![]() Chew until the food becomes liquefied. Think of your mouth like a Magic Bullet, or a Vitamix. Break that food down!! Typically this is 5-10 chews for soft foods and 20-30 chews for harder foods. Chewing breaks down your food which helps your body in so many different ways. It allows your body proper digestion. The more you chew allows your food more exposure to saliva which has digestive enzymes which helps breakdown fats, nutrients and brings them to the right places in your body. If you chew your food using your teeth, the less energy your body needs/uses to break down the food. Therefore the more energy you will have for other fun things! Next time you take a bite of something, become aware of how many times you actually chew before you swallow. The more time you take to chew your food, the better it will taste and the less you will actually eat because it slows down the eating process, and this will allow you to feel full before you overeat.

Jenny TecklenburgFeeling weak, anxious and unconnected to my body lead me to start exercising. I joined a dance class once a week and after every dance class I had a glow about me, and it wasn't just from the sweat that I built up in class, it was something more. I realized it was the endorphins that were being produced from the physical activity I was doing. That was 13 years ago. Since then I have devoted my career life to helping other humans, like yourself, kick butt in their health and fitness goals. If you're looking for a helping hand or not even knowing where you should start... I would be more than honoured to help! Archives
