平均来说,我们每个人据称每天需要咀嚼800到1400次。
But Dr Nick Read, chief medical adviser for charity The IBS Network, said a change in our diet means we don't need to chew as often as in the past.
但是慈善机构The IBS Network首席医学顾问尼克•里德博士却表示,饮食的变化意味着我们不必再像从前一样吃东西嚼那么多次了。
He said: ‘The Victorians thought you needed to chew food 14 times but we generally wait until it feels right and then swallow - it’s intuitive.’
他说:“维多利亚时期的人认为一口食物得嚼14次才行,但我们现在只要嚼到自己觉得可以了便将食物吞下,这是一种本能。”
But because our diet has become softer, thanks to all that processed food, we now don’t need to chew for so long.
但多亏了加工食品的出现,我们的食物变得更软了,因此我们吃东西也不必再嚼那么长时间了。
However, raw fruit and vegetables, and meat, demand more chewing.
然而,新鲜水果、蔬菜和肉类需要更多的咀嚼。
Dr Read said: ‘If you don’t, lumps of food will pass through your digestive system and not be completely absorbed.'
里德博士说:“如果嚼得不够的话,成块的食物便会直接通过你的消化系统,从而不能被身体完全吸收。”
