Slowing down

慢下来

Eat slower.

吃得慢一些。

Instead of cramming food down our throats as quickly as possible—leading to overeating and a lack of enjoyment of our food—learn to eat slowly.

不要尽可能快的把食物填满我们的喉咙——这样会导致我们吃的太多，并且享受不到食物带给我们的快乐，学着吃得慢一些。

Be mindful of each bite. Appreciate the flavors and textures. Eating slowly has the double benefit of making you fuller on less food and making the food taste better.

每一口都仔细品味。欣赏食物的味道和质地。吃得慢一些有两个好处，不仅可以让你吃得少一些就能吃饱，还可以让食物更美味。

I suggest learning to eat more real food as well, with some great spices (instead of fat and salt and sugar and frying for flavor).

我建议尝试吃更多有着非常好的香料的真正的食物（少吃一些脂肪、盐、糖含量高和油炸的东西）。
