WHAT QUALIFICATIONS ARE SLOW AND FAST EATING?

Slower eating generally take longer than 30 minutes to finish a meal, while swift eating make short work of theirs in less than 20 days, according to Dr Jessica Beh, a family practitioner with DTAP@Robertson.

According to her,” the typical amount of time most people take to complete a meal may vary, depending on individual eating routines and cultural norms.” ” A typical range is 20 minutes for a snack and 30 minutes for a major dinner.”

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH SLOW EXPERIENCE, WHY DO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPOSITE?

If you’re a sluggish eater, it may have to do with interruptions during breakfast or medical health issues, said Dr Beh. People who tend to have while engaging in other activities like reading, cooking, or talking to dinner friends may have more slowly because their attention spans eating and the other activity, she said.

According to Dr. Beh, chewing can be difficult and delayed due to pain from ill fitting dentures or other dental health issues, while some people prefer to eat slowly and take their time with each bite.
