Shigeru Saito, formerly a professor at Kanagawa Dental University, has brought a boon to patients with visceral fat syndrome. He said, “Visceral fat syndrome can also be prevented by chewing slowly.” According to Saito’s research, chewing stimulates the satiety center in the brain, prompting the body to consume energy and causing visceral fat to break down and burn. If you don’t chew and swallow slowly, but gulp down your food, you will have difficulty getting a sense of satiety, leading to overeating.
Affected by the ever-increasing soft foods, the number of times modern people chew is much lower than that of the ancients. Now elementary school students, college students on average chew a bite of rice for about 10.5 times, only 2, 3 times chewed also a lot of people. Before World War II, the average Japanese people chewed each mouthful of rice 30 times. Saito advocates that a bite of rice chewed 30 times, a meal chewed 1500 times. To do this, put the chopsticks down after the food is delivered to the mouth. First chew with the right side of the teeth 5 times, then chew with the left side of the teeth 5 times, and then repeat once, and finally chew with both sides of the teeth 10 times, so that it is easy to get a sense of satiety.
