8. It pays to eat slowly
The frantic pace of our lifestyles can lead us to eat anxiously, not chew our food enough, and eat in a rush off the corner of the table, in front of the computer or even in the car. Yet, taking your time when eating offers numerous benefits…
Eating slowly to prevent overeating
Since the feeling of satiety is not immediate, the more time you take to appreciate your food, the more time you allow your brain to decode the messages sent by your body. In fact, the simple act of eating slowly can help with weight loss, or at the very least, contribute to the maintenance of a healthy weight. To slow down, put down your utensils every two bites and drink water or milk during meals.
More enjoyment
Eating one bite at a time allows you to savour your food more. To do so, take the time to sit down, eat with enjoyable people and focus on your meal while avoiding distractions 
such as the television. Slowing down during mealtimes means taking care of your health and savouring gastronomic pleasures!
A better digestion
Did you know that an important part of digestion occurs in the mouth thanks to an enzyme produced by your saliva? Therefore, the slower you eat, the better your food is chewed, and the more the rest of your digestion is facilitated.
