Daily Tips: 4. Digestion starts where? Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing. Do you eat on the run, standing at the kitchen counter, sitting at your desk at work, or in the car doing errands? Consider chewing each bite 32 times for the number of teeth in your mouth. Chewing and saliva begin the breakdown of foods and the digestion process which is necessary for nutrients to be utilized by the body. Eat away from your desk in a relaxing environment, giving yourself a break from daily activities. Create a relaxing environment at home with candles, dim lights, music, and good conversation to enhance proper digestion. Turn off the TV, put away the newspaper, and focus on the tasty food. Eating fresh vegetables encourages chewing and enhances digestion with fiber and nutrients. Click this link for one of my favorite salads good for a main dish; just add a slice of whole grain bread. Enjoy and remember to chew! :-) healthcoachmt/kale-spinach-salad
