AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how eating quickly versus slowly affects certain hormones and blood sugar levels in healthy individuals from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- 24 volunteers participated in the research, eating the same breakfast at two different speeds while blood samples were collected for analysis.
- Results showed that eating slowly led to higher blood glucose and ghrelin levels, suggesting that eating at a normal pace may help maintain healthier hormone and sugar levels.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To study the effect of normal versus slow eating on serum ghrelin, glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels in healthy subjects from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Design And Methods: The specified breakfast meal was served on two randomized occasions to 24 healthy volunteers to eat with a normal pace or at a slow rate. Venous blood samples were collected at 7 time points for biochemical analysis.
Results: The slow ingestion of meals resulted in a significant increase in blood glucose and ghrelin levels as compared to normal pace of eating.
Conclusions: Normal eating speed appears to be beneficial for maintaining the optimal blood glucose and ghrelin levels.
