When you think of your most favourite food, close your eyes and imagine eating it what do you notice first?
Your mouth waters ....
Saliva isnโt just spit โ itโs the first digestive fluid your body produces.
It plays multiple roles:
โ๏ธ Lubricates food into a smooth bolus for safe swallowing
โ๏ธ Contains enzymes like amylase and lipase to begin breaking down carbs and fats
โ๏ธ Delivers immune cells (like IgA and lysozymes) that defend against pathogens
๐ฆท It also buffers acids and helps protect your teeth and gums.
Without adequate saliva:
๐It is difficult to chew, food and swallow
๐คYour mucous membranes can become traumatised more easily.
๐คขDigestion is compromised
๐คบThe gut has to work harder in the digestive process.
๐ฅInflammation and irritation can follow
Dry mouth is uncomfortable ....
