We have teeth for a reason…
We should develop a habit of chewing all food including liquid food and soft foods like sweets, ice creams at least 8 to 12 times. This is essential to add saliva to the food, as it is only in the saliva that sugar is digested.
Often we find that whatever goes into our mouth goes down like lightning. We hardly give the saliva any time to act on the food.
So does digestion take place like it should? Do we just stuff our tummies with food that doesn’t get digested or in other words that doesn’t yield the benefits that it should?
It takes twenty minutes for the signals to go from your stomach to your brain telling it that your full and don’t need to eat any thing else. By chewing your food and taking more time to eat your meals, you will feel full up sooner.
If you stop eating when you get that full up feeling, you will lose weight.
