Is it better to eat faster or slower?

Okay, so, “Is it better to eat faster or slower?” Hmm… Well, you know what? For me, it’s definitely better to eat slower. I mean, honestly, I’m a firm believer in savoring every single bite! Rushing through meals just feels…stressful, doesn’t it? Like you’re in a race against the clock or something.

And you know what else I’ve noticed? I always end up eating way more than I actually need when I scarf things down. It’s like my brain doesn’t have time to catch up and tell me I’m full! Slowing down lets me truly appreciate the taste and texture of my food. Like, really taste it, you know? Plus, it’s just kinder to my stomach, right? I remember this one time I was at a family barbeque and ate a burger so fast, like literally inhaled it. I felt awful for the next few hours!

The satisfaction of a properly digested meal – ah, bliss! – far outweighs the speed of a quick lunch, at least in my book. It’s a simple change, slowing down, but it’s made a huge difference to how I feel, both physically and mentally. What about you? Do you find yourself rushing through meals a lot? I’m just wondering!
