Eat Slowly!

Okayyy. I am here posting after a long gap..
I have always been a slow eater.. Everyone around will finish and be ready to get off the table, but I would still be eating.. Sometimes it was a lil embarrassing to keep others waiting and/or thinking on how much I eat ;)
Thought sharing an article on some of the benefits of eating slowly..
Important point(s) being:
"Japanese researches found that eating fast is associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a silent condition that increases the chances of developing diabetes and heart disease. Also, fast eating seems to be a risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (combination of the symptoms such as high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance)."

and "Eating slowly gradually reduces the appetite from the time you begin to eat. It takes the brain about 15-20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. And if you have no appetite, you end up eating less"
