7 IMPORTANT BENEFITS OF CHEWING YOUR FOOD

7 IMPORTANT BENEFITS OF CHEWING YOUR FOOD

WHY CHEWING IS THE MOST CRITICAL ELEMENT OF PROPER NUTRITION YOU MAY BE MISSING

“Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate.”

― Horace Fletcher

So you’ve dialed in your nutrition, followed a strict macronutrient plan, and you still aren’t experiencing results? The solution could be far simpler than you can imagine: chewing your food 32 times every bite.

While it’s true that we are what we eat, we are also how we eat. In our busy society, too many individuals rush through meals, skip chewing their food, or simply wash down what they put in their mouth with a variety of liquids. Such food practices lead to serious digestive issues and consistent overeating because the body is not getting any nutrition from the poorly chewed food. The failure to properly chew food can also lead to bloating and weight gain.

Therefore proper nutrition isn’t just about meeting macros and eating quality foods. It’s about producing the right hormonal responses in the body to food. This can be all accomplished by simply chewing your food!

CHEWING AND THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

When one thinks about what makes up the human digestive system, one typically visualizes the stomach and the intestinal tract only. This leads many to believe that digestion starts in the stomach. However, what this common perception is missing is the actual starting point for the entire digestive process: the mouth. The physical act of digesting food starts in your mouth, not in the stomach. This is perhaps one of the most critical reasons why you need to chew your food an appropriate amount of times. It sets up the entire digestive process for success by allowing nutrients in food to actually be utilized by the body for its natural processes.

When it comes to the actual act of chewing, your teeth, tongue, and salivary glands all play critical roles that set up the digestive process. Your teeth grind down consumed food into more manageable and smaller bites, your salivary glands secrete various enzymes on the food to aid in absorption, and your tongue manipulates the food in your mouth to get it finely chewed before it enters the stomach.

Answer:

The simple act of chewing food in your mouth helps to break down larger particles of food into smaller particles. This helps to reduce stress on the oesophagus and thereby helps the stomach to metabolise your food. When food is chewed thoroughly, you also release a lot of saliva, which contains digestive enzymes.

Hope this helps.....
