Dr. Katie To says stress while eating increases food acidity in your body. Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly lets saliva neutralize and break down food, reducing acidity-related damage to teeth and organs.
For me, nutrition comes down to very basic. Number one is definitely acidity. I want to make sure that when I'm eating anything, I want to pay attention to is it acidic to my teeth? Is it going to be acidic to my body? Is that going to make my body more acidic? Okay. By the way, eating in stress, stressful environment, eating in stressful environment is making your food acidic. You make sure you eat slow. Slowly enjoy your food, chewing your food enough that can— your saliva can break your food down.
