DIGESTION STARTS IN THE MOUTH

Did you know that digestion starts in the mouth? Enzymes are released (in saliva) to breakdown food, and the mechanical action of chewing food helps break it down too. Many digestive issues are caused by poor digestion, and in many instances just this simple action of SLOWING DOWN can help. Try this very simple strategy… put your knife/fork/spoon down between mouthfuls. Sounds easy hey? But you would be surprised!
