Juliette's nutrition tip : Chew it

Believe it or not, when we chew food, it's mixed with saliva which actually begins the digestive process. So make sure you give your food a good chew before you do so. If you gulp it down without really tasting it, you'll miss out this first important step of digestion – and that doesn't help your digestive system.

Taking time to actually chew your food enables you to actually taste it! Listen to your stomach when it tells you are full - you don't have to clean your plate every mealtime.

Anything that helps digestion is worth reminding us about.
