What is the benefit of chewing food properly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Helps digestion
Chewing mechanically breaks food into smaller pieces and mixes it with saliva. Saliva begins the digestion of starch and makes the food easier to swallow and process in the stomach and intestine. Chewing does not remove the need for water or eliminate energy; therefore, option A is the only correct answer.
