#Chewathon Day One!

It’s day one of this week’s chew-a-thon! What kind of things are you making and chewing? Hubs made delicious aduki bean buns yesterday, and so we kicked off our day chewing those. I found that I had to chew more than 50 times in order to break down the buns to a nice, liquid state, and I felt satisfied and full before I had even finished my portion. Plus, Hubs took just as long as I did to chew his breakfast- which is a major success!

Todays chewing tip: If you find it difficult to chew pureed soups, soft cooked grain porridges or other liquid-y meals, try adding garnish (parsley, cilantro, scallion, chives and even nuts or seeds) into the soup or porridge. As well as creating energetic balance and adding nutrients and a splash of colour, these quick garnishes have now provided you with a reason to chew!

An average of 80-100 chewings per mouthful for today :)

It’s becoming sweeter, and seems like another taste. Sometimes it is not comfortable when it becomes liquidy. Maybe it depends on my mood :)
