Eat Slowly To Avoid Diabetes - Are you have a habit of eating quickly or in a hurry? We recommend that you change your eating habits from now on, because some studies have shown that eating in a hurry could have an impact on obesity.

A recent study proves that eating quickly can cause you to develop diabetes in old age. That's because the person who used to just give a little chew before swallowing their food, will increase the amount of sugar in the blood stream immediately. As a result, the body will be more prone to impaired glucose tolerance, also known as prediabetes.

Dr Pradeep Ratnaparkhi, researchers who study this topic said, "The level of blood glucose in people with impaired glucose tolerance is higher than usual, so they are at high risk of diabetes". Prediabetes conditions that are not controlled will quickly cause type 2 diabetes. "In the last 10 years these people are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with a percentage of 50 percent," he explained.

Pradeep said, eating too fast can also cause an increase in the number of calories consumed. This condition will eventually lead to weight gain which in turn is associated with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Vice versa, by eating slowly a normal person will feel full more quickly.

Ratnaparkhi suggested, "Healthy food and regular exercise can help people with pre-diabetes to keep their glucose levels under control. So, eat slowly to stay slim and fit," he said.

Hopefully useful!
