Foreign media said studies showed that wolfing down increased the risk of obesity, heart disease and stroke.
In an age of frozen meals, fast food and walking snacks, the pleasure of fine dining has essentially become a luxury that is only available on specific occasions, the Daily Telegraph reported on November 13.
but a new study suggests that spending time enjoying every bite of food may be the secret to keeping your heart healthy and slim.
study by Japanese scientists found that people who chew slowly are less likely to gain weight or develop metabolic syndrome, a range of dangerous health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity that could endanger the heart.
new study, researchers followed more than 1,000 middle-age men and women for five years to find out how fast they ate and how healthy they were.
found that only 2.3 percent of slow eaters developed metabolic syndrome during the study period, compared with 6.5 percent of medium-speed eaters and 11.6 percent of fast eaters.
means fast eaters are four times more likely to have heart disease, diabetes and stroke. They were also more than twice as likely to gain three stone (1 quartz equals about 6.35 kg).
believe that eating too fast affects the amount of time the brain finds out how much calories the body eats.

Eating too fast can also trigger a rise in blood sugar, which can affect the effective functioning of insulin.
slowing down eating may be an important lifestyle change that can help prevent metabolic syndrome, " said Dr. Hiroshi Yamaiyama, a cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan and lead author of the study. "
" When people eat fast, they tend not to feel full and are more likely to eat too much. Eating fast triggers greater glucose fluctuations, which can lead to insulin resistance. In

study suggests that spending time eating instead of at work tables or snacking on the way home may help people stay healthy, according to the heart disease charity.
Professor Jeremi Pearson, deputy medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: "In short, it is important to note that many of us have a busy lifestyle, which may include eating quickly at our desks at lunchtime or hurrying to eat on our way home. When
