研究表明 吃饭太快或易患代谢综合征
Eating slowly could make you less likely to become obese or develop metabolic syndrome, according to preliminary research.
根据初步研究表明，细嚼慢咽不太可能让你患上肥胖或代谢综合征。
This is likely because eating quickly may cause fluctuations in your blood sugar, which can lead to insulin resistance.
这可能是因为吃得太快会导致血糖波动，从而导致胰岛素抵抗。
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of disorders that multiply a person's risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
代谢综合征是一种紊乱综合征，会增加患心脏病、糖尿病和中风的风险。
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.
当一个人有腹部肥胖、高血糖、高血压、高甘油三酯/或低HDL胆固醇这些症状时，往往就会患有代谢综合征。
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.
根据美国心脏协会2017年科学会议的研究显示，吃饭更慢一些是保持身体健康的关键。
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，日本广岛大学的研究人员对642名男性和441名女性进行了评估，他们的平均年龄为51.2岁，没有人患过代谢综合征。
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.
根据这些参与者们描述的平时的饮食速度，他们被分为了三组：慢速、正常和快速。五年后，研究人员重新对他们进行了测评。
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).
他们发现，快食者(11.6%)比正常饮食者(6.5%)和慢食者(2.3%)更易患上代谢综合症。
"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.
该研究的作者、日本广岛大学的心脏病专家Takayuki Yamaji称：“吃饭更慢一些可能是生活方式的一次重要改变，这样做有助于预防代谢综合征。”
"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."
“当人们进食快时，他们往往会感觉不到饱，就很可能会吃得更多。快速进食会引发更大的血糖波动，进而导致胰岛素抵抗。”
