ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chewing or mastication is the process by which food is crushed and ground by teeth. It is the first step of digestion, and it increases the surface area of foods to allow a more efficient break down by enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chewing your food longer breaks it down more which helps your stomach digest it. In addition, when you eat slowly, you give your brain a heads up to signal your stomach to let the digestion begin.

Detailed explanation-3: -chewing, also called mastication, up-and-down and side-to-side movements of the lower jaw that assist in reducing particles of solid food, making them more easily swallowed; teeth usually act as the grinding and biting surface. In cats and dogs, food is reduced only to a size that permits easy swallowing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chew every single bite of food 40 times. Put your utensils down between bites. Eat with another slow eater (everyone knows one!) Chew with the non-dominant side of your mouth. Or eat with your non-dominant hand. Call someone up while you eat. More items •07-Apr-2019
