Good chewing is vital, and you can check on how good you are at it by
looking at your stools. If you are able to recognize much of your food,
then chew more! Even if you are desperately hungry, restrain yourself
because your haste may easily backfi re. In the short term it may produce
gas, and in the long term, poor assimilation and ill health, not to mention
a backed-up bowel, resulting in constipation or diarrhea. Take it slowly
and chew.
Bad dental care and mouth problems can hamper your ability to chew
well, so go regularly to the dentist, brush your teeth, and take care of your
mouth. Mouthwashes containing salt, oak bark, fennel seed, and myrrh
leaf are helpful for abscesses, receding gums, and infection. They can be
especially effective alongside regular brushing.
