Hello everyone. Chewing.What is the proper way of chewing. which side do you chew on. If you are right handed chew on the right and left handed the left. Lot of people take big bites which is wrong. They recommend chewing slowly and small pieces. I chew mostly on my right.sometimes on the left. Whatever is comfortable for you. Plus I eat very slowly to enjoy my food. I see people gobbled up food so fast. We have a couple here.Always eating fast and I feel so uncomfortable with this. Have a good one.I am outta here to enjoy a rare sunny day photo on line

I eat slowly and mostly chew on my right side. My son in law eats so fast that I swear he just inhales his food.

I chew my food slowly to enjoy the tastes as well as the texture. I chew both food as well as chewing gum on my right side of my mouth, that is because I have a filling on the left side that has given me some grief over the years.

Never thought about this except when I have a toothache then I avoid chewing on that side.

@amadeo I am right handed. The reason I chew on my left side is because my molars on the right side are tipped towards the inside of my jaw on the bottom and the top is tipped toward my cheek so my molars don't come together making it hard to chew on that side.

I always eat an early lunch during our snack time at the office 10:00 - 10:15. I would go down like the others to buy my viand since I pack my rice. Thus, when I go back to the office, I eat fastly. But it will always be more than the 15 minutes.

I'm right handed and chew on my left, and always chew thoroughly - with my lips closed. I'm a very slow eater. I wonder if it's because I take small bites and chew so long?
@amadeo (111938)

@DianneN small bites is the best.Same here.The chewing is what give you saliva to swallow nicely there. People seems annoy as I also eat too slowly.Tough.Let them eat cake
