Short YouTube advice by Sachin Patel addressing people with persistent digestive problems. He suggests many cases stem from not chewing food properly, lists physiological benefits of chewing (breaking plant cell walls, increasing digestive blood flow, activating parasympathetic state, improving taste/enzyme preparation), and instructs listeners to chew each bite 30–40 times to improve satiety, nutrient extraction, and often resolve symptoms.

One of the things that I hear over and over in practice is Satchin. I've seen every specialist, I've taken every test, I've tried every diet and I've taken every supplement and nothing seems to be helping with my digestive issues. Nobody can seem to figure out what's wrong. So the first question I asked this person and I ask of you is, are you chewing your food intentionally? Chewing your food helps you break open the cell wall of plants. It helps you increase blood flow to the digestive system. It helps you shift into a parasympathetic relaxed and digestive state. It also helps you taste your food so your body knows what nutrients are coming and how to properly make the required enzymes to digest your meal. So many benefits from simply chewing your food that are often overlooked and not considered. So next time you have a meal, chew each bite 30 to 40 times. You'll feel more satiated, you'll have more nutritional extraction from that food and you will get better digestion and many of times your symptoms will completely disappear.
