Most of the time we gulp and swallow our food down quickly. We hardly chew our food so to speak. The moment the food is in our mouth, we take a few bites and down it goes into our stomach. Chewing food properly before swallowing is important as it helps us digest our food more properly and put less strain on the stomach muscle. Food that is not broken properly could cause bacteria overgrowth thus resulting in flatulence and other types of indigestion related complications.
Chewing food properly contributes to proper weight management due the fact that fat digestions begin in our mouth. The secretion of the enzyme lingua lipase by the glands located under our tongue helps to break down triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Fatty acid is essential in helping the regulate blood pressure and boosting our immune system. High level of triglycerides in our blood stream is dangerous as it could increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Thus try to make it a habit to chew the food in our mouth 30 times or so before we swallow it. Apart from the above reasons, we could enjoy our meals better when we take time to chew our food properly.
