broken down (with the help of digestives enzymes released in your
mouth) prior to entering your stomach. When food is properly broken
down, the risk of bloating and adverse GI symptoms will improve. The
more you chew, the more nutrients you will absorb. Considering we
eat to nourish our bodies, this is an important point to make. If you
properly chew your food, it will be digested and metabolized more
effectively.

absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.
