Chewing does begin the digestive process. The saliva that mixes with the food starts to break it down before it arrives in your stomach. Not chewing may slow down the digestive process. However a banana is pretty soft and easy to digest so I doubt that doing this will do you any real harm.
Do be cautious of choking though and learn how to do a self Heimlich maneuver just to be on the safe side. I can imagine a bunch of your friends laughing while you are doing this and if you are choking they may think it is all in fun and may not notice you are in distress.
Well. It is a neat trick you can show boys later
So long as you don't struggle it's fine. Chewing is only meant for food to be small enough to travel through the body/throat. Onces it's in your tummy it's fine
And I do I all the time as a neat trick to show off, but im curious if it is bad for my digestive system?
