation plan, and obviously reduce the harm caused by food additives such as chemical synthetic agents and preservatives. Saliva can also neutralize and eliminate carcinogens in food. Chewing slowly and prolonging life is also a great victory of reason.
4. Chew slowly to reduce the burden on the stomach.
Food swallowed directly without chewing is an uninvited guest in the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach squeezes and rubs hard to make those big pieces of food smaller, and then quickly pushes them into the intestine. The same is true for successors. Everyone is busy, and the squeezed nutrients slip away unconsciously. Chewing slowly can fully combine food with saliva, which can help and promote food digestion. Chewing for many times can grind food, so that the stomach can enjoy it while working in a relaxed environment. People who already feel upset in the stomach should chew slowly.
Drive away dental caries
When eating, the mouth is acidic, which is very suitable for the growth of dental caries bacteria, and the calcium and phosphorus on the tooth surface begin to dissolve. After chewing, a lot of saliva is secreted, which neutralizes the acid in the mouth, dental caries bacteria escape, teeth are saved, the dissolution of calcium and phosphorus is also stifled, teeth are invincible, and everything is peaceful.
In addition, the food residue on the surface of teeth and gums is eliminated due to mechanical friction, which accelerates the blood circulation of gums and reduces the occurrence of gingivitis.
6. Keep your youth intact
With the increase of age, at the age of 30, the subauricular gland, which secretes a lot of parotid hormones, began to shrink. You know, without enough parotid hormone, it is difficult to maintain the elasticity and vitality of blood vessels, skin and other tissues. The most effective and simple way to activate its function is chewing. Chewing can stimulate the subauricular gland and keep the secretion of parotid hormone.
7. The more times you chew, the greater the stimulation to the brain, and the smarter the brain becomes.
Chewing can exercise facial muscles, and the masticatory muscles dial a "hotline" to the brain while exercising, so the brain is also activated. Blood is continuously transported to the brain, and information exchange between brain cells is frequent. Due to stimulation, the hormone secretion of the brain increases, and the thinking ability and work efficiency of the brain are significantly improved. According to the research statistics of American medical experts, the IQ of children who chew less is generally lower than that of children who chew food mainly. Genius was thus murdered by ignorant desires.
