20 Everyday Habits That Are Silently Shortening Your Lifespan

16. Eating Too Fast Without Chewing Properly

Nowadays, people often eat their meals quickly between meetings, phone calls, or while watching their screens.

However, eating too fast and not properly chewing your food is a domino of negative reactions in your body, which you might not be aware of.

When you eat in a hurry your digestive system is stressed.

Your stomach is not provided with food broken down sufficiently from the mouth, this causes gas, regurgitation of stomach acid, and poor nutrient absorption.

Besides, fast eaters are more likely to eat more than they need to, and this will result in getting overweight, high insulin levels, and thus metabolic disorders.

Studies have even found that fast eating is associated with a higher risk of heart diseases and stroke.

Are you really saving time by eating quickly? You might be sacrificing your life span instead.
