How Long Should You Spend Eating Dinner?
if you’re the speedy eater type, there’s a good chance you wolf down your meals in 5-10 minutes. Instead, try to make every meal last 30 minutes. Dr Rosser explained that when you eat slowly, there’s no food backing up in your esophagus and there’s no pressure building up in the stomach. Eating too fast can cause gas, bloating, and other symptoms on top of acid reflux.
Dr Rosser suggested “going Euro” because in Europe, they don’t eat fast. It also helps to eat with someone because the more you talk, the slower you eat. You can also bring your own utensils or use small utensils. Dr Rosser believes those small changes can add up to big results.
