Wonders 2

From my body I can see & perceive my Creator - Iyov 19:26.
As we put food into our mouth ,we experience many programs that are activated by Hashems profound wisdom.
One process is called Saliva which provides many benefits , including :
- the mouth is always kept somewhat moist for many reasons.
- When food is put in to the mouth 6 salivary glands begin to produce & pump in a flood of saliva from 6 factories which produce the marvelous fluid.
( Why 6 ? Perhaps they correspond to the 6 constant Mitzvos which we should learn & keep fluent in our mouths regularly ).
- It breaks down starches to begin the digestive process.
- It makes food slippery so that it goes goes down smoothly.
- It also contains chemicals which destroy many germs to help us stay healthy.
- It also stimulates the taste buds to help us enjoy the food more.
- It helps us speak more clearly.
- It helps keep the mouth & teeth clean.
* the hebrew word Rok for saliva also means Rak , only because the saliva helps to isolate the food & purify it for our benefit.
