Kenshin's Words

Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die,
'cause you never had time to call and say "hi"?
You better slow down, don't dance too fast,
time is short, the music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through each day,
it is like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life is not a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before the song is over.

"How to consume FOOD"

Posted by Galaxy of Kenshin



Eat to live and not live to Eat .. its a most famous quotes which i'm hearing from my childhood onwards. Some joint family people did not follow this. so the final result would be overweight and obesity.

People are not taking the food properly I mean they are not chewing the food fully before swallowing .Even though we have time to eat slowly people are so fast intake it. What happens when food is thoroughly chewed and swallowed?

Have you heard of chew count of foods? Each time when you intake food it should be chewed at least 20 times foods which are soft need very little chewing. Liquid food and very soft foods can be swallowed with out chewing. Solid foods and crisp foods need to be chewed well.

Meat require more chewing than cooked vegetables.Chewing breaks down food molecule,and exposing them to saliva to begin the digestion process. If food is swallowed without chewing it will take longer time to digest or else it will be indigestion sometimes finally it will leads to fermentation and flatulence.



In general hard food substance will take longer time for digestion and thereby it will pass over the digestive system slowly to release glucose slowly in the blood. This is called glycaemic index.. It will vary in the same food substance depends upon the preparation of the food..

At the same time while your chewing food it wont disturb others by your loud chomping. Further when chewed with open mouth there is chance of swallowing air along with your food substance which will affect your digestion. so make it with in closed mouth.

One more advantage of chewing the food is your mouth is being exercised while body is at complete rest..

So folk's start to chew your food well from today onwards to lead a healthy and long life.
