Many people voiced this claim, but since chewing the food does not reduce the calorie of the food we receive, how can this claim be true? Thanks for your answers.
Yes it does. Eating slowly and chewing foods increases the feeling of satiety and helps you lose weight. Slow food also contributes to your health and quality of life. According to the research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, chewing food 40 times instead of 15 leads you to eat 12% less food. In the research, Jie Li from Harbin Medical University in China examined 14 obese teens and 16 normal weight teens to see if there was any difference in their chewing. The researchers looked at whether more chewing caused subjects to eat less, whether they affect blood sugar levels and hormones. It was determined that there was a connection between the amount of chewing and the level of hormones that transmit to the brain "when to start and when to finish."
