CHEWING

Guess you are trying to figure out what this blog will be all about. Well, chewing is about losing weight. Bet you didn't think about that!! Chewing results in better health, improved digestion and higher absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. And best of all - it doesn't cost you anything!! Amazing things happen when you chew your food slowing. All digestion starts in your mouth as your saliva acts as a highly complex factory. Saliva contains calcium, phosphorus and fluoride molecules that act to promote the mineralization of eroded areas on the teeth. That is for starters. The actual action of chewing mechanically breaks down very large particles of food into smaller particles. No surprises there! By swallowing smaller pieces of food, your food is exposed to saliva for a longer period of time, resulting in less acidity in your stomach and better absorption of nutrients.
