IN OBSERVING MY 94 YEAR OLD FATHER-IN-LAW WHO OUT LIVED HIS WIFE BY TWENTY YEARS AND THREE OF HIS CHILDREN. HE NEVER HURRIED THRU HIS MEALS. HE WAS A FARMER MOST OF HIS LIFE AND NEVER HAD TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME HE TOOK TO EAT. HE ENJOYED HIS FOOD AND SAVORED EACH BITE. YOUR TASTE BUDS ARE IN YOUR MOUTH. I HAVE OBSERVED THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE OVIOUSLY OVERWEIGHT CHEW THEIR FOOD ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM CHOKING WHEN THEY SWALLOW. THE DON'T TASTE THEIR FOOD AND PUT A BURDEN ON THEIR STOMACH TO DIGEST THE LUMPS OF FOOD. CHEWING YOUR FOOD NOT ONLY ALLOWS YOU TO TASTE IT BUT AIDS IN THE DIGESTION AND THE BODIES ABILITY TO CONVERT THE NUTRIENTS TO ENERGY. IT SEEMS TO BE MISSING FROM THE ADVISE TO OVER WEIGHT PEOPLE. BACK TO BASICS.
