Most digestive trouble starts long before the stomach gets involved, at the table, in the first twenty seconds of a meal. This is a close look at chewing as the overlooked first step of digestion: why swallowing too soon overworks everything downstream, how texture and saliva set the stage for absorption, and what a slower, more deliberate bite can do for comfort after eating. Practical, calm, and easy to put to use tonight.
