Partha Banerjee Mumbai : What are
the different health and 
wellness  benefits of eating 
slowly?
IN TODAY’S FAST-PACED ENVIRONMENT, EATING ON THE MOVE OR GRABBING A QUICK  
BITE IS NOT UNCOMMON. SITTING DOWN AT THE TABLE FOR A LEISURELY MEAL IS A 
PIPE  DREAM FOR MANY PEOPLE, WHO ARE JUGGLING SEVERAL ACTIVITIES, SCHOOL, 
WORK,  TRAVEL, AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. IF THIS DESCRIBES YOU, BE AWARE THAT 
EATING  RAPIDLY CAN HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON YOUR OVERALL HEALTH! IN 
REALITY,  SLOWING DOWN HAS SOME IMPORTANT HEALTH BENEFITS, SUCH AS 
ALLOWING YOU TO  CHEW YOUR MEAL AND EAT IT CAREFULLY.
DIGESTION ENHANCEMENT
ACCORDING TO PARTHA BANERJEE DUBAI, SLOW EATING AIDS DIGESTION BY ALLOWING 
 YOU TO CHEW YOUR MEAL MORE THOROUGHLY. BECAUSE DIGESTION BEGINS IN THE  
MOUTH, IF YOUR MOUTH BREAKS DOWN MORE FOOD, YOU’LL HAVE LESS FOOD IN 
YOUR  STOMACH.
THERE ARE FEWER ISSUES WITH THE INTESTINES. SLOWING DOWN OF YOUR EATING  
TRIGGERS THE STRETCH RECEPTORS IN THE STOMACH. THE VAGUS NERVE THEN  
CONNECTS TO THE BRAIN, ALLOWING PARTIALLY DIGESTED FOOD TO BE RELEASED 
INTO  THE GUT. CHOLECYSTOKININ, ANOTHER HORMONE, TALKS WITH LEPTIN, WHICH 
SENDS  OUT OBESITY SIGNALS.
MAINTAINING A HEALTHY WEIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
WHEN YOU EAT QUICKLY, YOUR BODY HAS A HARD TIME RECOGNISING WHEN IT’S 
FULL,  AND YOUR BRAIN CAN’T KEEP UP, LEADING YOU TO BELIEVE YOU’RE STILL 
HUNGRY.  SLOWING DOWN AND CHEWING, ON THE OTHER HAND, SIGNALS TO YOUR 
BRAIN THAT  IT’S TIME TO QUIT EATING SO YOU DON’T OVEREAT. YOU’LL ALSO BE MORE 
CONTENT  WHEN YOU’RE DONE, WHICH MEANS YOU’LL BE LESS TEMPTED TO EAT IN 
BETWEEN.  MORE ENJOYABLE MEALS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE A MAJOR THING!
STRESS REDUCTION
WHEN DONE CAREFULLY, EATING IS A GREAT WAY TO PRACTISE MINDFULNESS. IT 
HELPS  YOU TO FOCUS ON THE NOW RATHER THAN PLANNING YOUR NEXT ACTION. 
YOU WILL  FEEL LESS ANXIOUS IF YOU EAT AT A SLOWER PACE THAN NORMAL.
SLOW EATING ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO AVOID THE FRANTIC PACE OF AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. 
 THAT MEANS LESS FAST FOOD, WHICH WE ALL CRAVE WHEN WE HAVE TO FULFIL TIGHT  
DEADLINES. FAST FOOD CONSUMPTION IS REDUCED, RESULTING IN FEWER WEIGHT-  
RELATED CONCERNS, SAYS DR PARTHA BANERJEE DUBAI.
MORE PLEASURABLE FOOD
SLOWING DOWN YOUR EATING CAN HELP YOU GET MORE ENJOYMENT OUT OF YOUR  
MEALS. MINDFUL EATING, OR TAKING THE TIME TO SAVOUR THE FLAVOURS, TEXTURES,  
AND AROMAS OF YOUR FAVOURITE FOODS, CAN HELP YOU FEEL SATISFIED AFTER EACH  
BITE, WHICH CAN HELP YOU AVOID OVEREATING. MINDFULNESS-BASED TREATMENT IS  
BEING USED BY SOME PSYCHOLOGISTS TO TREAT BINGE EATING DISORDER AND 
RELATED  CONCERNS.
YOUR TEETH ARE HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER AS A RESULT 
OF  YOUR EFFORTS
THE MORE YOU CHEW, THE MORE SALIVA YOU CREATE, WHICH AIDS WITH DIGESTION AS 
 WELL AS ORAL HEALTH! SALIVA WIPES AWAY FOOD PARTICLES STUCK BETWEEN YOUR  
TEETH, WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BRING BACTERIA TO YOUR DINNER PARTY, SAYS  
PARTHA BANERJEE MUMBAI.
AS A RESULT, THE LONGER YOU CHEW, THE BETTER YOUR TEETH ARE PROTECTED AND THE  
NUMBER OF DANGEROUS MINERALS, SUGARS, AND ACIDS IN YOUR MOUTH IS BALANCED. THAT’S 
 SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT!
