Medical Video: Why You Shouldn’t Eat Too Fast
The advice of parents not to eat too fast turns out to be very useful for your health, you know. In addition to ensuring that the food is smooth so that it can be swallowed and digested by the digestive organs properly, this turns out to provide an opportunity for the digestive organs to work more relaxed because of finer foods. Not only that, chewing food well turns out it can also reduce the risk of diabetes. Actually, what does this have to do with the risk of diabetes? Check out the reviews.
Chewing food too fast can cause insulin resistance
A study conducted in Lithuania showed that from hundreds of data taken from samples, those who chewed food quickly turned out to be at twice the risk of developing diabetes than those who chewed food until it was smoother.
Research conducted by Masaki Eto, MD - a professor of pharmacology and medicine at Ohu University, Koriyama, Japan - found that chewing actually triggered the release of the hormone glucagon-like peptide (GLP) -1 and peptide YY (PYY). Both play an important role in regulating blood sugar and are closely related to triglyceride levels and weight. When eating quickly, of course the amount of chew will be a little. So, the GLP-1 and PYY hormones released are few.
This is evident from the research conducted by doctor Eto where there were two groups with different amounts of chewing, namely 30 chews and 5 chews. It turned out that the group with 30 chews had higher GLP-1 and PYY hormones after eating. Doctor Eto suspect this plays an important role in maintaining body weight so as not to be obese.
Why is it important to chew food properly?
Dr. Czupryniak, another researcher from Poland, believes that by eating slowly and chewing more, you will be full faster before the food on your plate runs out. Eat slowly and enjoy every taste in the mouth (mindful eating) is believed to give you more satiety so you don't eat too much. Eating too much means consuming high calories and this can increase your risk of obesity and diabetes.
Many people tend to eat food quickly because they have little time to eat. For example, many office workers are forced to eat on their work desks because they cannot rest for the sake of pursuing work deadlines. This certainly makes many office workers who do not chew food until smooth so that it can trigger diabetes.
No matter how busy your schedule is, you have to eat food more relaxed and have a healthy diet. Another example, always try to do breakfast which turns out to reduce the risk of diabetes by 34 percent.
With regular eating, you will certainly be in a condition that is full so that snacks that are less healthy and can trigger diabetes will not be consumed much. It's just that, the food consumed certainly must be food with balanced nutrition and does not contain excessive sugar levels so that the risk of diabetes also decreases.
