Chewing thoroughly is an effective way to avoid eating too quickly and not overeating. This method does not require forcing yourself and can reduce your food intake naturally, so it will not cause stress or cause weight gain in response.
Chewing your food thoroughly can also increase the number of calories you burn after a meal, helping to burn visceral fat more effectively. The feeling of fullness will start to kick in about 15-20 minutes after you start eating, so try to take more than 15 minutes to eat.
Chewing thoroughly and eating slowly helps your body secrete more digestive enzymes and IgA antibodies to improve immune function, which can improve the intestinal environment and prevent indigestion.
Especially for those who eat late at night or have poor appetite in the morning, chewing dinner thoroughly can reduce the burden on the digestive tract during sleep, improve sleep quality, and can improve appetite in the morning.
Chewing thoroughly can increase saliva production. Saliva contains a growth hormone - sialoid hormone that promotes muscle and bone growth.
Therefore, chewing thoroughly not only helps reduce visceral fat but is also beneficial for health.
