Chew On This! Why Chewing is Important. “The Ja Chew On This! Why Chewing is Important.

“The Japanese word kami (chew) means God or Divine Spirit. Chewing in the original Japanese meaning is to develop ourselves, to reach to the Universal Spirit.” Michio Kushi
.
Asian medicine practitioners take digestion very seriously.  If they don’t you, you may want to consider who you are working with and here’s why.
.
Digestion is the foundation for all Qi, Blood and Fluids in the body. All your vitality, energy, immunity, ability to grow and heal stem from your ability to transform food you eat and the utilize it properly. Let’s face it, we haven’t evolved osmosis yet so the vital substances your body needs must come from the food we eat and the air we breathe.
.
Chewing your food well is one of the first recommendations I make to any client. This recommendation stems from the understanding that in preventative healthcare we always work to improve the digestion – always. Rare is the client whose digestion doesn’t improve from simply chewing.  As a culture, we tend to rush or even skip chewing.  (Smoothie and green drink proponents beware, you may not love what I have to say.)  You know, slowly masticating your food, mechanically breaking it down and mingling it with salivary amylase. In children, elderly and those that are ill, it is doubly important that we strengthen and protect the digestive system and don’t skip this important step. Read the rest of the blog.
