Best Answer

Chewing is important because it allows you to absorb more nutrients from food, helps you maintain a healthy weight, allows exposure to saliva, and makes digestion easier. Also, it is good for your teeth, reduces the amount of excess bacteria in your intestines, and enables you to taste and enjoy your food more.

Chewing both does an initial breakdown of food, making it easier on your stomach, and also mixes saliva with it, an important first step in the digestive process.
