Did you know that digestion starts in your mouth. Please guys, chew your food well. It's one of the most important mechanisms of digestion, yet more often than not, the most forgotten.
The whole idea of chewing is to help your digestion by reducing the size of food particles and maximize the surface area for your digestive juices to act on. Also chewing signals the other digestive organs to secrete their digestive juices (pancreatic enzymes, stomach acids etc) in order to prepare for the incoming food.
And please be mindful when you eat. If you are a gulper it will take some work to slow it down. Remind your self. Chew!!
