INSIGHT

Face Muscles Are Often Neglected

  • Facial muscles are an overlooked group that need movement just like feet and limbs.
  • Katy Bowman highlights that modern life has made these muscles largely off our radar and underused.
INSIGHT

Food Provides Mechanical Nutrients

  • Diet supplies mechanical nutrients that exercise the face through chewing and biting.
  • Bowman asks whether your diet gives your jaws texture or is a flat landscape they constantly traverse.

  • Choose less mechanically processed foods to demand more chewing and jaw work.
  • A whole carrot, shredded carrot, and cooked carrot require very different chewing efforts.
