Why do our stomach seems to fill quicker when we eat slow compared to when we eat fast?
In: 6
The sensation of being full doesn’t just depend on the stomach filling up physically. There are lots of signals that get sent to your brain. Besides the signals from nerves in the stomach that sense how physically full it is, there are a bunch of hormone signals that tell the brain what kind of stuff is coming in. These take a little longer. So, if you eat slowly, your brain will start to get the message “we’re good, we got the stuff we need” even if the stomach is not full.
