Question
Has anyone at home told you to eat slowly and to chew well so that the food digests properly? Why do you think they say this?
Solution
Yes, my mother always tells me to eat slowly and to chew well. I think proper chewing is necessary for easier swallowing. It also helps to digest the food.
