Objective: Maintaining plasma glucose homeostasis is vital for mammalian survival, but the masticatory function, which influences glucose regulation, has, to our knowledge, been overlooked.
Research Methods And Procedures: In this study, we investigated the relationship between the glycemic response curve and chewing performance in a group of 8 individuals who consumed 80 g of apple. A device called "Chewing" utilizing electromyographic (EMG) technology quantitatively assesses chewing pattern, while glycemic response is analyzed using continuous glucose monitoring.
The objective of this review was to critically examine existing digital applications, tailored for use by citizens and professionals, to provide diet monitoring, diet planning, and precision nutrition. We sought to identify the strengths and weaknesses of such digital applications, while exploring their potential contributions to enhancing public health, and discussed potential developmental pathways. Nutrition is a critical aspect of maintaining good health, with an unhealthy diet being one of the primary risk factors for chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

- Chewing plays a crucial role in digestion and metabolism, but traditional methods of studying it often confuse chewing with other mouth movements.
- Electromyography (EMG) is a more accurate technique for detecting chewing behaviors, yet existing devices lack self-awareness features related to personal chewing habits.
- A new non-invasive device was developed to analyze individual chewing styles, revealing that non-smokers tend to chew more efficiently than smokers, which could help improve unhealthy chewing habits.
