Modern diets are insanely soft (e.g: mashed carbs, processed goyslop, overcooked meat) Your jaw is a bone that responds to mechanical load, especially during puberty when bone remodeling is more active
Start the bite with your incisors.
Why?
it endorses forward growth stimulus mechanics (i have no idea what i just said ngl) , promotes balanced facial muscle use and prevents lazy vertical chomping/chewing
How:
Tear into food instead of cutting everything. Like a predator (not a joke take lions for example bhai)
After the tear shift food back to the premolars.
Why premolars over molars?
Molars are built for chewing extremely tough foods (which modern food barely is). Premolars create lateral force for bone stimulation, and also enforces masseter activation without excessive joint stress (so u don't get tmj)
switch sides every few bites; because if you chew only on one side it risks facial asymmetry, uneven masseter growth and jaw deviation
If chewing one side feels easier chew on the weaker side.
You want foods that are atleast moderately tough to chew.
chicken
beef jerky
lamb
Raw carrots
Celery
apples
Cabbage
proper sourdough
Bagels
whole-grain bread
Avoid white bread.
nuts
dried fruit (not the sugary candy type)
gum chewing alot (it causes tmj)
rockhard foods (you want to chew not to die also causes tmj)
stop when you get jaw pain
pain is not a good strategy
PLEASE GIVE ME CONTRIBUTER BRO

The Ideal Chewing Pattern
Initiating the Bite

Transitioning to Premolars
After the tear shift food back to the premolars.

Slow Bilateral Chewing
switch sides every few bites; because if you chew only on one side it risks facial asymmetry, uneven masseter growth and jaw deviation
If chewing one side feels easier chew on the weaker side.
Daily Foods You Should Eat
You want foods that are atleast moderately tough to chew.
Protein Sources
steak (not overcooked)chicken
beef jerky
lamb
Plants
Raw carrots
Celery
apples
Cabbage
Dense Carbs
proper sourdough
Bagels
whole-grain bread
Avoid white bread.
Snacks
nuts
dried fruit (not the sugary candy type)
Don’t Overdo It
Avoid:gum chewing alot (it causes tmj)
rockhard foods (you want to chew not to die also causes tmj)
stop when you get jaw pain
