Well chewed is already half digested!
There is more truth in these words than you think!
because:
THE LONGER YOU CHEW
–> the smaller the food
–> the better for the digestive enzymes.
–> the higher the salivation
(–> less cavity!)
–> the better carbohydrates can be predigested in the mouth*.
–> the more thoroughly the food is then digested further
–> less fermentation processes occur in the intestine
–> less abdominal pain, flatulence and cramps occur
–> the healthier the intestinal flora
–> the better nutrients and vital substances can be utilized
–> faster feeling of saturation
AAAND
–> the less you eat
–> in the end losing weight is far easier
what you actually just need to remember:
BE A RUMINANT!
well, don’t take it literally, but just take an example from the cows in this aspect. Or have you ever seen a cow swallow food because of time pressure?
…half chewed and barely tasted?
No, they chew it and chew it, saving their digestive system a lot of work and on top there are all the positive side effects 🙂
So, you know what you have to do! Chew, chew and chew …
Have a good start to the week! 🙂
