Become smarter, chewing well! (Benefit of chewing part 2)

I will describe two benefits of chewing following the previous posting.

( Part 1 is from here → Benefit of chewing, Part 1)

3. Development of brain

Do you believe the brain is developed by chewing?! It is true.

We need many kind of stimulation for developing the brain. The stimulation  fall into 2 major groups. One of 2 groups is the stimulation obtained from many experiences through five senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing, and eyesight). And another one is the stimulation obtained from motion, the chewing is one of the motion.

We do various motion in our life. Do you think the chewing is a little and not so important motion for stimulation to develop the brain? Hang on to your hut, it is said that the stimulation obtained from chewing is 50% of the stimulation which the brain receives from motion during a day !! The muscles related the chewing locates near the brain, so the brain receives highly-intensive and large amounts stimulates from chewing. Blood flow of the brain increase by chewing, it is a factor for development of brain. It helps to prevent someone from going senile also.

Do you know "DHA" or "EPA" which are known good constituent for the brain. These are important materials for making the cell of brain, called " synapse". The synapse needs to  connect with other synapses for signaling, and synapses aren't able to connect each other without the stimulation. If children take a supplement of DHA of EPA, it is no meaning without chewing.  Eating fish includes natural DHA with chewing well is perfect to develop the brain, isn't it ?!

My children had eaten dried small fish as afternoon snack!! 

4. Correct pronunciation 

Do you wonder that the chewing relates to correct pronunciation? Bones and muscles of around mouth are developed by chewing. The developed bone constitutes balanced framework of oral.  The balanced framework of oral has an enough space to move tongue, it is very important factor of correct pronunciation. Of course, the developed muscles are important for the correct pronunciation also. (For your information, the developed muscles are able to maintain youthful face!!)

If I start to eat with the chewing well, will my pronunciation (especially L and R!) be overcome? Hehehe.
