BEST DENTAL HYGIENE IN ANNA NAGAR! Digestion begins in our mouth, not our stomach. The nutrients we need for optimal health and well-being begin with the choices we make at mealtime. However, what many overlook is that assimilating those foods requires proper digestion. Which starts in our mouth. If you’re like many, you don’t chew your food properly. People who don’t chew their food well enough before they swallow often develop digestive problems, and are also at a greater risk for: Choking – A mechanical obstruction of the airway that prevents normal breathing.Aspiration – An accidental sucking in of food particles or fluids into the lungs.Malnutrition – Getting too little or too much of certain nutrients.Dehydration – Excessive loss of body water often due to diarrhea.Weight gain – Eating too quickly tends to suppress a sense of fullness.
