What is the right way to chew food?
Here's how to get the most out of your meals:
- Don't overload your spoon or fork. Food should stay on without falling off.
- With food in your mouth, close your lips and start chewing.
- Chew slowly, counting to 32 with each bite of food.
- Once the bite has lost all texture, you can swallow.
