Registered dietitian and nutritionist, Jenna Rossi, highlights the importance of chewing food properly for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption. She explains how thorough chewing breaks down food, allows for better nutrient extraction, and can reduce digestive issues like bloating and gas.
A healthy gut and a hearty biome can benefit the body in myriad ways, aiding digestion, supporting energy levels and even among Gen Z and millennial social media users, who regularly discuss reversing chronic belly pains through nutrient-dense, plant-based meals and beverages. “It really just comes down to digestion,” she told the outlet this week. “Not only do we start to physically break down food in our mouths, but we have enzymes in our saliva that start to chemically break it down.
In addition to digestion, more chews means we’re massaging more nutrients out of our food, which benefits our guts.looked at almonds, and they compared people who chewed the almonds 10 times versus 40 times. They showed that if you chewed them 40 times, you actually absorb so much more of that good nutrition … So chewing your food is really important for the extraction of a lot of that nutrition instead of pooping it out.
“And then, every meal, just focus on the first two mouthfuls having that extra three ,” Rossi continued. “And then if every couple of weeks you can add an extra one or two chews, then by six months, you’re hitting quite a good number of chews.
