why you should chew the food for longer time?
The digestion of carbohydrate being in the mouth itself . Saliva contain an enzyme called amylase which is capable of breaking cooked starch into smaller units. However, the time available for this enzyme to breakdown the starch in the mouth is too short to allow for significance amount of conversion to take place.The longer one chew the food , more the digestion of starch.
