JAKARTA - With the busy daily life, eating quickly is often a habit for many people. Meal time is shortened to be able to do other activities.
However, it is important to note that fast eating habits are not good and have various health risks that must be considered. Here are some of the bad effects of eating fast for health, quoted from Healthline, Wednesday, June 3, 2021.
1. Disturbing digestive health
Eating too fast is associated with an increased risk of digestive problems such as gastritis and heartburn. Eating quickly can also cause excess air to enter the digestive tract, which can trigger bloating, excess gas, and irritation of the large intestine.
Therefore, chewing food properly is an important part of the digestive process because it helps prepare and activate further digestive processes in the digestive tract.
2. Trigger overeating and weight gain
The bad impact of eating too fast is the tendency to eat more than the body needs. This is because when eating too fast, the signal to eat is not processed well by the brain.
This condition can cause an increased risk of overweight and obesity. Snacking habits outside meal times can also increase and cause daily calorie intake to be uncontrolled.
3. Causes blood sugar levels to be less stable
Eating at normal speeds can result in a much better blood sugar response. Conversely, eating quickly is associated with a higher risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
This risk can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Thus, it is recommended to chew food slowly or at least 20-30 times so that digestion processes glucose gradually and prevents drastic spikes.
