Eat Slowly

In our bustling modern lives, it can be all too easy to wolf down
our meals on the go, and never take the time to enjoy them
properly. In this episode, Michael Mosley finds out how simply
slowing down the speed at which you eat can help you feel full
for longer, snack less, and improve your digestion. Michael
speaks to Dr Sarah Berry from the department of nutritional
sciences at King's College London, who shares findings showing
that eating slower can reduce your blood sugar response to food,
as well as reducing your calorie intake. Our volunteer Stewart
tries to make eating slowly a habit in an attempt to improve his
sleep.
