Food Allergies

The foods that we develop allergies to are the ones that we do not chew well. For example, some of the most common food allergies are eggs, peanuts(peanut butter), milk, protein powders, and beef(ground beef). These are all foods that people tend to swallow without letting the digestive process start in the mouth. This leads me to the quote "you should drink your food and eat your water." World renown fitness expert Paul Chek likes to use this quote. This quote means that you should chew your food so well that it is liquefied and you should swirl your water around in your mouth before swallowing. By doing these things you will allow the enzymes in the mouth to begin to break down the food, so that it can be absorbed. What good are all of these nutrients that we eat if we are not absorbing them. Of the the common trends I find with people who need to lose weight is that they all eat quickly. The trend that I find with people who are naturally lean is that they eat really slowly. So the take home message today is to eat slowly and chew your food well.
