Chew Your Food!

Chewing is an extremely important part of healthy digestion. People think digestion starts in the stomach when actually it starts in the mouth. Most people put food in their mouth, chew a few times and swallow their food. Our mothers were right when they told us to chew our food and you should listen. The benefits of thoroughly chewing your food go beyond improved digestion. It will make you slow down when you are eating thus making more space for the enjoyment of your food. Your meals will begin to taste even better when there is more focus on the process and act of eating. By chewing your food well, you will be able to better enjoy your meal.
