From same interview-- why chewing matters. ( Funny, when I put some thought into how to prevent colon cancer, one aspect was chewing my food very well instead of inhaling. Mastication to reduce particle size, allowing the enzymes to easily attack, adding saliva to do it's job. ANd NOT drinking during a meal, maybe a sip or two.)
Quote:
If we don’t chew, we damage our teeth. We damage our stomach. We don’t produce enough of saliva. We don’t produce enough enzymes. We don’t produce enough of acids. So chewing aspect is very important. So a high-quality diet is always a balanced diet in a similar proportion of fats, natural fats preferably, animal fats in my book, carbohydrates in moderation, and proteins in moderation.
And the trick to this—people ask me, “How do you stay on a diet that is balanced and not excessive?” I said, “Well, you know, you eat in moderation. And I recommend eating only once or twice a day. And that’s what keep me going very well.
