Question

Raju got stomach ache. Which of the following could be a reason?

• A. He ate food at seven in the evening.
• B. He drank water after eating food.
• C. He did not chew the food properly.
• D. He did not wash his hands properly after eating food.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

He did not chew the food properly.

• Chewing breaks your food down from large particles into smaller particles that are more easily digested.
• This also makes it easier for your intestines to absorb nutrients from the food particles as they pass through.
• Chewing properly allows your stomach to work more efficiently and break down your food faster. Hence, Raju got the stomach ache as he did not chew the food properly.
• Thus the correct answer is option C.
