Nautinnollinen ateria vai Leijonan haukkaus?

Kuulutko siihen ihmisryhmaan, joka viidessa minuutissa hotkaisee ruokansa siina samalla kun selaa paivanlehtia, facebookia, blogeja...jne? Ruokailu menee siina sivussa, eika nauttimisesta ole tietoakaan... Ja hups, lautanen onkin jo tyhja! Taytyy myontaa, etta itsekin syyllistyn valilla samaan  virheeseen, varsinkin silloin, jos on kiljuva nalka... Aamuisin on kiva lukea uutiset aamupalan aarella, mutta nyt olen ainakin tietoinen, ja hiljennan vauhtia, jos nayttaa silta, etta kokonainen omena menee parilla puraisulla :D

Ruoka tulisi, monestakin syysta, pureskella kunnolla, silla ruuansulatus alkaa jo suussa! Ruuan pureskelu pienempiin osiin on siis tarkeaa myos ruuansulatuksen kannalta. Ruuan kunnollinen pureskelu ehkaisee myos liika syomiselta, silla 20 minuutissa  vatsa on taynna riippumatta ruuan maarasta! Kukaan tuskin jaksaa samaa haarukallista sataa kertaa jauhaa, mutta jo tietoisuus hiljentamisesta auttaa, ja nautit ruokailustasi ja ruuastasi paljon enemman!

Meneeko kokonainen dumpling
kurkusta alas ihan huomaamatta?

Are you one of those, who can empty the plate in 5minutes, maybe reading papers or checking facebook at the same time? Eating goes by and oops, the plate is empty! Did you have time to enjoy your food or is it just like a petrol, what you need?Well.. I have to say, that sometimes I make the same mistake, and read the news in the morning while I am having my breakfast... But at least I am aware of it, and slow down, if looks like I am having the whole apple with few bites :D

It's not only about the enjoyment, but about the digestion too! Digestion starts already in the mouth, so its really important to chew the food in smaller pieces so the digestion can properly start. It also prevents from over eating! Nobody can chew 100 times, but just to be aware of it and slow down!
