Chew Food For 30 Seconds To Not Easy Hungry

Jakarta, Set diet is one key to the success of the diet. Unfortunately, many people are determined to go on a diet ultimately fails because it can not control her eating. Apparently the secret is simply that chewing food for 30 seconds before swallowing.

This secret was revealed by a study conducted by scientists from the University of Birmingham. The researchers noticed that people who chew food longer so less than most people eating snacks. How this can affect weight loss because the meal so boring

In a report published in the journal Appetite, the research suggests that chewing food longer may have an impact on appetite, limiting the desire to eat chocolate, candy and other snacks that can lead to accumulation of fat. Previous research has also shown that chewing food for a long time to cut calorie intake.

The researchers wanted to know whether the process of chewing food can affect a person's eating behavior. In this study, 43 students were recruited and asked to refrain from eating for two hours prior to the experiment. The participants were then treated to a plate of smoked ham and cheese sandwich.

One third of the participants were asked to eat as usual, another third required pause for 10 seconds after each swallow food, while the rest were asked to chew food sepetiga for 30 seconds before swallowing. Two hours later, the participants were given a small bowl of fruit-flavored chewy candy and candy-coated chocolate.

The participants were also asked to assess their own appetite and the level of enjoyment when eating food. Results showed participants who ate a normal speed and that stops eating for 10 seconds while consuming the same amount of candy. However, people who chew food for 30 seconds eating half portions less.

"Participants in the group long to chew less happy after lunch and the assessment of the pleasure of eating lunch lower than those in the other groups. Effect may be because it is still new in doing chew food for a long time," the researchers said as quoted by the Daily Mail.

The researchers theorized, it might be because so many processes concentrate on eating, brain so much longer and are less likely to remember the signal needs to eat. It could also be due to the effect caused by chewing longer so unpleasant that dampen the desire to devour snacks.
