Often we get annoyed around someone who CHOMPS.  You can hear every bite, every movement, and sometimes see the food moving around in their mouth!  Yuck!  Chomping is not necessary, but CHEWING your food is important and healthy!  In fact, it is within your mouth where digestion begins.  Chewing your food breaks down the big food particles into small, liquefied pieces as it mixes with saliva.  Chewing your food properly signals your body to release digestive enzymes in the stomach that help to b…

Yesterday i was at the eye doctor for my check up...there was a gal working hard to get a cup for some coffee. She was fumbling due to her fingers being inflamed with arthritis. I smiled at her to get her attention and nodded to see if she would welcome help. She smiled back and said, “please.” I helped her get the cup and put it in the machine for the coffee, then was about to hand it to her. She then said quickly, “cream and 2 sugars please.” I supported her putting in the cream and two sugars…
