Ever wondered why you feel hungry even after a scrumptious meal. When gulping the morsels of savoured items due to work or any other activity, the cost paid by you is much more than just time and money.
We have a saying since ages that one should not speak while eating but its gone for a toss in todays time. Imagine the last time you mindfully ate your meal without any cumbersome process… haha you will have to take the effort of chewing. Just compare a day when you eat in a rush and on a holiday when you eat in serenity. Make out the difference in the satisfaction despite consuming the same food. Mindful eating, which is unfortunately lost in the 21st century but thanks to many health freaks like me, you won’t forget the importance because we are there to back you up whenever you find yourself stuck.
The first thought of food makes you salivate that is your biological system ready for the intake of food. Each bite and chew completes 20 percent of the digestion process in the mouth itself. This makes it easier for the next function to optimally perform and proceed towards the 26 feet long track where it further takes 6-8 hrs to absorb all the essential nutrients and maintain the gut Flora and Fauna. The ongoing process releases satiety hormones which approximately takes 20 minutes to reach the brain. This indicates you to stop eating. Imagine you have a 20 minute window and you hog as much as you can believe me you will be able to. Soon after the window you will feel the stuffiness. This is something whenever you see your favourite meal.
The moral remains simply traditional. When you eat forget everything and behave like you attain Nirvana while you consume your hard earned food. Eat slowly and enjoy your meal. Just try it for a week and see the difference. At the end all that matters is your own happiness and satisfaction… NutritionByKshitij®
