Why will your diegestion be faster if you chew your food?

Answer 1

It increases the surface area available for digestive enzymes to work on.
When you chew food, the enzymes in your saliva get inside the food and break the nutrients down faster.

Also - More surface area makes things dissolve faster. A powder (or something close) always breaks down faster than a block of the same material.

Answer 2

you digest your food more quickly if you chew it well before you swallow it because while you are chewing, you are tuning your food into smaller pieces .small pieces of food you are swallowing allows you to increase the surface area .which means more chewed pieces of food can be swallowed quickly, so surface area increases the rate of reaction.

Answer 3

Chewing food speeds up digestion because it is the first line of breaking things down, and has a significant effect in reducing the size of the eaten food so that the amylase and other enzymes in your mouth and digestive tract will have an easier time in getting the food to a decent size for the stomach to then deal with.

Answer 4

Easier for the acids to dissolve the foods if they're in smaller pieces.

Answer 5

It makes the food smaller while you chew which helps go through the esophagus easily and pass though all the other systems.

Answer 6

Chewing your food has multiple digestive functions. It softens the food, incorporates saliva, and increases surface area for the enzymes to work on.

Answer 7

Yes, chewing your food will make the digestion process faster.
