Chew Your Food

Your mouth is where digestion begins. To make food easier for your digestive system's enzymes to digest, your teeth cut it up into smaller pieces. Nutrient absorption is thought to be decreased by improper chewing.

By fully chewing your meal, you reduce the amount of effort your stomach must do to turn the solid food into the liquid mixture that goes to your small intestine. Saliva is produced when you chew, and the longer you chew, the more saliva is created. By breaking down some of the carbohydrates and lipids in your food, saliva helps at the beginning of the digestive process in your mouth. Saliva functions in your stomach as a fluid that is combined with solid food to ensure a smooth passage into your intestines. You may ensure that you have enough saliva for digestion by fully chewing your food. This might help in avoiding signs like heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that chewing really lowers tension, which can enhance digestion.
