Chinese grandmother wisdom for achieving optimal weight.

Research demonstrates that obesity is associated with high levels of back pain and disability. Maintaining a healthy weight can help us relieve back pain. One piece of Chinese grandmother wisdom may help you to achieve a healthy weight.

Chinese grandmothers often remind their family during meals; chew thoroughly, swallow slowly.  细嚼慢咽, Xì jiáo màn yàn.  Scientific research demonstrates the following benefits from this wisdom: a healthy weight, better digestion, and lower blood sugar.

It takes time to embody this wisdom. From time to time, my mom still reminds me: eat slowly.
