Digestion Begins In The Mouth
Fruits have healing and curative effect and many of them should be eaten on an empty stomach, in order to use this curative effect. So many fruits shouldn’t be eating just after meals like most people do, but grape is not one of those fruits. Just after meals, you may eat white grapes because it also contains a type of acid which is exactly a sialagogue (saliva-increase component). Saliva contains ptyalin and it speeds up and catalyzes the digestion. Please remember the important rule: “Digestion begins in the mouth”. Masticating or chewing your food is very important, so do it properly. The longer you chew, the easier to digest the foods since you crush them into small pieces, food will have a bigger area to interact with enzymes.
