研究表明 吃飯太快或易患代謝綜合徵

Eating slowly could make you less likely to become obese or develop metabolic syndrome, according to preliminary research.
根據初步研究表明，細嚼慢嚥不太可能讓你患上肥胖或代謝綜合徵。

This is likely because eating quickly may cause fluctuations in your blood sugar, which can lead to insulin resistance.
這可能是因爲吃得太快會導致血糖波動，從而導致胰島素抵抗。

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of disorders that multiply a person's risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
代謝綜合徵是一種紊亂綜合徵，會增加患心臟病、糖尿病和中風的風險。

It occurs when someone has any of three risk factors that include abdominal obesity, high fasting blood sugar, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and/or low HDL cholesterol.
當一個人有腹部肥胖、高血糖、高血壓、高甘油三酯/或低HDL膽固醇這些症狀時，往往就會患有代謝綜合徵。

According to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2017, eating more slowly could be the key to keeping your health and body in check.
根據美國心臟協會2017年科學會議的研究顯示，吃飯更慢一些是保持身體健康的關鍵。

A team from Hiroshima University in Japan evaluated 642 men and 441 women with an average age of 51.2 years, none of whom had metabolic syndrome, in 2008.
2008年，日本廣島大學的研究人員對642名男性和441名女性進行了評估，他們的平均年齡爲51.2歲，沒有人患過代謝綜合徵。

The participants were divided into three categories based on how they described their usual eating speed: slow, normal or fast. Five years later, the researchers reassessed the participants.
根據這些參與者們描述的平時的飲食速度，他們被分爲了三組：慢速、正常和快速。五年後，研究人員重新對他們進行了測評。

They found that the fast eaters were more likely (11.6 per cent) to have developed metabolic syndrome than normal eaters (6.5 per cent) and slow eaters (2.3 per cent).
他們發現，快食者（11.6%）比正常飲食者（6.5%）和慢食者（2.3%）更易患上代謝綜合症。

"Eating more slowly may be a crucial lifestyle change to help prevent metabolic syndrome," said Takayuki Yamaji, M.D., study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan.
該研究的作者、日本廣島大學的心臟病專家Takayuki Yamaji稱：“吃飯更慢一些可能是生活方式的一次重要改變，這樣做有助於預防代謝綜合徵。”

"When people eat fast they tend not to feel full and are more likely to overeat. Eating fast causes bigger glucose fluctuation, which can lead to insulin resistance."
“當人們進食快時，他們往往會感覺不到飽，就很可能會吃得更多。快速進食會引發更大的血糖波動，進而導致胰島素抵抗。”
