Key Takeaways

  • Chew food thoroughly (around 20 times per bite) to improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and satiety signaling.
  • Practice diaphragmatic breathing to strengthen the esophageal valve and reduce acid reflux.
  • Avoid mouthwash with alcohol or antiseptics, as it disrupts the beneficial oral microbiome.
  • Eat meals mindfully by putting down cutlery between bites and allowing time for fullness signals to register.
  • Prioritize eating with others to slow down meals and improve overall wellness.

Bottom Line

Focus on optimizing digestion starting with your mouth by chewing thoroughly, avoiding harmful mouthwash, and eating mindfully with others.
