4 Reasons Why You Should Chew Your Food Properly Before You Swallow. by Afriglobalmedia: 12:38pm On Dec 21, 2017
4 reasons why you should chew your food properly before you swallow.

Healthy digestion and nutrient absorption begin with the simple act of chewing your food. When you chew your food properly, your body releases digestive enzymes in the stomach that helps to break down food so that your body can convert it into energy.
Here are the reasons why you should chew your food properly before you swallow

1. Activates digestion process
Digestion process begins with chewing: chewing your food many times, breaks the food into tiny particles and secrete saliva that further helps in breaking down the food. Saliva has enzymes that help digest starch and fats in your mouth.

2. Helps absorb more nutrients
When you chew your food multiple times, it becomes easier for your intestines to absorb nutrients from the food

3. Exercises your teeth
Chewing food thoroughly is a wonderful exercise for your teeth. The saliva secreted while chewing food cleans up bacteria from your teeth and prevents tooth decay.

4. Benefits your intestine
When you eat in a hurry, there are chances that large food particles remain undigested in your intestine, leading to health problems such as constipation, gas, and diarrhea.
