It will also provide neurological stimulation of your stomach and pancreas to increase their acid and digestive enzyme production. It is also helpful not to talk while you are chewing your food as this interferes with optimal digestion. Please try not to drink fluids with your meals as this will dilute the gastric digestive contents and make it more difficult to digest.

Even worse, microwaved food may cause pathological changes in your body. It is no surprise that microwave heating of food results in losses of nutrients, because all heating methods do this. However microwave heating appears to produce the greatest losses. Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves that alternate in positive and negative directions causing vibration of food molecules up to 2.5 billion times per second. This creates friction and heat.
