A good chewing is as important as what we eat. Did you know that we spend, on\u00a0average, one hour of our day chewing food? And it is during those moments that we\u00a0produce the energy to carry out the activities of our everyday life.<\/p>\n

Who best explains how it all works is Dr. Caroline Saman, a speech therapist:<\/p>\n

“If a person has muscles that are very flaccid or too rigid, if there isn\u2019t a fit between the\u00a0teeth to grind food, if the head is too far forward or backward, or if one breathes through\u00a0the mouth, the quality of chewing and, therefore, the process of digestion and also the\u00a0energy gain is impaired. The face contains many muscles, with a very complex structure\u00a0one in relation to another and, very often, the contraction of one of them causes the\u00a0contraction and \/ or the relaxation of several other muscles, since they function as a\u00a0whole. Therefore, if you correctly perform the movements during chewing, it can also\u00a0bring aesthetic benefits to your face.”<\/p>\n

Thus, Dr. Saman separated 8 tips that will make all the difference in the process of your\u00a0digestion and beauty:<\/p>\n

1- Look at your food<\/strong><\/p>\n

Realize the colors, pay attention to what is being ingested, and enjoy this moment.<\/p>\n

2 – Smell the food<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smell is very important, as it sends to the brain the information needed to process the\u00a0enzymes involved in the preparation for food digestion.<\/p>\n

3 – Only eat when you hungry<\/strong><\/p>\n

We must distinguish emotional hunger from true hunger. All food ingested while you\u00a0are not hungry will not be well metabolized and can become a toxin.<\/p>\n

4 – Think positively while eating<\/strong><\/p>\n

If, while eating, you feel anger, irritability, anxiety, or you doing it after a quarrel, for\u00a0example, it may have a negative influence throughout the energization process.<\/p>\n

5 – Wait to feed yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait at least 30 minutes after an exercise before you eat.<\/p>\n

6 – Chew slowly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leave the food in the mouth as long as possible to facilitate digestion through efficient\u00a0grinding and enzymatic action.<\/p>\n

7 – Make sure the food is going to both sides of the dental arch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chew on both sides and perform undulations in a more fluid manner, not sharply. It can\u00a0contribute to the balance of the facial muscles.<\/p>\n

8 \u2013 Make sure that your facial structures are compatible to achieve an efficient\u00a0<\/strong>chewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have questions regarding your mechanical chewing consult a phonoaudiologist.\u00a0And you should also know that chewing slowly can also help you lose weight.\u00a0According to Sports Nutritionist Rosane Martins \u201cDigestion begins in the mouth. And\u00a0when we chew more slowly, it gives time for the information to reach the brain with the\u00a0information that we are satiated. The person who eats more slowly, eats less, just\u00a0because it gives the brain the necessary time to receive the information that we have\u00a0eaten enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now you know it, right? We must always chew calmly, unhurried, and exercising the\u00a0facial muscles. It helps your digestion, and even helps you lose weight. A good tip!<\/p>\n
