Find Out What Can Happen to Your Body When You Eat in a Hurry

It's a habit that some people have, but the truth is that it can be harmful. A nutrition expert reveals everything.

Sometimes, some days are more complicated than others and you don't have time to eat as you would like. Eating quickly ends up being a solution, but the truth is that it can end up having consequences.

Ana Luzón is a nutrition and dietetic technician and revealed to the blog aggregator HuffPost what can happen to your body when you eat this type of food. Firstly, she points out that it can be harmful to digestion.

"Eating quickly means that you don't chew your food properly, which makes the digestive process more difficult. Your stomach has to work harder, which can cause discomfort, such as bloating, gas or heartburn," she explains.

On the other hand, your body may not realize that you are full. "If you eat quickly, you are likely to continue eating after you have reached an adequate level of satiety, which can lead to overeating and an increase in blood pressure," she continues.

It can also lead to weight gain, also for the same reason. "It may be something to check if this is a recurring habit."

You should also pay attention to your glucose levels. "It can be harmful for people who have insulin resistance or diabetes."
