When I suffered with eczema I was very conscious of the Eczema on my Face. But had I focused on the nutrients I was consuming I could have eliminated the Eczema on my face much sooner than I did.

There is a very easy way to improve the nutrients that you absorb from your food immediately. It is not that difficult and if you incorporate it in your eating routine you will receive a lot of other health benefits.

All you need do to improve the nutrient absorption is to chew. If you chew your food thoroughly so that it is almost liquid in form when you swallow, you will dramatically improve the quality and amount of nutrients your body absorbs.

Most people tend to chop and swallow their food. The food arrives in the stomach in chunks and is not completely digested. In fact if you do not chew your food sufficiently when it arrives in the intestines it will ferment.

This fermentation creates excess waste and toxin within the digestion system and you are placing an additional burden on your system. One of the reasons why people suffer disease and eczema is because of excess toxin in the body.

If you chew your foods between 30 and 40 times, the food you eat starts to digest in your mouth.

Let’s say you bite some carbohydrates and begin chewing thoroughly. Ptyalin, which is contained in your saliva begins to breakdown the food in your mouth so that by the time it arrives in the stomach it can be thoroughly digested and nutrients absorbed by the intestine.

As I said before there are other benefits to thoroughly chewing your food including the following:

Change the Way You Chew – Tip #1

When you chew your food thoroughly you strengthen your immune system. Chewing releases a hormone named parotin which is responsible for protecting and strengthening your immunity.

With strengthened immunity your body is in a better position to fight off diseases including eczema.

Change the Way You Chew – Tip #2

When you chew your food thoroughly you reduce your appetite and need to eat so much food. When you start to chew your food a signal is sent to your brain after twenty minutes saying “stop eating I’m satisfied”. When you chew your foods thoroughly, and slowly this signal is sent before you overeat.

Change the Way You Chew – Tip #3

When you chew your food thoroughly your thinking becomes clearer and you develop a healthier nervous system. When you chew slowly you consume more oxygen. Most of the oxygen we take in goes straight to the brain and the nervous system.
