Researchers identify the key habits that help adults eat more slowly

Eating slowly and chewing well in Japanese adults were strongly associated with savoring food and avoiding eating with a full mouth, with oral health playing an important supporting role. These behaviours varied across age and gender groups, highlighting cultural eating practices and dental factors that shape how people eat across adulthood.
