The Benefits of Chewing

There is a very old and wise saying that states…

"It's not what you eat, it's what you absorb!"

For optimum absorption of nutrients, food needs to be mixed with four types of saliva’s that are produced by the organs of digestion.

I. the mouth secretes saliva (ptyalin)
II. the stomach secretes saliva (pepsin)
III. the pancreas secretes saliva (trypsin)
IV. the liver secretes saliva (gall)

All solid foods must be liquefied before the body can absorb the nutrients contained within them. If solid foods are not made into liquids, the body cannot absorb the foods goodness.

As always, how we start this process of digestion is the most important, so listen to the voice of wisdom and chew each mouthful of food at least twenty times, minimum.

Remember, for optimal vitality and health, you must get the most out of what you eat, so... CHEW your FOOD!

Stay strong people.
