Today’s Question
Effects of eating a meal slowly or rapidly
Answer : When you chew the morsel (bite) 32 times ,saliva and other digestive enzymes are secreted and support digestion very well.
If one eats in a hurry, the digestive enzymes are not secreted in appropriate quantum manner, resulting in improper digestion.
Secondly it’s observed that, those who eat slowly , consume lesser amount of food than those who eat fast or rapidly
** From the time one takes the first bite , insulin level reaches its peak in an hour’s time and subsequently, it reaches its normal level in the next one hour.
Therefore it is recommended to finish the meal within 55 minutes.
If one continues to eat longer than 55 minutes, the insulin reaches its peak and continues to secret again.
Therefore, it’s essential to eat slower, however the meal shall be completed in 55 minutes.
