تناول الطعام بسرعة يؤدي للسمنة

Welcome to BBC Xtra English.

Today Kaz and Enas talk about the dangers of fast eating.

Osaka University in Japan studied over 3000 people to look at the effects of fast eating.

They found out that people who wolfed down their food were twice as likely to be overweight as those who eat slowly.

Wolfing down your food could also lead to obesity.

Wolfing down your food means eating quickly and with lots of enthusiasm.

Our journalist asked people if they knew what the effects of eating quickly might be.

We had a lot of interesting replies!

Many of the people sounded bemused, but one of them said that eating quickly can cause obesity.

Another person said it can cause bloating and indigestion.

The problem with eating quickly is that it doesn't give your brain enough time to tell your stomach to digest your food.

I eat my food very quickly and it is true that it causes bloating as well as indigestion. If I get three times food, within a month, my weight goes high. Thanks for this study and research and after reading your findings, I will try to eat my food a bit slow and I will experience it my self to see what happens next
