The secret of staying slim could be as simple as keeping your mind on your meals. Research suggests that 1ourselves from distractions and concentrating completely on the food that is in front of us, helps us stay in 2. Such ‘mindful eating’ ensures that the 3is in tune with (協(xié)調(diào)) the body, enabling it to ‘hear’ the chemical 4that tell it that we are full。
Digestion 5 a complex series of signals between the gut (腸道)and the nervous system and it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to tell that the body has eaten enough. This means that if someone eats too 6, the signals will come slowly, leading to 7.
Scientists say that distractions make it8for us to remember what we have eaten. This absent-mindedness stops us from feeling 9 – and sends us reaching for some snacks later on. It is thought that our memory of what we have eaten plays a key role in 10 appetite. This means that distractions stop us from remembering the detail of what we have eaten – leaving us feeling 11.
Advocates of mindful eating 12chewing food slowly and taking note of its color, smell and flavor. Before 13 dieters should ask themselves if they are really hungry---and if not, distract themselves by going for a walk or reading. Done14, mindful eating may not only leave you 15, but also make you enjoy mealtimes.
