An American health-food guru of the late 1800s, Horace Fletcher, was known as 'The Great Masticator'. He recommended chewing food at least once for every tooth or 32 times per mouthful before swallowing.Digestion of food begins with the chewing, as you chew for a longer period the amylase in your saliva begins breaking down the food so that the nutrients in it are absorbed more easily into your system. Digestion is easier and more nutrients are derived from the food you eat.
