Benefits of Eating Slowly
Slowing down your eating pace can have various positive effects on your health. By taking your time to eat, you allow your brain enough time to register fullness, potentially leading to consuming fewer calories. Additionally, research has linked leisurely eating to lower levels of cholesterol and reduced belly fat over the long term. Slowing down can also help improve blood sugar levels, which is crucial for reducing inflammation and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
