Chewing slower results in weight loss, studies say – Vidette Online: As soon as a piece of food enters a person’s mouth, it is chewed and swallowed without much thought; few take time to consider that eating too fast can lead to health hazards.
Chewing breaks food down from large pieces into smaller pieces, which are more easily digested according to mercola.com, a website that provides natural health information.
The process of chewing, also known as mastication, is the first step in the digestion process.
Recent research presented at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo indicated that “when participants chewed almonds longer, the smaller particles were better and more quickly absorbed by the body.”
