Mostly Blended/liquid Diet
Posted: 07-08-07 02:37am

recently i purchased a high-powered (4hp) blender. i can blend almost anything with it including seeds and nuts. they turn to mush. it's so easy to just combine my entire meals worth of food with some water and drink it down at a good pace. i usually chew my food very well and it takes me a long time to eat anything at all. this blender seems like it could be addicting. will i have any digestion/nutritional problems if i make this the staple of my eating habit?

i heard the longer the food is in your mouth the more digestive juices your stomach produces.

this is not a good idea.
when you chew you produce saliva which begins the process of breaking down your food, the saliva also increase the stomach juices to aid the food break down.

I'm a little concerned that you wish to eat pureed food and this hints at a mental condition or an inability to deal with adulthood.

by all means chew your food well but you do not have to chew it to extreme degrees.

all this changes if you have a medical condition of the oesophagus of course.
