Chew your food
The mouth is the first organ that helps with digestion. Your teeth help break the food into smaller pieces to increase the surface area for enzymes to act. Studies show that poor chewing contributes to reduced nutrient absorption. When you chew your food properly, your stomach will have less work to do in turning the solid food into liquid before it enters the small intestine. Chewing produces saliva. The longer you chew, the more saliva your parotid glands make. Saliva helps break down carbs and fats in your mouth when you chew. Saliva acts as a fluid in the stomach which helps mix the solid food so that it easily passes through your intestines.
