Luke Coutinho explained that when we chew our food well, we directly improve the nutrient absorption in our body as the digestion process begins from the mouth itself. The salivary amylase and other chemicals present in our saliva breaks the food into simpler forms allowing the gut chemicals to work on it better.

However, slow eating would also ensure that you eat less, while those who eat fast consume more calories than their body requires or the calories that ain’t broken down into energy are eventually stored as fats in the body.
