Forget stopping to smell the roses…
When was the last time you stopped to chew our food?
That’s right, Chew your food?
Last time I checked, racing was no where to be founding under the definition of eating in the dictionary…
And unless you’re Tubnut McGee pictured below, pounding sustenance into your face like a bulimic warthog ain’t exactly the way to eat …
(I’m guessing that the porcelain throne is going to resemble ‘Tiny’s’ face once his cheeks get a hold of it)
Besides being poor table manners, inhaling your food poses a few health risks…
A) You could choke and end up dead; face down in a plate of Sloppy Joe’s.
B) You are never going to get a date looking like the guy ‘posing’ for the photograph…never. (if a guy like that did, I shudder at the thought of what a ‘dinner date’ would be like) –
C) Never getting a date = plenty of pent up sexual frustrating. By now, we’ve seen enough TV and tabloids to know the trouble that’ll get you into…
All kidding aside, most people don’t chew their food enough, even those who seem to eat like ‘normal people.’
Whether or not they know it, this puts mental and emotional stress on the body.
The mental stress is usually a result of thinking about something else while eating. More often than not, that something else is a stress causing thought…
Work, chores, your to do list, the report that’s got to be in this Friday, the prick who cut you off in traffic earlier, what are you going to make for supper, making sure you remember someone’s birthday, don’t forget to get a movie for tonight’s movie date, and on and on….
On the physical side, insufficient chewing means that you’re not maximizing the nutritional yield of the food. In other words, you’re not getting as much nourishment as you think, which means you’re performance and gains are going to less than what they can be. It means wasting money, too.
It can also cause upset stomachs and a general feeling of crappiness. (Yes, that is a multi-syllabic medical term)
For people like us who want to get the most out of our training, this isn’t the way we want to be eating.
Eating should be done in as relaxed a state as possible. And the food needs to be thoroughly chewed. (and yes, I know that isn’t easy for those of us with hectic lives and jobs.)
If you want even better results, I highly suggest that you think the thoughts that Bill Peal did while eating.
Now, I’m no fool. I’m fully aware that getting someone to actual gear down and focus on what their chewing on will be tough enough, let alone have them go along with the ‘mental mumbo-jumbo.’
But I’m not trying to convince anyone to do this…
The truth is that the winners will see the value in what they’ve just read, and then go about implementing it immediately…
Let me know how this works out for you…
