Chew Slowly
Eating too fast can result in stomach gas, bloating and flatulence. It causes you to swallow air and also leads to poor digestion. Try to avoid doing too many things as you eat so you can take your time through every bite and enjoy your meal. Also, ensure you actually chew your food properly.
Chewing breaks up the food into more manageable pieces, increases its surface area, and mixes it with saliva. This saliva contains the enzymes amylase, which starts breaking down carbohydrates in the meal and lingual lipase to begin the proper digestion of fats. Eating too fast can disrupt the entire digestive process. In addition, try to consume smaller portions at any given time. This also helps digestion and reduces the chances of bloating.
