Chewing your food properly is a metabolism hack — Ayurveda explained this centuries ago, modern science tells you chew your food 32 times.
According to Charaka Samhita, the process of digestion (Anna Paak) begins not in the stomach, but in the mouth — with Anna Pariksha, the mindful evaluation and breakdown of food.
When you chew food slowly and consciously:
You awaken Jeeva (life force) and prepare the body for digestion
You activate salivary enzymes that initiate Paachan (digestion)
You allow your Agni (digestive fire) to kindle properly — which burns Meda (fat tissue) efficiently
Mindless eating or gulping down food leads to Ama (toxins) — the very root of stubborn weight gain in Ayurveda.
So no, weight loss doesn’t begin at the gym.
