Help me resolve a discussion with husband.... Does chewing our food 20 times before swallowing make a difference or is it just an old wives' tale?

Like many in lockdown I'm getting keen to boost my health and immune system. I'm fascinated to learn that 70% of our immune system is based in our gut. So we are looking at our digestion at the moment....

Having seen a couple of rather convincing articles on health websites, I'd proposed we started chewing our food 20 times before swallowing and eating a bit more slowly.

He's told me it's an old wives' tale and doesn't make a difference at all.... I'm not sure I believe him.

What do you think?

I had a steak at the harvester which I think needed 20 minutes chewing each pieceConfused
