Weight Loss Could Be As Simple As Chewing More – Really

Trying to take off a few pounds can be very difficult and stressful. What if I told you that if you want to lose a few pounds, all you have to do is chew more? You would probably say I was a tool, but it's TRUE according to a new Chinese study which says, people who chew their food more will take in fewer calories, which could result in weight loss. According to the research, if you chew your food 40 times instead of the normal 15 times, you will eat 12 percent fewer calories. The key of course is in the brain because the act of chewing tells the brain when to begin and when to stop eating. The more you chew the higher the levels

of a hormone that reduces appetite. The average person would lose almost 25 pounds per year if they cut their calorie intake by 12 percent. Chewing more is certainly not a miracle cure by any means, but it's a good start. The key to weight loss is always moderation and being smart about what you eat. Food for thought.
