Do you chew your food well or just go fast at it?

[AmberTea]

My digestion would at times be better, if I chewed slower before swallowing,
been a fast eater all of my life!

I chew food fast because I can't wait to get to the next bite.
Even faster if it's something sweet.

 

[Don M.]

With my "aging" teeth, I have no choice but to eat slower, and take smaller bites. If I tried to eat like I did years ago, I would probably choke.

I take my time and chew my food very well.

 

[Aunt Bea]

It's something that I've worked on since I stopped working and have unlimited time.

Years ago I was a very fast and efficient eater due to limited time for meals at school and at work.

I remember being embarrassed on a few occasions in restaurants when I finished my meal well before the other people at the table.

 

[Keesha]

Chew well

 

[Aunt Marg]

Dear husband is a savage at the table, and I'm right behind him.

For the past few years now I've been working on reminding myself to chew and eat slower.

 

[Gary O']

I eat like somebody is gonna take it away from me

'Chew'

Interesting

I may try that

Chewing well makes it easier on the stomach to process the food. Taking sips of water often while eating provides lubrication as well.

Bea.....I can almost hear your guests whispering....."The greedy Minx has scoffed her's already, don't turn your back or she'll have yours too."

 

[Ferocious]

I read somewhere that some tribe or other have relatives to pre-chew their food for them......well, I don't fancy that.

Step back that fork is sharp!

I chew my food properly, a couple of friends always finish their meals first, knocking it back like there’s no tomorrow !

 

[Aneeda72]

Always a slow eater, chew, chew, chew

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I was always a fast eater but now with several teeth missing I had to chew longer. I fixed the situation ,I now cut it smaller on my plate and scarf it down just as fast as I did before. Where there's a will there's a way.

 

[AmberTea]

there is the option of pureeing our foods in a blender and drinking them, if
we can't chew well?

And, Ruth, will some teeth missing, when you are baking a plate-pie, you can make a neat pattern around the rim of the pie.

I chew slowly. It's much healthier for you and easier to digest your food if you chew slowly and eat slowly. You're also less apt to overeat by eating slowly.

 

[fancicoffee13]

I used to chew fast, looking forward to eating all this delicious food until, I recently had some problems involuntarily biting the inside of my mouth! So, I have slowed way down, chew it well, enjoy the food more and my digestion is probably better. I have to practice this, it didn't come overnight.

This is how one of my disabled sons eats

I don't shovel it down my throat, but I definitely don't chew as well as I should while eating and eat faster than advised.

 

[Keesha]

My husband doesn’t chew his food well at all. We couldn’t be more polar opposite. He had to get tested today since someone at his work was tested positive for the virus. Now he has a sore throat. Anyway he came back home famished and made some hotdogs and a hamburger. He eats so fast that I’m surprised that he even tastes it.Yrs I’m a bit worried but we will get through anything together.

Speedy, used to be fed last out of seven children, and finish the meal first even with this handicap. My sister to my immediate left was as slow as treacle, so she always finished last by a long chalk. .

 

[IrisSenior]

I chew my food well. Hubby can swallow strands of spaghetti whole, this always fascinates me. Our son is a gulper too. I eat less on my plate so they both aren't watching me finish the rest.

 

[old medic]

slow and enjoy....
