In a rush to finish meals, the body doesn't get enough time to prepare for digestion. This one habit may seem small, but here’s what it can do over time:
🔹 Incomplete chewing → Food reaches the stomach in large chunks, making digestion harder.
🔹 Lack of digestive signals → Saliva, enzymes, and stomach acid don’t activate properly when eating fast.
🔹 Excess air swallowing → Leads to bloating, burping, and gas.
🔹 Missed fullness cues → Overeating becomes more likely, burdening the gut.
🔹 Poor nutrient absorption → Rushed eating means nutrients don’t break down properly.
