Answer:
Saliva is 98% water, so it moistens the mouth and helps compact food into softened particles for easier swallowing. ... It's important to chew your food as much as possible, as taking longer to chew gives the enzymes in saliva time to begin the process of breaking down carbohydrates, a very important part of digestion.
