Five Fantastic Benefits of Chewing Well Your Food Intake

Practical tips you can learn here at the 52 Healing Habits of Bo Sanchez. Sharing you just a glimpse of what's in it inside and more when you have a goal in your own health.

1. Chewing helps your body avoid all sorts of simple health problems. Obviously, you avoid blocking your
air passageway. You avoid indigestion. You avoid constipation. You avoid reflux or heartburn (which
injures your esophagus). According to some studies done in the US, about 44 percent experience reflux
or heartburn at least once a month, 20 percent have it every week and 7 percent suffer from it daily.

2. Chewing predigests your food. The enzymes in your saliva does this. When food isn’t digested well,
not only is your body shortchanged because it doesn’t get the nutrition in the food, undigested food also causes bacterial overgrowth in your colon. Not nice! For example, the enzyme ptylin is released only in your mouth. No other part of your digestive track has this enzyme. Ptylin is important to breakdown carbohydrates, such as grains, veggies, beans, fruits, bread, noodles… If you don’t chew well, the other enzymes down your digestive track won’t be able to digest these food very well. Even if you eat the best organic food, if you don’t chew well, you don’t maximize the nourishment from your food. What a waste!

3. Chewing increases food alkalinity. This reduces the acidity of the food you’re eating. Remember, if your food is highly acidic, your body has to get minerals from your blood and bones—which make your bones weaker.

4. Chewing makes you eat less. The hormones responsible for your sensation of fullness (leptin, ghrelin and cholesystokinin) will “tell your brain” that you’re full only after 20 to 40 minutes after digesting your food. By chewing longer, you’re giving yourself time for that message to reach your brain. Result? You’ll eat less, and overweight people will lose weight.

5. Chewing gives you more energy. Here’s why: When ptylin, the enzyme in your saliva, breaks down the
carbs that you eat, it produces glucose right in your mouth. This gets absorbed by your blood stream,
which becomes blood sugar or energy. If you eat good quality carbohydrates (veggies and fruits), all
your organs are supplied with the best blood sugar available.
