T: Oh really? How can we fix that? Probiotics?
KK: Probiotics come later on in the chain, but the number one
reason for undigested protein is that people don’t chew their
food.
T: As simple as that, huh?
KK: As simple of that. About 30% of digestion happens in your
mouth. If you just inhale your food, it’s really hard for the body
to break it down. The analogy I’ve learned is it’s a lot like
buttoning your shirt. If you start one button down so it’s not
lined up, then it’s out of whack all the way down the chain. To fix
it, you have to straighten it out starting from the top.
So chew your food, and even chew your protein shakes. A lot of
people just gulp this stuff down and it creates a huge glycemic
rush and it’s also not digested well. The digestive process is
started by chewing, so chew the liquid.
T: Wait a minute, you mean to actually make chewing motions
with a mouthful of protein shake?
KK: Yes, that chewing motion creates salivation within the
mouth and is able to "tag" the different enzymes within the
actual protein, therefore you’ll be able to break it down better. If
you’re a person that has gas after ingesting a protein shake,
then just chew the liquid and you’ll probably solve that problem.
Chew it about five or six times, just enough to get the
stimulation going.
T: So you’re not really grinding up the protein any smaller; it’s
more of a Pavlovian response.
KK: Totally. It’s basically a neurological response. It’s no
different that visualization really. You know, you think about
biting into a lemon and you start to salivate. Also, most people
swallow their protein powders way too fast and it’s way to
concentrated. The body can’t always utilize it and you get
bloating. People assume they got their hands on some bad
protein, and maybe they did, but a lot of times they just have
poor chewing habits! In fact, in Germany there’s a clinic where
they basically try to cure cancer by teaching people how to chew
their food. They suggest chewing your food until it turns into
almost a fluid; chew about 30 or 40 times.
