If you want to improve your digestion efficiency, then chew your food for longer before you swallow. This puts more saliva (containing food enzymes) into your stomach to soak/soften the food for 40 minutes, before the hydro-chloric acid starts pouring into your stomach to do the main digestion process.
If you don't have enough food enzymes in your stomach for the pre-soak, then you can end up with tiny particles of undigested food, which can get into the bloodstream and cause a food alllergy reaction.
It was rare for food allergies 100 years ago, but modern processed food doesn't need much biting before swallowing, and so insufficent food enzymes and saliva are made available to pre-soak the food.
