Speedy eaters

Speedy eaters seen likelier to get fat

Japanese researchers said people who eat quickly and 3 times are more likely to be overweight. Eating styles and overeating unlikely unbalance time will cause a serious affect in human health and mind. The World Health Organization classifies around 400 million people as obese, 20 million of them under the age of five. The condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart problems.

• For their study about half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full. About 45 % of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quickly. Those who said they ate until full and ate quickly were 3 times more likely to be fat than people in the "not eating until full and not eating quickly" group, the researchers found. They cited as causes both the availability of cheap food in big portions and habits like watching television while eating.
  
  To counteract the "supra-additive effect" of speedy or glut eating among children prone to obesity, parents should encourage them to eat slowly.
