I'm looking for foods, that are hard to chew and not too pricy. Mastic gum / Falim gum is too expensive for the long term and I think to make a habit out of chewing for 30-60min a day, it would be a good idea to chew on foods that actually taste good and arent unhealthy.
For example: What exactly where the foods, that our pre-agriculture ancestors ate, that where so much tougher? (I dont think it was raw meat, too dangerous and inefficient energy-wise)
Thanks in advance.
Raw brocoli, carrots, apples, pears, cabbage, celery and if you go to the supermarket, you will find even more vegetables and fruits that didn't come to my mind.
Thanks for the reply,
never thought about eating raw vegetables. Tried raw broccoli today, its not much of a "jaw-workout" but better than nothing, and the taste is okay.
You don't want to overwork your jaws. Even Dr. Michael Mew says that. I'm not sure where "Mewing" got redefined.
I honestly don't think that's the wisest idea. First, Mastic/Falim gums are pretty cheap, you can get 100 on Amazon for $8-10, this is enough for 2 years! You just need to chew them for a couple of hours and then put it inside the refrigerator in a cup of water, you can change the water every two days and the gums every 1 or 2 weeks.
Our ancestors had time to chew harder food because the had nothing else to do, it was just hunt, eat, sex, sleep. You'll probably be wasting at least 1 hour a day just to finish your meals.

How is hunt, eat, sex and sleep any different? Hunt for the remote, eat all day, have sex then fall asleep.
