我们日常生活中的一个问题是我们许多人匆忙地过了一整天，却没有时间做其他事情……而且，当我们有时间随便吃点东西时，我们却狼吞虎咽起来。
That leads to stressful, unhealthy living.
这会导致压力，一种不健康的生活。
And with the simple but powerful act of eating slower, we can begin to reverse that lifestyle immediately. How hard is it? You take smaller bites, you chew each bite slower and longer, and you enjoy your meal longer.
简单而有效地慢慢品尝，我们就可以立即扭转这种生活方式。 这有多难呢？你可以小口地咬食物，咀嚼每一口都减慢速度和延长时间，那你可以享受你的饭菜更长的时间。
It takes a few minutes extra each meal, and yet it can have profound effects.
每一餐都需要额外的几分钟，但它可以产生深远的效果。
You may have already heard of the Slow Food Movement, started in Italy almost two decades ago to counter the fast food movement. Everything that fast food is, Slow Food isn’t.
你可能已经听说了慢餐运动，它起始于意大利近20年前的反快餐运动。一切都是快餐，而不是慢餐。
If you read the Slow Food Manifesto, you’ll see that it’s not just about health — it’s about a lifestyle. And whether you want to adopt that lifestyle or not, there are some reasons you should consider the simple act of eating slower:
如果您阅读了慢餐宣言，您就可以看到它不仅是健康——这是一种生活方式。您是否想采用这样一种生活方式，读了下面的原因，你就应该考虑这种慢慢吃的简单行为了。
1. Lose weight. A growing number of studies confirm that just by eating slower, you’ll consume fewer calories — in fact, enough to lose 20 pounds a year without doing anything different or eating anything different. The reason is that it takes about 20 minutes for our brains to register that we’re full. If we eat fast, we can continue eating past the point where we’re full. If we eat slowly, we have time to realize we’re full, and stop on time. Now, I would still recommend that you eat healthier foods, but if you’re looking to lose weight, eating slowly should be a part of your new lifestyle.
1、减肥。 越来越多的研究证实，只要慢慢吃，您会消耗更少的热量——事实上，一年足以失去20磅而无需做任何其它事情，或吃任何不同的东西。原因是它只用了约20分钟，却让我们的大脑记住我们吃饱了。如果我们吃的速度快，我们就可以继续吃，直到我们已经吃饱了。如果我们慢慢地吃，我们就有时间意识到我们吃饱了并及时停止。现在，我仍然会建议你吃更健康的食物，但如果您正考虑减肥，慢慢吃应该是你新生活方式的一部分。 5 Powerful Reasons to Eat Slower 慢慢吃——5个有力的原因(二) 2008-09-19 10:17 2. Enjoy your food. This reason is just as powerful, in my opinion. It’s hard to enjoy your food if it goes by too quickly. In fact, I think it’s fine to eat sinful foods, if you eat a small amount slowly. Think about it: you want to eat sinful foods (desserts, fried foods, pizza, etc.) because they taste good. But if you eat them fast, what’s the point? If you eat them slowly, you can get the same amount of great taste, but with less going into your stomach. That’s math that works for me. And that argument aside, I think you are just happier by tasting great food and enjoying it fully, by eating slowly. Make your meals a gastronomic pleasure, not a thing you do rushed, between stressful events.2、享受你的食物。在我看来，这个原因如此重要。如果你吃得太快的话，则很难享受食物的美味。事实上，如果你吃得慢，又吃得很少，我认为最好吃高热量的食物。想一想：您想要吃高热量食物（甜点，油炸食品，比萨饼等）的原因是它们的口味要好。但如果你吃得很快，会怎么样呢？如果你慢慢地吃它们，你可以得到同等强烈的口感，只是您吃得会很少。这对我来说很有效果。除此之外，我认为你的快乐不仅仅停留在品尝了美味的食物和充分地享受了它，还在于你在慢慢品尝。让您三餐感受到美食的快乐，而不是匆忙做事，还有在压力之间做事。
3. Better digestion. If you eat slower, you’ll chew your food better, which leads to better digestion. Digestion actually starts in the mouth, so the more work you do up there, the less you’ll have to do in your stomach. This can help lead to fewer digestive problems.
3、更好地消化。 如果你吃得慢一点，你会更好地咀嚼你的食物，从而得到更好的消化。消化事实上是从口部开始的，因此在那里咀嚼得多，胃的工作量就少。这还可以帮助减少消化的问题。
4. Less stress. Eating slowly, and paying attention to our eating, can be a great form of mindfulness exercise. Be in the moment, rather than rushing through a meal thinking about what you need to do next. When you eat, you should eat. This kind of mindfulness, I believe, will lead to a less stressful life, and long-term Happiness. Give it a try.
4、减少压力。 慢慢吃，专注于吃饭是我们留心练习的较好的形式。在这个时候，不用快速地吃完一餐，更不用思考下一步需要做什么。当你吃饭时，就应该吃饭。这种专注，我相信，将会减少生活的压力并带来长久的快乐。可以尝试一下。
5. Rebel against fast food and fast life. Our hectic, fast-paced, stressful, chaotic lives — the Fast Life — leads to eating Fast Food, and eating it quickly. This is a lifestyle that is dehumanizing us, making us unhealthy, stressed out, and unhappy. We rush through our day, doing one mindless task after another, without taking the time to live life, to enjoy life, to relate to each other, to be human. That’s not a good thing in my book. Instead, rebel against that entire lifestyle and philosophy … with the small act of eating slower. Don’t eat Fast Food. Eat at a good restaurant, or better yet, cook your own food and enjoy it fully. Taste life itself.
5、拒绝快餐和快节奏生活。 我们忙碌，快速，紧张，混乱的生活——快节奏生活——导致吃快餐并吃得很匆忙。这种生活方式会使我们失去尊严，不那么健康，很大压力和不满。我们快速地过一天，盲目地完成一个又一个任务，没有找出时间好好地生活，享受生活，联络朋友，成为你自己。在我的书里，这不是一件好事。相反，应告别这整个的生活方式和哲学……赞成慢慢吃的小小行为。不要吃快餐。在一个良好的餐厅吃饭，或更好的是，你自己烹饪食物和充分地享有它。完全地品味生活本身。
