In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to find ourselves rushing through meals. In fact, we can be in such a hurry that we don't even think to fully chew our food. And when we eat so quickly that we're swallowing each bite without really chewing, we miss out on more than just the enjoyment of the flavors and textures. That’s because chewing serves important biological and psychological functions. So when we skip this necessary step, we can limit the nutritional value of our meal and create unwanted eating habits. Join Emily Rosen, Director of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, as she breaks down the fascinating and complex evolutionary purpose behind our need to "crunch" in this new podcast episode. We guarantee it'll give you something to chew on.
